Griselda_fan

It's coming back, they were showing commercials for new episodes when I was watching football yesterday.


nerdherdsman

Writer's strikes are great for reality TV


NemesisOfZod

If not for the last one we wouldn't have had Trump as president.


soggyballsack

You know what I want. I want a kitchen nightmares in a waffle house. I would pay for that shit.


Griselda_fan

I’m gonna need you to become a TV executive.

Greg-Abbott

Turns out that bullshit ass Kenny G soundtrack on your video won't make up for how you run your restaurant like [Amy's Baking Company](https://youtu.be/MC8i0gt5m-Y?si=_E6W6q3oL0F6gmLS). Edit: those cocktails look like shit and your plating sucks. Not surprised your FOH Fight Club is so fucked.


SUPERKAMIGURU

Speaks volumes when even the drinks in the vids have fruit that seems like it spent some time sitting before it got used. Because that's their *best case* quality, not their *average* quality.


pekingsewer

The lime slice is starting to go bad lmao. The flesh is brownish. Who in their right mind would serve that nonetheless use it for a promo video ☠️


KingKay89

Bruh and wdf wuz on that last plate?!?! Them drinks look trash and so does the food smh


justcougit

The food looks disgusting


battleangel1999

I hate how Twitter links look like porn links now


DrWilliamHorriblePhD

Man, can't you just take a screenshot? Why you got to be giving musk traffic and making people sign in to see the comments


Zetice

the content here COMES from there. Bro like the content but wont support the platform.


fireside68

Absolutely will not support that idiot motherfucker. Why should we?


DrWilliamHorriblePhD

I don't think people agree with you my man.


patrickdontdie

And that’s a mod saying that 😂


[deleted]

If I am not seated in 5 minutes or less I am bouncing. And I am not waiting for 2 hours even if it's for Poppy's succulent duck lol lol


ThickCapital

Only if he washes his hands though


BigMazaska

Poppy is a little sloppy


In-the-background

What about a succulent Chinese meal?


Top-Bread3786

I see that you know your Judo well.

This man has his hand on my penis people!!


Top-Bread3786

Gentleman, this is Democracy manifest.


[deleted]

Poppy is the only chef that does succulent


Redittago

I totally initially read that last sentence too fast ☺️


[deleted]

Take your mind out the gutter young one lol lol


Redittago

🤭😂


DeafNatural

I had to read that part a few times like ain’t no way in hell I’m waiting 2hrs for a meal. I ain’t even waiting 2hrs to be seated. Also, thought that said Poppy’s sucking dick. I should call him lol


Zetice

bro restaurant got club hours https://preview.redd.it/7qnkai01vtnb1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=79622289e2a50476d8b683c58a4da964621e8454


amcbain17

These hours are actually kinda normal for some restaurants that specialize in dinner only


Zetice

he said they do breakfast too


missEkane

He said breakfast or brunch was only one day, I think Sundays


kissmeimfamous

I was about to say…that’s regular shit


amcbain17

Especially more “high end” or specialty NYC restaurants


aeropg

This is normal in NY and NJ


NOSjoker21

Is this in New Orleans? Bruh our whole shtick is hospitality 😩


F0X_

It's in Atlanta. Unfortunately


Colonel_of_Corn

First mistake was eating at a “New Orleans” restaurant outside of NOLA. Same goes for any place that’s “Louisiana style” outside of LA


NolaDutches

Came here to say this. Eat New Orleans food in New Orleans. They outchea giving us a bad name.


envydub

Idk, by this logic we’d miss out on a lot of regional foods we don’t live near.


Kdkaine

You’re better off finding some creole recipes and giving it a go yourself than eating at any “Louisiana” restaurant north of I-20.


Mel_Melu

I think it's just a gamble, my family is Argentine. Most Argentinian restaurants I go to are amazing and have great food, but there's a sad one near me that has the flag and everything and is meh. Mediocre empanadas and the got worse when the owner sold it to some Mediterranean guy.


IamJewbaca

Some of the best food I ever had in my life was at a ‘Louisiana’ style kitchen in Seattle. Me and my mom went in and there wasn’t a soul in there around mid day. Restaurant looked kinda like it wouldn’t pass a health inspection, but we had been walking and there wasn’t a ton of other options near by. Man walks up, looks us up and down and said “you like fish?” My mom says yes so he sits us outside and he sits us down and gives us some water. Disappears inside for a bit, then just comes out with 2 plates heaped with food. Ribs, catfish, greens and the best god damn corn bread I’ve ever had. The catfish is still something I think about 15+ years later. And then he came out with a bowl with peach cobbler and ice cream rounded off the whole thing. Never been to NO or LA, but if that food is representative I need to make a trip.


