Waiter Misses Calling

John Galloway missed his calling. With his talent, he should have become a writer.

The book recounts Galloway's days as a waiter in a posh Washington D. C. restaurant. His experiences with a clientele composed of mobsters, politicians, bumpkins from outside the district, lawyers, soused barflies and … more
