Adrian Grenier Eats Korea

October 04, 2006

Well, not the whole country, although he did look hungry enough to eat at least the north part of the peninsula. Okay, bad metaphor.

The point is that BBCancelled was eating Korean food in Manhattan last night on 13th Street and 5th Avenue when Adrian and friend (a man, don't worry ladies, looked like a bandmate) walked into the dive. No free table. So they stood, silently, in that perfectly New York City way that celebs do to act cool. Then, a couple got up to leave and the man looked at Grenier and said, "Is it..."

And all Grenier did was nod affirmatively.

Dude from wherever then whipped out his cellphone and asked, "Can I..."

It was so perfectly straight-guy talk it should have been in a Quentin Tarantino movie.

Once again, Grenier said as little as possible. He grunted, "Sure."

Snap. Done. And they sat down. And then Grenier and friend and drumsticks. Oh yeah, Grenier was carrying brand new drumsticks which is why it looked like the guy was in his band. They had to ask their neighbors for help understanding the menu.

Coolest part? While a "mean girl" sitting next to BBCancelled (from Domino magazine no less!) wouldn't stop using her cellphone. We even asked her to stop, and she said, "I don't know how to turn it off." Well, while ordinary chicks like that are being rude, Grenier AND his friend both took turns leaving the restaurant to make or return phone calls.

Class Act.
