- Johnson with her guitar. After 25 years at Molly’s, she says she’s as happy as she’s ever been and getting into music again.
“Did you see the flyer? It’s Saturday, motherfucker.” That’s Kelly Johnson, general manager of Molly’s La Casita, cordially inviting a patron to the big event on Saturday, December 12th, celebrating Johnson’s 25 years at the restaurant.
Johnson says, “I have a long history with Molly’s.” She worked at the original location on Lamar — which was opened by Molly Gonzales — back in the ’70s. That 25 number marks the day she began waiting tables at the Midtown restaurant on December 14th, 1984.
