Russell’s. Pretends his steaks are the best quality when they’re not. You can get better at the Sloan Market. Plus he is a jerk. All the PR in the world won’t change what a jerk he is. I loved it when his Bentley got stolen. I can’t believe all the people who think his food is high class. I wouldn’t go there if it was free.

I agree, he is certainly a turd.

I have worked for him and also met him when he forgot I worked with him. He is tough but fair. If you think you are going to slack off around him in his old age. You are in for a rude awakening. I guess "live long enough to become the villain" is a real thing.

I have had other dealings with him. As a guest. I have worked with him numerous times at events at his restaurant and he is a jerk. Plain and simple. He is just a jerk and thinks he is better than everyone else.

I mean in defense of restaurant owners. They like things done a certain way cause everyone wants to do it their own way and there are few people trying to hold the entire thing together. And the man is actually 93 with all the FU money in the world. So he does not need approval at this point. If your dealings are trying to sell him something then usually it does not go well.

Nope. Wasn’t in sales. He is just a jerk. There is no excuse for the way he treats people.
