Much of the crew at the restaurant also worked the morning breakfast shift at Windows on the World, the famed restaurant atop the North Tower. Up before dawn, these guys were at work cooking and serving breakfast before most of the city even stirred. Along with their late night shifts at the restaurant where I had met them, they often remarked that they never slept. Compared to the rest of us, they didn’t.
