Taco Bill chief executive Tom Kartel urged diners to get creative as the most entertaining story would win.
“Syd Heylen, an Australian character actor, comedian and variety performer who became well known during the 1960s on television as a regular performer on the Channel 7 variety show Sunnyside Up and later as ‘Cookie’ on A Country Practice, often visited Taco Bill on his performing trips to Melbourne,” Mr Kartel said.
“One evening, when dining with a friend and having possibly consumed too many adult beverages, he discovered he’d left his wallet behind and couldn’t pay for the meals.
“Syd’s solution was to leave his dentures, which he had removed and placed on the counter, as collateral until he could return the next day to settle his bill.
“The manager promptly told Syd he could keep his teeth and fix up his account on his next visit!”
