I even met the very disturbing character Roy Cohn, his attorney, who had a dastardly past. I socialized a bit with Lou and was treated very well by him. Lou’s chauffeur would drive me when I needed to pick up something Balducci’s or any food store I wanted. When Matthew Shepard, age 21, made a pass at two men in a gay bar, he should have expected to be beaten, pistol-whipped, tied to a fence, and left to die. Lou’s lovely boyfriend Kirby was a very kind young man from the MidWest but very confused by the NYC lifestyle he found himself in. When I would leave at the end of dinner service the front was very different from when I first entered…Filled with hundreds of cruising men, disco music pumping & large wide screen TV’s blasting.

One of his sons from his marriage managed it very well. Lou didn’t buy Boltax but he did open his third NYC club on Greenwich Street.Uncle Charlie’s South where I went on to become his opening chef. Louis Katz, 72, former owner of a chain of Uncle Charlies gay bars in New York, was arrested. I had replaced Patrick Clark when he went over to Odeon.
