New Places for Stuffing Faces

Why did you mention who someone used to date? This has no bearing on food. Good job.

@1, the full story is why he won't get my dining dollar, no matter how the food turns out. She'd ended it with him before she got famous. After she got the prominent role, he put private sexy times photos of her on the internet, where they live to this day.

I hope they can all make a go of it. It's a risky proposition to open a bar/restaurant, and too many of these places were "where someplace used to be".

How did a struggling restauranteur like Dave Meinert manage to scrape together enough capital to partner with someone to take over another restaurant? Is that partner an idiot or something?

@2 is correct. It's true ... as revenge for Kristin Davis dumping him, the owner of Shibumi put sex GIFs on the internet of her. Aren't you guys at The Stranger always railing against revenge porn? And here you're giving free publicity to this guy.

Kristin David revenge porn? From what's online (TMV as a source?), he sold pictures to someone who lost them and they ended up online. Not nice, but people do change after 30 years. Although not people in Seattle, who continue to post anonymous complaints attempting to sabotage other people's businesses for their non-stated complaints about prices or waiting.

Will have to get my butt over to the Central District to try The Urban Buggy. I like it when a small place has a small menu that changes daily.

I think I'll skip the BBQ Pulled "Pork" Sandwich, though, even though I realize it's "pork" and not pork. There are some meat dishes, thankfully, I have no appetite for, whether it's meat or "meat."

@6 -- I don't have any "non-stated" complaints about this restaurant. I don't care whether it's awful, great, or something in between. I just think that people should have the chance to know what a douchebag the owner is, so they can make an informed decision about what kind of person they're giving their hard-earned dollars to.

(And BTW, I think those pictures were sold/given away a lot more recently than 30 years ago. Where are you getting 30 years from?)

@8 pictures are apparently from 1992.

I don't know what your angle is. The fragrance ban seems to have made him a lot of enemies online. It's clear the Kristen Davis pictures are added as an emotional trump card by people settling another beef with him.

So much for restaurants putting off growth plans for fear of a raise in the minimum wage...
