“Did you see the flyer? It’s Saturday, motherfucker.” That’s Kelly Johnson, general manager of Molly’s La Casita, cordially inviting a patron to the big event on Saturday, December 12th, celebrating Johnson’s 25 years at the restaurant.

Johnson says, “I have a long history with Molly’s.” She worked at the original location on Lamar — which was opened by Molly Gonzales — back in the ’70s. That 25 number marks the day she began waiting tables at the Midtown restaurant on December 14th, 1984.