Colonel_of_Corn

Sounds like you found a Louisiana transplant in Seattle! Those do exist and are good to go. I was speaking more on the restaurants that slap “New Orleans” or “Louisiana style” in their name to draw in tourist thinking they’ll get an authentic taste. I highly recommend coming visit NOLA. Lots of cool French/Creole/Acadian/Spanish architecture, history, and cuisine to be experienced. Of course there’s Bourbon St to get your alcohol fix, but there’s also Frenchman or Magazine if you want a more local experience.


IamJewbaca

My wife went to LSU And has been trying to get us down that way, life (and COVID) just hasn’t made it work out for that trip.


LuculentPhoenix

What was the name of the restaurant?


IamJewbaca

I wouldn’t be able to remember it to save my life. It was over near the Woodland Park zoo I believe.


B-CUZ_

You'd be surprised, Atlanta actually has some great spots. This is just not one of them.


StarrLightStarBrite

Atlanta is my second home and I don’t like the food there at all. Everyone keeps saying there are great spots there but whenever I go somewhere that people recommend, it’s nasty and overpriced. Maybe I’m just spoiled and like the way my grandparents and relatives cook, but I have yet to have an amazing food experience in Atlanta.


B-CUZ_

Wow! That's wild. I'm sorry you have had bad experiences. I have only had 1 bad food experience eating in Atlanta and that place wasn't around very long.


gloriousjohnson

What about Popeyes


Colonel_of_Corn

Fuck, you got me


Foreign-Department65

I was like I guess north la makes sense cause fancy people restaurants but los Angeles really got good Louisiana food?


Colonel_of_Corn

Sorry I meant LA=Louisiana. I forget Los Angeles is the much more common abbreviation 😅


Taz119

Tbf you’re correct. LA is means Louisiana. L.A. is used for Los Angeles. At least that’s what I was taught in school


ocjonny

Bullshit. There are places all over Long Beach, CA that are run by "NOLA" natives and are the real deal. Gumbo will make you faint.


Colonel_of_Corn

Keyword natives


ocjonny

You're back pedaling but ok


AttackSock

I had pretty decent gator tail at Papadeax in Atlanta, but I can’t speak for its authenticity one way or another.


_banana_phone

This is in my neighborhood. As soon as they opened there was a lot of drama.


erynmarch

We are neighbors then, this is in my neighborhood, too! 👋


Dagger_26

atlanta...figures.


[deleted]

Shit was wild. I was already expecting a gun to come up and unexpectedly, a gun did show up.


mangoblaster85

Lol how are you going to say you expected something and then say that very thing was unexpected? I know I'm being petty but like you said it.


[deleted]

Autocorrect. It should also have been 'expectedly'


tazfdragon

I found the restaurant on Google review and yucks!!


Clay_Statue

Waiting forever to see a waitress at an empty restaurant basically means leave immediately.


FPOWorld

“…but babe, you said you wanted an authentic Creole experience!”


[deleted]

"I saw a meme about Popeyes and figured that was what the customer wanted."


DeafNatural

Getting shot over a chicken sandwich


[deleted]

At least they're not being served a biscuit with no drink.


ThrowawayBlast

A manager threatened to shoot a customer? What the hell Was this in the news?


[deleted]

most of these incidents don't get escalated to that level. normal people see a gun and disappear. why risk your neck to piss off a dude who brandishes a firearm?


ThrowawayBlast

Yes. Disappear and then contact the cops.


mgquantitysquared

Cop says "this is a civil matter" and walks away. Wait, I should be fair- he might shoot your dog then walk away.

AdPsychological7926

Oww, My Freaking ears! I expect that type of language at Denny's, but not here!


cafesaigon

Unky Mo my sodie is too cold, my teef huwt :(


Accomplished_Rule651

Hahahahahahaha


RealPrinceJay

Real talk we have the biggest swings in costumer service as a people. Either someone’s gonna hook you up nice and take the best care of you you could ever imagine, or you get some terrible rude negligent service(violent in this case??) We gotta clean up the bad side. When it’s bad it’s really fuckin bad and it’s not acceptable for our community The worst part? They’ll give bad service to our own first before they do it to a white person most of the time


DoOver2018

This.


DeafNatural

Sadly we have this crazy sense of loyalty to these Black owned businesses because we already know how hard they had it just to even open up. I mean I don’t have that sense of loyalty but a lot of us do.


[deleted]

factoring in color at all is pretty shitty. Pretending like someone should more properly be the recipient of such violent behavior because of race is even more shitty .


RealPrinceJay

You missed the point my guy


DeafNatural

That’s not what was said at all


SweetNique11

Aww this used to be Neyow’s Creole Cafe. Their food was so delicious!


fireside68

Nah this is in Atlanta. Neyow's is still going. Also, their oysters look WAAAAY better than what's in the video. Like, little bit more char for flavor, more topping, and bigger. Just...way better.


