Larry the older white guy from T1? If I remember correctly, he got bumped from TF entirely the year before COVID due to some changes in the restaurants and some senior folks cascading. He was always kinda crusty, but once he knew you he was the absolute nicest dude. He'd always make my margaritas perfectly.
My wife let me know it was open. It wasn't open in December and I've not been through ORD in a while.

I'm flying SJO to LAX in mid-November. I believe that's 6 1/2 hours.... i'm debating just buying up to first to guarantee the seat but if I'm in Y I'll report back on food options.

not sure of the names, but definitely know the older guy. However, We always used to like the younger (-almost mid-age), maybe I’ll describe as ‘pudgy’ guy who was always great to us - especially with our kids. I definitely saw him one of my last per-pandemic trips through ORD (maybe Jan. 2020), but I know there were a few trips in the year or so before that we never saw him, so not sure if he was gone for a while or what happened.

Might have been. I know he was getting bumped, but not sure when that was due or the effect COVID had.
I know that guy too. He was very nice, but didn't make drinks as well.
I’ll be through ORD this weekend, so will try to stop by and post an update.
