Comments:Hello to all from the 70's and 80's. Miss the food, atmosphere, good vibes, but most of all the people. Bob&Betty, Mary, Terry, Tim, Ranger, Captain and everyone. Been living in Delray Beach, Fl for years now and there is nothing here that comes close. Will be passing thru East LA the last week of January and plan to stop in for sure. Peace to all.

Comments:I moved away from Lansing/East Lansing eight years ago. But I fondly remember my times in the seventies and eighties, hanging out at Beggar's Banquet.

I just happened by while doing some Net research, and I'm glad you're still in business. I hope to god you haven't gotten rid of the great stained glass windows and wooden booths. And I hope the food's as great now as it was then.

Comments:hello freinds-
i was just cruising around the internet to check up on some good memories. The class of '96 &'97 was fun as hell, where the wine nights soared and Todd kept telling me to turn down the music. Patrick was the man, Jerome was in his trance, and the chili was 9.5!
I am in Los Angeles, working with Yahoo! -- i am engaged to the most gorgious Emi Deguchi...we will be married next June. I hope everyone is well, and give Bob a big hug from me!
love,
jonny no problems

Comments:I was recently back in E. Lansing after a long hiatus and was happy to see my favorite MSU haunt looking just as I remembered it, though the tradition of a mug of Stroh's and a bowl of chili seems to have vanished. My buddies Tim Innes and Sean Kavanagh virtually lived at BB in the late 70s/early 80s, and introducing my son Patrick to the special ambience of Beggars was a real treat.

Glad yer still kicking there, whenever i get back to the USA (i live in Australia) i'll drop in and say hello. PS Who's the guy with the beard i remember his face but seem to remember his name starting with T??? Oh well i was just a kid and it was alooong time ago Cheers Tristan Varga-Miller

I now come to you nearly live, broadcasting in "smoke-ah-moke-ah-vision" from the Honeycomb Hideout (now long gone with the rest of the back alley, but still remembered)
Am still in E. L. for those of you with a gumption to come and visit. Drop a line to the email above and let me know that your going to be around. We can meet in the Voo-Doo Lounge and tell tall tales of times long ago.
...Like back when Big Dave made the Quiche and Bill Ashley spent a whole shift juggling invisable fruit...
Am still waiting for my Honorary Bartenders Plaque (seeing as I was the only Head Chef to ever Bartend once a year - that has got to mean something to someone)
Am still waiting for someone to uncover the now long lost "Line Cooks Walk of Shame" plaque that I made out of the old barn wood from the Women's Bathroom in the back of the old "new" room.

Just received invite to 19th Annual Beggar's Banquet Bartender's Reunion. Wish I could, but not this year. Hopefully the 20th.

Have a great time!!

Relocated to Petoskey. Daryl is head chef at a restaurant
called the Bear River Brewery. Getting married in July or
August. The menu looks incredible as well as the web
site. Give everyone a big hello!! Any info on how to
reach Julio? How does he like it down south? Best wishes
to Bob and Betty. Give Scotty from Rick's, Tom from the
Land Shark, Elvis and the T Ross a big hug for me!! Miss
you all!

Comments:We sure enjoy remembering our beggars family and miss them
a lot. Beau has found gainful employment at a restaurant
called O'Briens, bartending outside all day long on the
banks of the Chicago River, but it's a far cry from
beggar's banquet, he loves his new job, but misses his old
friends. I'm completing the Illinois teacher certification
process and am anticipating when I have my very own
classroom of students. We can't wait to come and visit
during the Folk Festival in August. See you all then!

Comments:Proud Beggular 1975-79
So I move 2000 miles away to a barely-inhabited island off
the coast of Texas and become a humble but happy sand
sculptor. One day not too long ago I am chatting with my
next-door neighbor - the successful attorney with a big
house and well-manicured lawn - and what do I find out? He,
too was a proud Beggular, 1975-79. (Is this where we all
break into a heartwarming chorus of "It's a small small
world"?)
