Maurizio, who landed from Italy 25 years ago at the age of 15, found work as a Beantown busboy. Ten restaurants later, he was making a nice dollar as a waiter in the Italian North End. And then one night he gets off work with a few bucks in his pocket, along with the key chain his mother gave him, which says MIRACLES DO HAPPEN. He lights a smoke, buys a wad of lottery scratch tickets and hits one for a million bucks...
...final day of the first weekend of "Rock in Rio," the South American megaconcert that's taking place here Jan. 12-14 and Jan.18-21.

The tense relations between Ming and Robert (Jeremy Blocker '03), an ingenuous Caucasian waiter, are intercut with scenes of Oscar as he builds a new relationship with Daniel (William Adams '03), a sassy young diva-in-cargo-pants Filipino college student...
...late-blooming gourmet, Kuleto, 55, first got into the restaurant business through the service entrance. He started as a busboy, waiter and cook, then worked as a contractor. When business got slow, he offered to design some steak houses for free if the owner let him build them. Despite a lack of formal training, the burly carpenter had an intuitive feel for creating dramatic, bustling environments that complemented rather than competed with the food. By the time his '50s-style Fog City Diner (in his home base of San Francisco) caught critics' eyes in 1984, Kuleto had thrown away...
