Eaters Classified

NEW YORK.-Recently q
couple Of local restaurant own
ers burst forth with some
observations they had made over
the years about the eating habits
of restaurant patrons. Yes
terday, the walters at Hutton's
Lexington Restaurant pooled
their reflections on the tipping
habits of restaurant eaters.
For instance. they're con-
vinced that the thinner the eater,
the thinner the tip. Eaters who
talk a lot tip better than silent
eaters. Young eaters are better
tipperS than old eaters. Men
who don't want to check their
hats and coats are invariably
poor tippers. The longer an
eater studies the menu, the
cheaper the items selected and
the tip will be meagre.
John Bruno, who owns the
Pen and Pencil steak house, has
roughly classified steak eaters.
A Southerner will usually want
meat well done, q Texan charred
outside and rare inside, a visitor
from the West Coast will want
medium cooked and the New
Yorker wants it rare.
Dick Ratazzi. who runs his
own eatery on East Forty-eighth
street, has also been keeping
awake. Dick reports that If a
customer falls down after one
drink you can assume he's been
drinking elsewhere. A clean
shaven patron who orders a
muStache cup will be a slow
eater. A patron who takes more
than one pack Of matches is
either a tourist or somebody who
never heard of toothpicks.
