The passing of Gore Vidal, writer, playwright, politician and commentator, saddens those who remember him from Musso and Frank. He was a regular customer since the 1940’s and entertained fellow guests and staff with his humor and stories. In recent years, he was served by Sergio Gonzalez, his favorite waiter.
Mr. Vidal once remarked that entering Musso and Frank “is like stepping into a warm bath.”
Rest in Peace
