Bonnie Lee Blakely's Last Meal...

Listen toots. The moon is blue and there is nothing you can do.
Vitello's restaurant was the place and one Robert Blake, famous for being Mickey in the Our Gang Little Rascal shorts and more so as Barretta, was dining with estranged wife Bonnie Lee Blakely. As fate would have it some rigmarole occurred and Bonnie Lee got it in the hat. Our man Mr. Blake when through millions in defense funds and a few months in the hoosegow before getting off on the crime and heading out to go "cowboying."

You know, cowboying? Heading out for a long drive before setting down in some dive. Playing pool with some Portuguese bar fly while downing shots of tequila.
Yet, Bonnie Lee wasn't all lily white here. Known con artist, she was probably making Blake's life a living hell to some degree. I'm uncertain that perhaps more than half of that hell was Blake's own engineering, but that's neither here or there. Bonnie was offed while Robert went back into Vitello's restaurant to look for his gun. Sad really. I mean, when I'm out dining with my wife, a 9mm keeps us company. You'd be surprised how attentive the matre'd and waiters are when you brandish a gun.

Anywho, Bonnie's last meal was typical Italian fare. She had:

Meat ravioli
Salad with blue cheese dressing
Iced tea


Robert dined on a delicious corkscrew pasta in garlic, olive oil, spinach & fresh tomatoes. Hell, they even named the dish after him as it shows up on the menu as, Fussilli e Minestra Alia Robert Blake.
The meal came to $18.45 sans tip, and the defense for offing your wife was at least 10 million.
Not sure if Blake tipped his lawyer. If not, he sure better.
