And old show biz story that is rather well known is that Bob Hope would only dine in what were once called Tea Rooms. The last one of these I was ever in was in Highland Park, Texas and it was the celebration of a woman's novel release. Very formal and high-faluatin and very, very clean.

Hope knew people who died on the road from food poisoning and he did not wish to be one of them. Not every town had a first class eating joint, so he chose Tea Rooms since they were always the cleanest place in town.

This led to rumors that Hope was Gay, but he said he would rather people think what they would about him if the only other option was to wind up dead.