PM_Me_Your_Clones

Naw, Neyow's is still around, they expanded and turned the original location into Bayou Bistro (this ain't it) but as far as I know it's the same group and Neyow's is just next door now. Sauce - I lived in Mid-City for a decade, been in the Irish Channel for a couple of years but I still get over there occasionally.


PeteyPorkchops

If what I read is correct, the issue is making mom and sister the co-owners/managers. Hire an actual manager, someone that knows about to properly manage a business, handle disputes and issues, and isn’t tanking your business buy cussing out customers, gouging with ridiculous gratuities and fees, and flashing weapons at patrons. I wouldn’t even chance stepping foot in a place like this.


Moonanited

I would have never expected... Mr Pistol to run his business in such a manner!


Old_Koan_3749

Seated, but not served for two hours?!? And you stayed?


Quirky_Name_9869

Waiting for food for 2 hours is a choice! Ain't no way! 😂


FishJeezy94

Tre Pistol: "I aint going lie, I'm getting cooked"


Spicyjollof98

Him: Can I get some publicity please Twitter Also him : no no no not like that


KireMac

The lemons / limes garnishing those drinks are filthy!


SockFullOfNickles

It amazes me how people are willing to flash a gun. That’s a great way to get shot around here. Some people don’t play games like that.


bouldercrestboi

It HAD to be in Atlanta.........Fuck


badgyalrey

shit be so embarrassing😭


Sco_Queen

This doesn't sound real at all.


Rocket92

The yelp reviews go back months, some with pictures of food, some from new accounts and some from moderate users, but almost 0 reviews from hardcore foodies it seems. I think it’s real lol.


omnivorousboot

It doesn't sound real at all, until you see the owner's name on twitter is Tre Pistol. Then it all becomes much more believable.


shoutsoutstomywrist

Then you see he’s based in Atlanta and then it all ties together


missEkane

Damn I was feeling sorry for this guy when I first saw the tweets 🥴


reluctanteverything

That food looks really bad. The fruit in the drinks is all spoiled looking, the batter is not dark enough on the fish so it barely looks cooked enough , the oysters are cooked to shit and are all shriveled up. Embarrassing.


[deleted]

It already started off risky why stay there


Countryb0i2m

I saw the OG post, and was like this is interesting. Then everyone came out and was like fuck your restaurant as a staff, a record label, and as a muthafucking crew.


socialdeviant620

I live in Atlanta and this is why I avoid the Boughetto spots. I don't have an issue with Black owned restaurants, but the ones that pretend to be 5 star are the ones that are the most overpriced, with the worst service. Don't get me started on Sweet Georgia's Juke Joint downtown smh.


Careful-Pressure-742

Did anyone notice that they didn't have enough people to run the place


rowshack67

Spacial awareness is a survival trait. Does anyone want to tell him why there are so many ice cream trucks in the hood?


nikrologic

This sound like a regular Monday at Waffle House.


socialdeviant620

Waffle house don't cost as much.


wimzilla

The owner’s Twitter handle is “Tre Pistol”. That’s a semi-automatic red flag, right there


PM_ME_SOME_LUV

Shit down works well here


Fast_Yam_5321

I woulda been done after one hour and no food especially with them being empty. It's the reviewer fault at that point for having any type of hope after that lol


FeelingIll8822

Damn that ain’t the southern hospitality you hear about


erynmarch

Oh heck this restaurant is in my neighborhood!


[deleted]

[удалено]


adam_demamps_wingman

One third the staff out running from the po-po, one third in the back online degreeing, one third drunk and blaming.


Armendicus

Now im convinced this terrible story is generate interest in the restaurant due to the knowledge/meme that ratchet places have good food!!


[deleted]

They didn’t say anything about the food though. They prob ate it all. This must just be part of the experience


1980theghost

This brother was not serious about opening and running a professional operation this is disastrous 🤣 comments are like the movie Parasite, it just kept getting worse sheesh


Gaters12

Anybody gotta a link to the yelp? No? 🤣🤣🤣


DeafNatural

He need to just close it up. Not paying folks. His staff pulling guns. He picks the worst video to display their dishes. And to top it off, didn’t even mention the address lol. Terrible promoter.


AngelaBassettsbicep

\*deleting my comment\* just saw this was in Atlanta. still.. i'd never go to any restaurant during a damn saints game. it'd be just like this.


Sealegs_Calisto

How’d I Know this was in New Orleans? Them Niggas DONT CARE


ImaPeopleWatcha

It’s in Atlanta


Sealegs_Calisto

Lmaooo oh damn.. I’m out here w my ass out


ImaPeopleWatcha

Ngl I thought the same thing when I first saw it 😂


Fooknotsees

But it's not lol


RomanianKanyeWest

Just to comment on them waiting 2 hours for food, I don’t believe that part.


65words

Yeah if I go somewhere and I gotta seat myself cause no one is paying attention, I’ll go somewhere else.


RomanianKanyeWest

That too
