Was lucky enough to bump into Yogi and Carmen at some charity events. I was going back and forth to St. Louis a lot at the time on business and asked him where I should eat on The Hill. He gave me the name of a great old school red sauce joint. I dragged a bunch of people there and Yogi's picture was on every wall 4 times. I specifically ordered the friend ravioli that he reccomended. Sort of a mid west thing that you don't see a whole lot on the east coast. Was so cool being there with a recommendation from the man himself.
He, Carmen, Dale, Michael (I think) and the entire family were extraordinarily generous with local charities. Just great people.
