After 11 years, Chili's welcomed Pam Beesly, the adorable receptionist of "The Office," back to its restaurants. 

In a 2006 episode of the long-running NBC series, Beesly, portrayed by actress Jenna Fischer, was banned from the Scranton, Pa., restaurant after she fell off a barstool during an office party.

Brinker International, the parent company of Chili's, issued this press release: 

Effective immediately, Chili's Grill & Bar has removed the longstanding ban on a Scranton, Pennsylvania woman who allegedly caused a disturbance during a company awards party held at a Chili's near the Pennsylvania town of Scranton.

The woman, Pam Beesly Halpert, received a prestigious award for having the whitest sneakers in the company.

After thanking her shoes and coworkers, the woman declared, "I feel God in this Chili's tonight."

"After reviewing the good conduct of Pam, I have decided to lift the now 11-year ban," said Kelli Valade, President of Chili's. "Pam is an inspiration to many and we welcome her with open arms."
