Well, he forgot and deserved a single 1-star review, but he banned vegans because they started to barrage his page with 1-star reviews while not eating at the restaurant.


Which is also shitty of them. I have absolutely no issue with him banning vegans. I’m just not inclined to view him as some folk hero who deserves a bunch of artificial outside support. He fricked up, he found out (a little bit), then unfricked things the best he could. I’m honestly not even sure why this made international news

Vegetarians and people who really try to eat healthy are one thing, and completely cool but this vegan shite is ridiculous. Number 1, frick U. Number 2, there is almost no way in hell you can get a completely vegan meal at any commercial restaurant in America. Number 3, frick U

A large amount of people think vegans are annoying, so they're happy to provide him with support.

A large amount of people think vegans are annoying. News stories are successful based on clicks/reads. Do the math.

A lot of times the choices are between the lesser of two evils. And while I agree with you on this situation, I also believe that the chef is the lesser of two evils in this case.


How is he the lesser of two evils? He lied to a customer he could make them a vegan meal and then got mad they left him a well deserved 1 star review.

The guy is playing victim b/c he got called out for being a liar.

The guy can ban whoever he wants but if all the one star reviews were without comment how does he know it has to do with her review?

I don't disagree with this.

We went on a company wide trip a couple of weeks ago. We have 1 pescatarian and 1 person who has religious dietary needs, both of which are easy as hell because they just order seafood or vegetarian regular items like salads/pizza/sandwiches/etc. everywhere we go.

However, one employee is a vegan and he lives in the middle of NYC where he's accustomed to endless options. I did the restaurant planning for our trip, which was in a small conservative Texas town, and it was a ton of extra work.

Hours into dealing with planning to accommodate him everywhere, I was definitely like "frick vegans" In his defense, he is not a foodie at all and kept assuring me he is totally happy fending for himself. I just felt bad not at least trying so he was included.

I am not a vegan, could never be a vegan, but how can you ban a vegan? They can come in, order a dish and eat everything that is not meat... And boom.. A vegan just snuck in.

Because frick vegans?

He fricked up and got a 1 star review. Then other vegans who hadn't even eaten there started spamming his pages with 1 star reviews, so he banned them from eating there.

He fricked up and got what he deserved. The rest of the 1 star reviews were uncalled for, hence he's the lesser of two evils. But he's not the good guy either.

He did the right thing in the face of ratings, which are stupid because of the idiots who knowing target businesses with lies. Hard working business owners shouldn't have to put up with that garbage.
