I must’ve missed that one! Infatuation is a weird publication.

Worry not. Savoy Kitchen’s superior to both Kato and TFL…as is Kang Kang Food Court’s pre-cooked food on their steam tables.

Yeesh!!

Apparently Angler and Raku fall under this list too.

And of all items on the menu, antelope tartare was the standout for him.

just wild behavior from Keller. What a dick.

Hiding behind the “oh it hurts my cooks when we get a review” no dawg - buck stops with you as the owner. And when he slammed critics after Clark’s review saying that criticism isn’t a real profession and it’s cause they can’t cook (to one of our best recipe developers)

Guy is a total crybaby and no one would’ve written this if he didn’t bring someone out back mob-style to lecture them at the restaurant.

What was political about this article? It’s an experience that actually happened that the person wrote about when trying to just have a normal meal with friends.
