From Joe: This was in today’s NY Daily News (6/23/03)
Billy Joel doesn’t usually dine with the maitre d’ at the restaurants he frequents, but he made an exception on Saturday. His girlfriend, Kate Lee, has signed on as hostess of Jeff and Eddie’s, the new Sag Harbor seafood joint owned by Jeff Resnick and and lawyer Eddie Burke Jr. Lee, 25, who had the night off, joined the 54-year-old Piano Man at a table with Jimmy Buffett, the bistro’s landlord.
Also from today’s NY Post: BILLY Joel’s girlfriend, Kate Lee, has herself a new summer job. The 25-year-old culinary student, who looks remarkably like Joel’s daughter Alexa, is now hostessing at Joel’s favorite new Sag Harbor restaurant, Jeff & Eddie’s. “Joel came in Saturday night with her and Jimmy Buffett,” our spy laughed. “She obviously wasn’t working that night, but how weird is that? He’ll come in and she’ll have to seat him.”
