I worked for him in college. Complete a-hole in person. Think Gordan Ramsey style leadership in the kitchen.
Breaking news: Successful chef is an a-hole in the kitchen.
I’ve heard stories about Mike Anderson throwing oval serving trays at waitstaff like frisbees when they fricked up. During my restaurant years, I met very few EKM’s / exec chefs that weren’t assholes to work with.
I think it kind of comes with the territory of:
1. Working in a kitchen, which can be a brutal job/lifestyle that makes people cynical.
2. Having a long term career that requires you to constantly work with part time / short time employees.
Granted, when you get to a certain level of success, a lot of that goes away. But I think the mentality sticks with people and it turns into a bit of a vicious cycle in the industry.

This post is way too late…..
His recipes are trash compared to the Junior League of Lafayette collection or even The Times Picayune.

I bet mpdph wouldn't even taste JF's Cathead Gumbo. mpdph is not an a-hole to people behind the scenes.

that was likely his son, he has a bit of an anger problem and its very well documented in public records

No those stories were definitely about Mike Senior, back in the day.
I don’t doubt that the same shite applies to Mike Jr., though.

Someone told me a story they worked at white oak and he was there for an event or something like that and he found this old paddle outside and people started asking him about it and he was like oh this was my great grandpa's paddle for his pirogue etc. basically just made up some BS but everyone that worked at white oak knew he was full of shite lol.
Don't go to the Myrtles Plantation in St. Francisville. You will be vey upset that the story they tell, about all the ghost an all, isn't actually true.

Bruh, 20 years ago, standard tips were only like 10% back then. You're bashing him for giving the same as EVERYONE else gave for tips back then.
