Still confused

Are you still standing by your appeal for all of us to go to restaurants in the middle of a pandemic, stating that, "This is why I am going out to eat more often now, to support my friends’ restaurants."?

I wonder how many people in Seattle and NYC took your advice? I'm guessing you'll delete this comment like you have my others.

Your account is 22 days old, which leads me to believe it was created exclusively to have a hissy fit online about their email telling people to go out to support local restaurants. None of your comments have been deleted. Please, go find a hobby.

They've moved on. We're making pasta now. Honestly though, it's a delicate dance of trying to be responsive and proactive to the situation, even as the direction changed quickly. They were trying to use their platform to support friends and former colleagues who were/are suddenly impacted so deeply. Plus they want to stay on our mind as a company who is here with us through it and all and that we should support them.

I care. As does my wife who is taking care of covid patients. He thought he was helping his buddies, but was hurting healthcare workers, including my wife. Not letting it rest. She's at MGH. Your name should evoke some sympathy.

I happened to buy a Joule around the time this all went down. Take your conspiracy theory elsewhere.

Walt_1143069

And yes, they've deleted my comments.

Oh, so they get to forget the terrible contribution they may have made to spreading a pandemic because they're cool?

Walt_1143069

Anyone with half a brain could have told them that they were giving terrible advice, let along the fact they were denigrating people for not violating social distancing protocols. They couldn't have gotten it more wrong, and likely have lead to actual people dying. I don't give free passes to people who are that blind to the world.

History will not be kind to those who encouraged the things he was encouraging. I want a front row seat.

Does the age of an account affect its ability to call out gross ethical miscalculations by Grant?

Walt_1143069

The title was "Incredibly Irresponsible" You can guess what is was about. Ask them why they deleted it.

Walt_1143069

Ok, no more covid. PASTA! I'll be sure to tell my wife who is taking care of covid patients. Just give them pasta!

seattlejo_69596

They were called out. they backed down. What would you like them to do?

Like Brian says your account is 22 to days old, why show up now and throw a hissy fit?

You do realize that the email in question came out before "social distancing" started to be widely promulgated in the media. If you expect a chef to be knowledgable about the topic of infectious diseases, when none of our political leaders or journalists are, I don't know what to tell you. But you are right: Monday morning quarterbacking doesn't take half a brain. And acusing them of causing the deaths of people takes even less.

The top donkey in charge of your country said a day before the email came out "It will go away. Stay calm, calm down". Grant isn't spreading the virus,. The administration at the helm is doing far more damage than Grant did with email. Direct your efforts at the root problem, you might get better results.

As the old saying goes... the fish stinks from the head down.

Let me know when my account is old enough to have an opinion. Thanks.

Walt_1143069

Anyone waiting for the media to inform them is an idiot.

aaron.c.schroeder

Here's the thing. Walt is right. But he's also an insufferable ass. He's spending his time bitching on a little-used comment board about a mistaken email plea, sent at a time when misinformation was being spread at the highest levels of our government. No one's saying you're "wrong", but for someone as visibly and vocally upset about the virus and its many victims as you can't stop telling us you are, count me surprised that you aren't putting your significant concern to more productive ends.

Nobody cares.

Walt_1143069

Thanks for policing my response. Please let me know what I'm supposed to be doing. I'll sit idly by and wait for a list of allowed activities.

pd3ski_278514

Sit on your rigid thumb Walt. It is allowed in these uncertain times.

pd3ski_278514

Well my reply didn’t stick below due to a long known forum issue*...

lol.. although I’m sure you’ve seen part of the many I left in your globe.... enjoy

regardless..

Oh no . darn darn darn .. Walt didn’t get his apology.. oh my oh my.. jeez.. I mean golly..

you really should have received one by now.. gosh.. I just can’t believe it.

Jeebus dude give it a F’ing rest! You’ve now established yourself as a sealion..

Go joule some herrings for a nice healthy snack.

* feature not a bug at this point

...lolz

Edit.. a clarification to note that the post dates are completely blended now and our champ Walt brought this crap up again many days later with two extra posts... thus my response

jason.r.whitworth

Nobody cares walt. I bet your wife is tired of hearing your shit when she gets home.

jason.r.whitworth

What a moron with this low key threat Walt. History won't care about anything on this level walt. I certainly don't think they are rolling out the ole guillotine for restaurant recs Walt. Wouldn't a front row seat mean you are not social distancing walt?
