There has to be a better way

Can you expand without paying the price or the guilt?

Gotta love watching the JG PR machine in action! Damage control much?

Whassa matter? Matsugen not bringing in enough of the card-carrying JG Fans to pay the exorbitent rent?

You can if your karma is good.

oh ! ahahaa i was just consulting with a restaurateur on an issue just like this !


believe it or not, the logistics of accomplishing such a feat are actually QUITE SIMPLE. (or rather maybe i should say: for THE RIGHT COMPANY, anyways.)

i wish i could expound some more, but SORRRRRY ! that's just not the type of information i dispel for FREE, anymores.

wow i think you would kinda be amazed how right on target is this sentiment.

yes! has anyone done it perfectly, not yet. I know this is a JG hater zone but I still think that there are worse chefs out there. am i kicked out for saying that?

gaah ! GIMME A BREAK ALREADY

kicked out for WHAT ?? why does everybody assume i even give a shit about stupid jean-georges. i couldn't FUCKING CARE LESS.

oh okay that's a lie. but seriously, does NOBODY comprehend: the more famous he becomes THE BETTER IT IS FOR MOI.

DUH.




and yes of course, there are worse worse worse worse chefs out there. there are also worse GM's, DO's, FM's, SC's, Proprietors etc etc etc


do i have to spell it out once and for all, already ?

i do not keep this place around so that every little mistake or fault or act of stupidity that happens in the industry gets called out. CLEARLY that aint happening-- cuz as many of yalls have so frequently pointed out, yalls still have jobs you want and need to maintain.
it's all good, bitches.

i like to think this place exists so that EVERYBODY in the industry may know:

watch your step and tread lightly, mutherfukkers. be good, be kind, be fair and decent. because WE ARE ALWAYS WATCHING and WE ALWAYS KNOW THE TRUTH.

and when/if the time is "right"

we will kick your sorry asses.

NO IT IS NOT.

looooove on that bitch allllllllls you want. rub your lovin alls up and down that little french fucker till the cows come home for alls i care.

GEEZUS.

True, 'haters' hate for no plausible or rational reason. Some of us here 'hate' JG for a slew of plausible and rational reasons.

Yea I don't know why anyone would call us haters, 'cos if someone did the same thing to them, stole wages and and got mad just beacuse people pointed out all the things that are wrong and fired people for being right, then if you didn't hate that person, that would make you pretty stupid!!!

call me stupid then.

he never stole from me. paid for my costa rica vacation. why would i hate him? sucks for people who got ripped off. but that wasn't me.

so im not stupid after all.

What? It didn't seem like anyone was calling you stupid. It sounds like what FnC was trying to say is that people shouldn't call us haters just because we hate someone who did something wrong to us, and anyone who wouldn't hate someone who did something wrong to them is stupid.

I'm glad you don't hate him, because he did nothing wrong to you. But it would also be nice if people finally recognized and appreciated that if it wasn't for employees like us, maybe that company would still be doing hateful things to people.

And no, JG didn't pay for you to go to Costa Rica, the customers did. If you and your husband really believe it was JG, then that must mean you're going to stay with him forever, because no one else will ever pay for your trips again?

he did too pay for it. he went with me too. he was my boogie board partner.

Oh so he bought your admiration. That's nice..

that's not the only thing. thank god i didn't work for them that long, but i have worked for alot of co's in the city, and as bad as mostly all of them are, jg's was one of the worst. there was only one place i worked for that was worse, and that's br guest. at least the staff and floor mgrs that work for jg were pretty cool, but the morale was so low. if it's the same kind of low morale as br guest then that says alot.

Yea, I like scumbags too. As long as their not scumbags to me, it's ok.

Thank you. That does pretty much say it all, right?

LOL.

Maybe it's not, but I can tell you for a fact, JG ex-employees sure do definitely love them some PX This.

that's right.

A guy I know told me he bought 5 copies. And he was a GM.

Oh mon dieu… il m'allume, j'obtiennent penser juste humide cela

Come on...that was a cheap shot.

This IS a JG hater zone (except us 2). Who said that was a bad thing? You all have your reasons...good ones at that and DCW has hers for liking JG.

You are welcome DCW, I hope you had a good time...maybe a few more reservations at the JG and Perry and you will be off on your next vacation!!

My pleasure.

i (heart) passion foodie.

hey, lets go to the P together. we can probably sneek Abbe in too.

awww. thanks !

but uh-- yah, you might really really really really want to reconsider that one.


<--- if you hear what i'm sayin.

aww sniffle.

that just warms the cockles of my heart. like a proud mama bear.

I hear ya, but boo hoo.
