Chef McLargehuge is a hack

>giving people a basic lesson in how to cook/run a business over two days
He doesn't know anything more than the basics, or else he would be able to do better at keeping them alive.

anybody try his protein bar? I had the cookie dough crunch flavor
was pretty alright, no escaping that chemical supplement flavor though no matter how much cookie dough you pack in there

>"He's too busy to be as personally involved as he wants to be," McLean said. "He coaches businesses and tells them if you want to be successful you have to be personally invested in the business. When you're not living here, and you're on the road 340 days a year, it's hard to do that."

Honestly, I'd buy it. He just doesn't want a restaurant anymore. Being a celebrity chef is probably fucking exhausting enough.

I just watch it to ogle his impressive biceps, average traps and below average everything else.
His gym routine must be limited as fuck.

I love how Zoogs closed 6 months after the show.
The alcoholic clown sold up while he could.

I guess you've never seen that one episode.

Because many people who open restaurants love to cook. When in fact people who love math should open restaurants instead.

I also see a lot of people who are gourmets in their own mind running restaurants but actually have very little culinary education (formal or otherwise).

The greatest challenge is that at the end of the day your main product food has a small profit margin. Which means you rely on volume of sales and turn over of tables. But you have to deliver consistently over and over.

Culinary grad and pro here. People, esp well to do older people tend to have a brainwave that goes like this.

Huh. I like food, I like to eat out. Let's open a restaurant. I could do that.

But they've never worked in one.
