What you he means is:

I have no idea how to run a business so I decided to make son Daniel's inheritance (around $250K) and promptly flush it down the toilet. I also know that Yelp is a part of a huge conspiracy against my shitty overpriced burgers. I have to get going and buy my crazy wife some more Prozac so please come back when you get a chance.

I hear someone "forgot" to share the stinky buns... O_o

Coughlin's Law + the sausage patties w/ cavalo nero + the citrus salad would be a very interesting way to start a Saturday morning.

This looks incredible! But it's so far! Wah!

2011-11-22T13:27:24.757-08:00

Of course, I also watched the Burger Kitchen episode of "Kitchen Nightmares," and, even after all of my experiences with them, I was still shocked by what I saw (including a speechless Gordon Ramsay). Post-viewing, I'm sure that all of the Yelp attacks were Alan's doing. Psycho. I was asked to participate in the Yelp segment, but it didn't seem worth it to have to deal with this mess again.

Thanks to all for reading and commenting!

2011-11-20T01:58:31.577-08:00

Oh, and one more thing. I don't know why the owners would even be concerned with reviews in the manner they have been. As the guy from the Foundry said – some people will like your food, and some will not. Yelp and other such sites are used for your feedback to improve your restaurant. Arguing with someone who says that they have had a bad experience or that they didn't like their food and using "We have had nothing but great reviews" or making other excuses for such reviews is so inane – it's like arguing with someone who says they don't like the flavor of apples and saying that "everyone else likes the flavor of apples." Doesn't make any sense at all.

2011-11-20T01:55:19.740-08:00

Wow. This is absolutely insane. I just watched both parts to the "Burger Kitchen" episode on Hulu. Is it really Daniel who actually posted in the comments here and on Yelp? Or did Alan do it in Daniel's name? If Daniel actually did it, then that's a shame that Kitchen Nightmares led everyone to believe that poor Daniel was the one who was suffering and such. For some reason, I just kind of get the impression or the feeling that maybe Alan was doing it in Daniel's name. Daniel just seemed to be a little brighter than Alan, and at least on the show he seemed to kinda be in reality. Also, I noticed that on Yelp, Alan was posting under Gen's name.

Speaking of that – did anyone else get the impression that Alan and Gen were just... a few trees short of a forest? They just seemed like they were not really in there. Like they were completely clueless, oblivious, and not very intelligent people. Like every time they were asked a question, they just kinda had this deer in the headlights look as if they had no clue they were in reality.

Can anyone confirm that Daniel actually wrote the comments here on this blog and also elsewhere? If so, I don't feel one bit of sorry for him after all. So tacky, so classless. I mean, tacky and classless even if Alan wrote them, but I'd be doubly disappointed if Daniel legitimately wrote them.

Also, for the record, I think Alan is a total douchebag for taking Daniel's money without his permission to open this restaurant. What a self-centered, disgusting thing to do.

Yeah, that's my two cents.

2011-11-19T12:12:31.349-08:00

I watched the Kitchen Nightmares episode and then I read these and after feeling bad for Daniel its just odd that he would get mad at his dad for not listening to the customers when he was also busy attacking food critics.

2011-11-09T22:09:39.081-08:00

It's funny- my wife an I watched the episode tonight from home (Vancouver, BC) and actually thought Alan and Gen were the whacked out ones. I felt for Daniel. After reading his reply to your posts it's clear that both Daniel and Alan were involved with responding to blogs.

I think if Alan and Gen were 500 yards away at all times this could have worked. Hope Daniel takes his own advice when trying to get his point to his father in the theatre- the reviews on blogs, yelp, urban spoon etc are there to help you improve.

I have an iPhone and I post my reviews on urban spoon all the time when we go for dinner and leave a candid non personal attack.

If anyone can shed light on this establishment if it's still run by Daniel... I love Chef Ramsay an I would hate for this family to make him look bad after the endorsement he gave Daniel.

I heard that the delusional Saffrons could not keep the joint and it is now under new management. Don't know if it's true, I'll have to wait to next Friday to find out.

Some people should not go into the restaurant business, especially those who cannot take criticism like grown ups.
And I'm Jewish too.
Oh btw here's a nice article about the Saffrons:
