It's a discussion board with 0 impact on real life. His input outside of the board has been glorious, that's why he had the old threads whacked.

Meanwhile, some of the people on here talking shite are liking his posts all over instagram.

Not everyone here is talking shite and a lot of people here love his food. You can critique a business legitimately and not be talking shite. You know the difference right? A lot of people here have valid complaints, I'm not one of them, but they do exist. I'm just here for the lulz.

I can claim to have gone even back when it was Smokin’ Buddha BBQieux in Fat City, with burnt ends. He was a nut then too.

So you have been to CCBBQ ? Then you can see the difference in the quality of the product over the years. Got to give the man props he has improved his craft and it paid off.

You know you made it when you got haters

And a lot of people here complaining have never step foot in the place. It's one thing to critique a business you have patronized but to talk shite about something you have never experienced is bullshite.

---

You don't have to patronize it to critique some of it's practices that even you have verified to be true. Like the hours the product is available and price. That's all fair game and not talking shite. Those are probably the two biggest I have seen.

Getting haters is easy. Anyone can do it. I got a fair share of my own and I'm a nobody.

You can compare against competitors

Without trying the product, it's going to be a pretty terrible comparison.

There are fair criticisms that can be made depending on the person making them.

Without trying the product, you can't make a fair criticism. Sorry.

hows the parking around this spot?

You aren't rating the product, you are rating the price and other factors. People know a great brisket and what they want to pay for it. It's a completely fair criticism. It would be like weighing your choices in buying a phone, you may not own every phone out there, but price is a valid criticism when picking which one you will own.

By his assumption Manny Randazzo kingcakes are subpar because they aren't available when I want them go be.

---

When did I ever call his product subpar? You aren't rating the product, you are rating the price he wants for his product. It's valid. Some people are cheap and you need to learn to deal with that aspect. I don't personally have a problem with his pricing, but a person with more budget minded personality may see some faults in it.

There is really no need for this tangent, the reality is there is some fair criticism here. It's not all talking shite.

Without trying the product, your rating is meaningless. How do you not get that.

You can't say "it's too expensive" if you don't know how the actual product compares to its competition. Maybe he makes the best BBQ in the world, and it's deserving of the premium price. Maybe it's absolute dogshit and shouldn't even be given away for free. Either way, you don't have a clue if you haven't actually tried it.

How are you not getting this?

I'm not going to get too much into this part of the discussion but when there is a certain market saturation of a product you can start to see a ceiling as to what the consumer is willing to pay. That is regardless of vendor eval as long as the products are similar.

Because we aren't food critics, we are potential customers on a discussion forum. We aren't writing here professionally or anything. We are just discussing why we will or will not patronize a restaurant. I'd like to know if there is something I could do to get more butts in the seats if I am a restaurant. If you are turning people away because of price, that's a huge thing and should be welcomed information.

What is it you think you are doing in this thread?
