Star moment: It’s not easy going up to a celebrity at a restaurant. You don’t want to interrupt dinner, and it’s awkward finding the right moment to approach the table. Even celebrities themselves have a hard time approaching another star’s table, as was the case when Jamie Foxx and the cast of “Glee” dined at Sunda in June. “Neither said hi to the other, but each talked a lot about how they were fans of the other,” Sunda co-owner Billy Dec recalled in an email. “They wanted to say hi but didn’t want to interrupt. I ended up feeling like a matchmaker.””
Sunda Mentioned on People.com for Glee Cast Dinner
People.com mentioned Sunda and The Underground for Glee Cast sighting.
From the article:
The cast of Glee blew through Chicago as part of their live tour, and when the gang wasn’t on stage, they were out on the town- dining. The entire ensemble- including Lea Michele, Dianna Agron, Cory Monteith, and Chord Overstreet- acted like one big happy family as they ate sashimi and enjoyed sake at hotspot Sunda. The next night, the group skipped a formal dinner outing, but half of them headed to The Underground, where they danced the night away.
