Sound bite: Todd Jones, Celebrity Restaurant

Todd Jones

Waiter at Celebrity Restaurant, 3109 S. Yale Ave., which will close after the 2021 holiday season.

How long have you worked at Celebrity?

11 years.

How many customers have you served fried chicken?

Easily 12,000 plus. I would say at least 40-50% of customers order fried chicken.

Favorite part of the holiday season at the restaurant?

The decorations and being a part of all the guests’ holiday celebrations and experiencing the fun family times.

What is something you’ll never forget about working there?

I will miss all the customers and employees and the family I have created with them all. I’ve never thought of it as work, but rather as spending time with family and friends.   

Your favorite meal in Tulsa?

The meatball pizza from (East Village) Bohemian. I could honestly eat it every day.  

A tourist asks where to eat breakfast. Where are you sending them?

Bramble, of course! I go for the brunch, but stay for the mimosas.
