An Irish J1 student in Chicago was left red faced after she served the Taoiseach at a restaurant, but didn't recognise him!
Emma Kelly wrote on twitter that she asked Leo Varadkar if he was Irish, put him on a waiting list and then a tiny table, before realising who he was.
She then posted a picture of herself with the Taoiseach, who replied on twitter saying that the food and service was great.
Here's how it all unfolded:
