PrintKenny Shopsin Is the New Dr. Spock
That's Hodgman as in John Hodgman as in "And I'm a PC." As far as I know, Hodgman has no children. Which might be a good thing. I only hope that the "Mr. Rogers" he refers to here is Fred Rogers, not Kenny Rogers. Related: Eat Me: The Food and Philosophy of Kenny Shopsin

JH does have kids and is a great dad. Don't judge the man by his mac ads!

Kids? Really? I had no idea. There was no mention of family in his Wiki page, which is where I get all my information these days ;) Seriously, I figured there would be something in his Wiki about personal life/family, as most wiki entries on celebs have that info. Thanks, eleeb!

The first time I went to Shopsin's (original location), I was in a booth with the friend who brought me (and was a regular there).
A couple of Kenny's young children came and sat in the booth with us. Their noses were dripping; they had serious colds. It was rather disgusting, though it did reinforce the notion that Shopsin's was different than other dining establishments.
Perhaps my revulsion would not have run so deep had I had my own children at the time (as I do now), but it did mark for me the limit to which I am willing to trade hominess for cleanliness at the restaurants I like to visit.

I've had the good fortune to meet several of the Shopsin offspring and they are all really fine people. Sure they hung out in the restaurant sometimes -- Eve was a working mother with five kids, come on -- but they always had nice manners that I remember.
