Turkey and the wolf guy is on iron chef. No idea where to post this.

Some in the food board said the restaurant was soooo overrated.

Some feel a certain way about him because of his because of his far far far left politics.

But it’s a new Netflix show that People like

If you like overpaying for a limited menu of mediocre sandwiches……it’s awesome.

It is. In a town with such great food, an okay fried bologna sandwich, cabbage salad, Duke’s mayonnaise, and soft serve isn’t getting the job done.

It’s over-the-top. When walking in, you’re blasted with it. It’s confusing. You’re there to just order a sandwich, not aligning with or making some political statement.

Sounds like he is limiting his customer base. He won’t last long unless BLM subsidizes him.

It’s a restaurant in Nola. There is an unlimited supply of mouth breathers to support it

I would not want to financially support such nonsense. Plus I have a perfectly fine sammich maker at home.

I feel like his 78 probably should have been even lower but he was first and I’m sure Netflix was like don’t score the leftie too harshly.

He clearly had no business being up there when you look at his offerings compared to all the others.

Yea he was better on chopped or like cut throat kitchen.

This version of iron chef was a mixed bag, they had to get new iron chefs as I’m sure the others all have food network deals. Then they clearly shoehorned Samuelson in, who easily made the second worst dishes on the show behind ole Nola boy.

They also had a string of shite guest judges and then boom Wolfgang and Mosimoto.

Netflix needs to do a better job on these type of shows of getting better guest judges.

People always say dumb shite like this and it's never true. This is your fantasy, not reality. Go woke, go broke isn't real.

This frickin' guy knows who his customer base is and it's not the white, conservative suburban male. Shitting on MAGA or conservatism creates business for him. It doesn't repel it.

Well when you consume as much soy as uptown New Orleans folks do then this guys shite probably taste good.

He was so severely outclassed by everyone on the show.

I do agree though at least in part go woke go broke doesn’t exist in Nola. It’s a woke city so he will do just fine.

It does exist in other areas but just not the food scene in the shite hole Nola.

Not to mention how awful the lack of "SERVICE" is.

I have no idea who we’re talking about, but based on that, I have to assume the owner is white, and racked with white guilt.


Hard pass
