Am I the only one not impressed by this celebrity chef?
I mean you are opening a kitchen to feed wealthy government workers that live in a wealthy area because they missed one paycheck?
Yeah I get it you helped many during some recent disasters, but there are people at the doorsteps of some of your restaurants that are legit homeless and suffering. Guess they don't provide the headlines for your ego.
Laughingly you offered to provide rent for Alexandria Ocasio because her soon to be salary couldn't afford DC.
He's not a chef, he's a professional virtue signaler. I'm sure it's great for business, though - don't believe for a second he gives a shit about anything but his bank account. I don't see him offering up any of the spare bedrooms in his 6 bedroom house to illegal aliens, but he wants all us to.
His food is good. Daughter went to Jaleos a couple of weeks ago and says it's still excellent after all these years (more than 25 years!). That's kind of impressive, as most restaurants deteriorate after that long.
Making America Great Again! Imprison Trump for Lying about the Wall.
Always pandering with his politics though. Why should I give a shit what your voting record is? You’re charging me a shitload to eat, so cook and shut up.
Mike Isabella was/is a piece of shit from top to bottom. You could get away with being an alcoholic, womanizing chef years ago. But today it’s signing the death warrant if your business.
Of course he loves "undocumented" immigrants. Who else will slave away in his kitchens while he pushes people aside to have his photo taken?
Total media and attention whore that acts like his tapas at Jaleo are any better than what someone in Madrid, Bilbao, Valencia, etc could get for a fraction of the price.

Give some examples, because I've literally never heard one person say or 'act' like this.
Jaleo doesn't even pretend to be like an authentic tasca in Spain.
Obviously you've never been to one in Spain, because prices are comparable to Barcelona and Madrid. Seafood and raciones plates go up to $14-15 US dollars.

To think being friends with Bourdain is a bad thing tells you everything about what a took you are.

Bullshit. Absolute bullshit. Was in Barcelona just before Christmas, and yes, if you eat in the city center, you will pay city center prices. Just like anywhere in the world.
Had great, cheap tapas and wine off the beaten path. Very affordable groceries as well.
