Fuck La BBQ – it is a disgrace that they were awarded a star.

I’m still laughing they got a star. It’s fine but hardly star-worthy. Though now that we see what they’re willing to award stars for, it diminishes the prestige of Michelin for me.
But anyway, does this story surprise anyone?

Sooo this happens almost 10 years ago but we gotta hear about it through the lame royal bashing lens of the UK daily mail? ESH.

Another reason reinforcing why I won’t go back into service/hospitality and small biz retail. Shady shit, scammy practices and general shitty behavior.
Back in 2019 the bar I was working at was taking tipping money to pay for daily cleaning crew every morning. It was so bizarre to me because the previous bar I was at, we cleaned the place ourselves until 230am or 3am tip out.

I love how this is a story from a British tabloid using this information to shit on Harry and Meghan for going there 10 months ago

Why does Harry’s BBQ opinion hold any weight?

Whoever wrote this should be charged for fraud too based on how terribly written and outdated this “story” is. Bleh

I thought we were mad at insurance companies. Didn’t they defraud their insurance company to get their employee taken care of?

Shitty bbq spot.

My understanding is they didn’t have insurance which many restaurants don’t have. Their employee got injured so they got insurance and backdated the injury so the employee could get taken care of. Am I missing something? Yes, it’s illegal but why the hatred against them?

Yeah we know. And have known for a long time.

Hopefully La is carrying appropriate worker’s insurance now.
Good to know that British-American expat royals living a lifestyle completely away from the intrusive inquiring press made an extensive tour of barbecue joints throughout Texas to be able to voice their influential opinion, which the media must have found out about due to the extensive bugging of their property. Poor, poor expats, trying to live a private life…

Although OP’s article is trash for linking the insurance fraud to the royals, this is not the exact same story as the previous articles. This relates to the *criminal* indictment against LaBarbecue’s owner rather than than the *civil* lawsuit that was previously filed.

Here’s an article from the Texas Department of Insurance regarding the recent indictment: https://www.tdi.texas.gov/wc/ci/la-barbecue-manager-and-owner-indicted-on-fraud-charges.html
Wow, now Harry and Meghan are taking fingers?? What a couple of monsters.
It’s a garbage place for workers and for health
The secret ingredient to great food is “crime”

Has the Daily Mail always been utter dogshit, or am I only just noticing it recently?
