He told Delish that Lori’s friend, “had been let go from the restaurant, and they weren’t supposed to be there. I was talking to her friend and saying ‘Hey, listen, wait a few weeks before you come in,’ and standing behind her is this blue-eyed, blonde girl giving me this mean mug.”

“I knew as soon as I saw her. I just knew.”
