In July, Kluge’s Metromedia Restaurant Company declared Chapter 7 bankruptcy.

John Kluge impresses me. No matter how much money he has, will have, or dies with - he’s always been just as down to earth and friendly as he can be. I have met him several times in a local steak house. The first time I didn’t even realize who I was talking to. If I had, I would have asked him to donate $100,000 to my favorite charity - namely me!
