Why Valet Parking is an Essential Part of the Restaurant Experience - SFA

The short film Lawrence of Atlanta follows Lawrence Njuguna, an Atlanta-based valet parker who has worked with some of the city’s best chefs. Njuguna is originally from Nairobi, but he’s lived in Georgia for over 13 years.

I wish all valet guys were saints like him. Most of them are crooks, but this guy sounds genuine.

Only in the restaurant industry does the American Dream really thrive. Show up, give 110%, and you WILL move up. You just gotta want it.

[@brianaguirre1]

This was such a great video

[@bobs_]

Good video Eater, may I just suggest the adding of either subtitles or closed captioning for those who may not be able to understand the accent (non native speakers etc.)

[@alvinromo9967]

Billy Smith I understood him perfectly.

[@ibrah9962]

Billy Smith you are a troll. I can understand him

[@CplConundrum]

Being from Britain, I never understood a parking valet service. How much of a rush is everybody in that they don't have time to park their car before eating?

[@joyjoyoo]

kafajagig it's not about time though rather the service

[@hondaissace]

its mainly done in high end restaurants and hotels.. where rich people go. they dont give a fuck about the money, they care about the experience.

[@hegzia]

kafajagig if you live in a large city parking can be a near impossible due to lack of free spaces I've literary hunted for 40+ minutes for spots downtown in Washington DC.

[@nomnomnomnom8238]

He's a fan of the sesh then

[@Tec-fv2xb]

Can't be that hard. Just pretend to be nice in front of the customers then be assholes and abuse their cars when you go down the block.

[@joyjoyoo]

I don't trust some valet though. They take cars for joyrides.

[@despaahana]

that lisp tho!

[@daveotuwa5596]

Lawrence is a Kenyan native like the parents of Donald Trump's predecessour.
