is it bad that i want to patronize sammich and smokehouse bc they arent succumbing to the threat of negative internet reviews


Wasn't crazy about Sammich but I do want to try the chicken livers.

Smokehouse has some very good food. Short of the owner trying to fist fight me I'll continue to eat there.

What do they do with chicken livers? Some kind of different dish? Or just fried chicken livers?

This thread is 22 pages because it is totally right.


In his defense it has brought attention to his restaurant that doesn't get tons of hype on this board.

Only negative is a couple people that have never been, and likely weren't going, saying they will not go.

Dont believe trolls on this board. Lies lies lies trying to hurt NOLA Small biz. #Dumb


Truly, you can't be this dumb can you? This board has long been a forum where small businesses by far win out over national chain restaurants in mentions, reviews, and recommendations. But nice job trying to treat Nola residents as insignificant internet trolls. Your petulance is apparent.

It's not as if this just manifested itself out of thin air. The Yelp reviews were tame and pretty standard. The owner of Sammich deliberately sought a confrontation.


Right

The OP openly admitted to not addressing the issue in person after learning about The Sammich's owner's transgressions on Yelp, instead choosing to leave a partially negative review on Yelp which obviously was going to draw out the owner to respond (she didnt know he would!), then starts a thread bringing attention to how much of an "a-hole" the owner is on a public message board. Owner attempts to contact OP directly, he says he couldnt (attempts to post a screenshot), she says he's lying and he can.

Who deliberately sought a confrontation? OP or owner?

Not trying to defend either one of these guys' tactfulness on the internet, but i would be lying if I said it bothered me enough not to patronize their establishments. The sooner they learn not to say anything, the better off they will be.

I don't expect you to understand since you are obviously validated by being on some expert's list and so affected by negative comments.

It's funny that some on this site think you are some big man for not caring what people think. To anyone with any vision, the insecurity is out there on your sleeve.

Your Q may be the best. I don't know. I do know I'm trusting people here more than some list no matter how big the "expert."

Eh, I'm still on the fence.

I was going to make it out there, but him making an arse of himself has me wavering a bit.

Did the owner of Sammich call a person on Yelp "an idiot" before or after niknik's thread? I'll wait..

I'm on team Sammich & Smokehouse. The trolling has impressed me enough to want to eat at your fine establishments


If they are as dedicated to trolling as they are to cooking, then their food will be a success.

Nice to meet you, Rob. As the owner of the highly acclaimed and board favorite, Peche, I'd like to offer my condolences. As a sign of good faith, please feel free to stop in any time for a round of chicken fingers and hush puppies on the house.

All it would take is for someone who is offended enough to take these screenshots of the insulting comments to WWL or Nola.com or something like that for it to blow up. The older folks who follow those sites love to comment and share stuff like this.

Maybe when it came down to it, it wouldn't really affect business. But who wants to take that chance? There's a reason employees of restaurants have been fired over responding to Yelp comments.. or for posting shitty tips .. etc. I imagine a good business owner wouldn't want to take the chance on the consequences that could come from bitching to their customers online.

He is nice and cordial IRL.

This site has the tendency to be on the attack, especially if the person is known. His name was brought up in this thread long before the FB post or him showing up.

His first response was cordial, then people went on the troll. (Yes, proper use of the term)

If anyone gets offended by this, then they should be openly mocked in the SJW thread on the OT.

Yea let's have more business owners start threads that we're all from Baton Rouge trolling to ruin the little guy in Nola.
