ALL YOU CAN EAT PIZZA AND DRINKS 00 5. BEST SERVER: EDWARD DANO AT SHIKI 2nd: Glenn at Four Winds 3rd: Bikram Why do you think you deserve this award? It has to do with my class as much as me. It’s a good class. A lot of spirit, a lot of love in the group. And I’ve been doing this for a long time. I’ve been teaching in Eugene for about 14 years. Everyone’s accepted, everyone is welcome. What’s the oldest item in your wardrobe? I have an old denim jacket that my sister made for me in the ’70s. It’s kind of ’70s disco style with big lapels. It’s almost knee length. 2nd: Ken at Iraila 3rd: Quinn at Ring of Fire Do you think you really deserve to win? Definitely. I know how it is for me on my side, but I’m probably answering more for customers who come back in time and time again with big happy smiles. It’s just caring and paying a lot of attention to detail. I’m kind of anal retentive. I’m really critical when I go out to eat. I try and put myself in the customer’s situation and do it the way I’d want it done. And it’s important to have knowledge about what it is you’re serving, be it wine or food. We serve a lot of exotic things, so people like little explanations and stories about what they’re eating. Care, overall, would be the word. What’s the old- est item in your wardrobe? A cashmere Chesterfield — a long topcoat, very old- school. Almost 1800s-style. I wear it when the occasion presents itself. I got it at a vin- tage store when I was about 15. BEST MASSAGE THERAPIST: LES CASTLE AT EUGENE WELLNESS CENTER ON 18TH 2nd: George Davidson 3rd: Margaret Pratt He has magic hands, or so you voters would have us believe. A seasoned professional, Les Castle has been loosening knots and providing bodily comfort via massage for the past 30 years. Do you really deserve to win this? Yeah, sure. I deserve to win. Why not? I have loyal, loving clients who read EW and who fill out the form to elect me. What’s your greatest fear? That George W. Bush will get re-elected. I also fear getting old and ending up in a nursing home. I often go to nursing homes to work on peo- ple and it would be awful to live in one.
