He just cares about his popularity. Being able to tell grass fed from corn fed is something he believes his customers don't know. He has no respect for people, just his 15 minutes of fame. The good thing is in the end his food will have to shine through, his fame will fade and he won't be around in a few years.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7687491910500396975.post-78156008804015734202011-09-18T14:06:06.973-07:002011-09-18T14:06:06.973-07:00Malarkey could have easily used this opportunity t...Malarkey could have easily used this opportunity to explain why he uses Brandt over other products and talk food with someone who actually knows and cares about the product being served but instead he chose to act the way he did. If you are going to ask what someone thought of your food expect an honest answer or don't ask at all. Not everyone is going to kiss your ass because you were on TV and are somewhat of a, and I use this term loosely 'celebrity chef'. If you care more about being a celebrity go design a cookware line and sell it on HSN.Bobby @ Gourmands Reviewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16193612013855527979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7687491910500396975.post-77286439276072088162011-09-18T09:41:22.014-07:002011-09-18T09:41:22.014-07:00@Rodzilla - I don't think the point is to get ...@Rodzilla - I don't think the point is to get up in arms over it. As for why I didn't just say it was good to begin with, I tend to get caught up into small details at the moment, so in this case I was really bothered by the temperature being medium instead of medium rare, which clouded my judgement. I also wasn't (and still am not) a fan of the baconnaise. The conversation is also pretty much verbatim from my memory because I don't want it to be said that I spun what he said or took it out of context.<br /><br />@Tim - Yes, I could have phrased the feedback better, but I chose to tell the entire story to my own detriment rather than simply taking the quote out of context. If a Chef asks you about the food, I think they should be prepared for some criticism, even if they are the local celebrity.Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17890057472555378007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7687491910500396975.post-56339758481616290542011-09-18T08:48:47.547-07:002011-09-18T08:48:47.547-07:00>>>it's an entirely different thing t...>>>it's an entirely different thing to pay money to the restaurant and leave insulted<<<<br /><br />And of course you see nothing insulting in your behavior?

That said, this interaction didn't get me up in arms. <br /><br />If that was the conversation verbatim then I think he likely would have given a very different response had you fashioned your own a bit differently. <br /><br />You even said the food was very good, I probably would have told him that first - then went on to say "I did want to bring to your attention that the beef...and I wanted to ask about the grass-fed beef"<br /><br />just my take.Rodzillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16217934585720560358noreply@blogger.com
