Odd you pick that and not all the hate they've gotten over the years for being anti gay. Almost as if you only focus on examples that make your point

It's kind of a big deal, no?

As long as you ignore the counterpoint, I guess.

I don't know that they were anti gay. They just didn't go along. But the latest is what matters most and that guy was way off in the statements I posted.

Dude what? Maybe sit the conversation out if you have no clue about Chick Fil A or what Cowbell was

I don’t think you’re in the business, so i won’t say that you are jealous. But genuinely curious as to the root of your bitterness.

My original post was not about local restaurants, rather the inability of the right to put their principles first.

As for Chick Fil A...
quote:

The release didn’t outright say the biggest change to Chick-fil-A’s philanthropic giving plan: In 2020, the chain won’t give any money to charities that take anti-LGBTQ stances. In an interview with real estate publication Bisnow, however, Chick-fil-A’s president and CEO Tim Tassopoulos made it clear that the company’s new donation strategy is at least partly related to the constant backlash Chick-fil-A has faced over its donations.

The left doesn't do it either. Everyone is full of shite and uses businesses that still provide them useful products or entertainment I'm not wasting any more time trying to explain it to you.

I’ve never had a bad meal at Turkey and the Wolf and I’d say every meal I’ve had there was great or at least good.

As to the show, it’s a fine dining by competition and he intentionally doesn’t do fine dining. He was on because he’s as popular a chef as there is outside of TV Personalities.

Would love to see him in Chopped.

Bitterness? Sorry if speaking the truth is comes off as bitterness.

Like I said, he puts out good food. His location and menu would have had him shut down if he hadn't bought his press as "best new restaurant"

He is an instagram ready restaurant that people hold as something more than it is.

Yet, the alphabet mafia and the complicit media failed to note even one example of anyone who was gay being denied service or employment. All that they had was their support of Christian charities that were said to be "anti-gay."

Also, in the aftermath of the PULSE gay nightclub mass murders in Orlando, only one company stepped up to offer free food and drinks to surviving victims, their families, blood donors and EMS personnel. Care to guess who that was? Here's a hint...it wasn't Popeyes.

Lester doesn't perceive you as the typical idiot trump supporter that's beneath him so he's confused you're not in here bowing down to turkey and the wold and defending them.

That place being best new restaurant in America was laughable at best

You are definitely bitter, for whatever reason.


How did he buy press?

Maybe my biterness is because it overshadowed the actual best new restaurant in the city, Primitivo.

RIP

Maybe he will think I am a liberal for giving Adolfo some love.

Wow.

Never heard of the place.

Hired a PR agency to go around to all the magazines hyping the restaurant before it even opened. Bought press. Bought hype.

Personally, nice guy. Treats his people well. What you see on TV is what he is.
