I'm one of the guys that was there to do repairs....this guy is a thief, a fraud, and if you saw the kitchen you wouldn't let your dog in there. He simply didn't want to pay rent or his bills....

[@noseyandneutral]

Wowwww thanks for your input

[@aquarius4life]

Dang smh

[@2REGGIE1]

This dude is a professional liar got a quick answer for everything

[@mr.t6171]

I don't know this man. But I've dealt with a guy that speaks the same way this guy does. He lied to me and stole lots of money. Looks, acts, talks just like this guy. Weird.

[@kookiep5261]

He said his not in the business because he loves food but because of people. Ummm then get in another field. I never heard a Chef say that.

[@EpsteinIslandmember]

He a homosexual just like every blk male around

[@she_sings_delightful_things]

I was about to comment this same thing

[@TScott-vp9zv]

That line was definitely a head scratcher.

[@ArtTheSinger]

It’s nothing wrong with that at all.

[@ArtTheSinger]

He’s a chef and also a restaurateur. So he should love people and we all should love people it would make life much easier.

[@noseyandneutral]

Houston is so raggedy sometimes

[@alfavulcan4518]

A lawyer filing a cease and desist, then lawsuit against landlord violating contract. That didn’t happen, his story doesn’t make sense

[@aceydishy9338]

Straight-up chiseler.

[@HotelTravelGuide101]

Thanks for this interview the people needed to see this

[@cammimitchell7626]

Why is he talking,so much? It's odd. He's quick with responses because he's a salesman, not a business man. I hope all the employees are paid. I went through this with a fast food restaurant owner. They had too many ideas and intentionally shady business teams. These owners don't start restaurants because they like people; they love money or clout. Hopefully, he gets it together,soon.

[@eveharris30]

"Support Black businesses" they say!

[@BigWillieDillie]

You sound ignorant...

[@tobehonest7541]

yes troll !
bad people are everywhere ...including your hairdresser

[@zippyspring]

Thrust is the past tense of Thrust. Not "Thrusted." Thanks for doing the interview.

[@antoinerantful]

Soooooo basically everyone is lying but him 🤭🙄🤣

[@ArtTheSinger]

So if someone lie on you, you must be lying as well?

[@ET-hc4wl]

This is terrible.

[@Shazzyhtown]

Why u lyin sir 😆😆. This many folks didnt get their money, including employees and investors?? How can this be? Where is the money bruh!! 😒😒

[@korybee23]

Chile his wife probably

[@philoctetes_wordsworth]

My guess? Shitty business partners, or criminal accountants.
