Story[]
Sniffy's Tavern is Luke's personal haunt where he comes for dinner or breakfast, whenever he has time. Lorelai refers to it as "Luke having a Luke's". The owners, Maisy and Bertram, are a sort of surrogate family to Luke, as Maisy is his late mother's friend from school and Buddy helped Luke with opening his own business. When Luke brings Lorelai to the Tavern, she reads the story of the place on the back of the menu, but doesn't finish it as their drinks arrive and the date begins. Below is the part she manages, which ends on rather a cliffhanger.
- If it makes you feel better, Sniffy was 150,000 years old
