-Caveat Lector- http://www.austin360.com/statesman/editions/tuesday/metro_state_4.html Austin American-Statesman Tuesday, June 5, 2001 Chuy's apologizes for calling 911 By Carter Nelsen American-Statesman Staff The owners of Chuy's restaurants in Austin are apologizing for the way their eatery on Barton Springs Road dealt with an alleged alcohol incident involving Jenna and Barbara Bush last week. Mike Young, who owns the Mexican food restaurants with John Zapp, said the Barton Springs staff mishandled the May 29 incident that led to misdemeanor citations against the twin daughters of President Bush. But Young said he understood why it happened the way it did. "Usually we wouldn't have handled this in the way it was handled," he said Monday. "With that said, these are very unusual circumstances. A packed restaurant with high-profile celebrities there puts a lot of pressure on your management team." The restaurant's owners have received "tons" of calls and e-mails about the incident, Young said. They run the gamut of opinions, he said, although many are supportive. "There's always some complaints -- it doesn't matter what you do," Young said. Mia Lawrence, the Chuy's manager who called 911 to report the alleged alcohol violations last Tuesday night, will stay with the company, Young said. Most of all, he said, Chuy's employees and customers would like the attention gained by the Bush incident to go away. "We want to get back to business as usual," Young said. "Out of respect to the president's family -- I would like to see this go away just for that." Jenna Bush was cited by Austin police Thursday on a charge of misrepresenting her age, while Barbara Bush was cited on a charge of being a minor in possession of alcohol. Both charges are Class C misdemeanors. A friend of the Bush twins, 20-year-old Jesse Day-Wickham, also was cited on a charge of being a minor in possession. Restaurants usually don't call police to report a suspected alcohol violation by a minor, said Capt. David Ball of the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission. And they rarely use 911. "That's the decision they have to make," Ball said of the manager's decision to call 911. "For your normal misrepresentation of age, it would be very unusual." The beverage commission still is investigating whether Barbara Bush and Day-Wickham presented identification that appeared valid enough to warrant serving them, Ball said. People who send e-mail about the Bush incident through the Chuy's Web site get a copy of a form letter dated June 1 in which Young and Zapp apologize for the events of May 29. "We realize that many of you are upset with the recent occurrence at our Barton Springs location, and we want you to know that we are too," Young and Zapp wrote in the message. The White House did not comment on the e-mail. Young and Zapp own two other Chuy's restaurants in Austin and one opening soon in Round Rock. The chain also has restaurants in San Antonio, Houston and Dallas. The two men also own the popular Hula Hut eatery on Lake Austin Boulevard and the Shady Grove Cafe on Barton Springs Road.
