If you knew Luke then, you probably knew me. We were really inseparable high school and post college for me - I lived with him at helter shelter and spent more time in Meghan’s regal than anyone should’ve - and once again, this whole thing doesn’t surprise me at all. There’s a reason I haven’t talked to him in years.

And congratulations to you too! Three years booze and blow free in June!

I graduated from Indiana the same year he graduated HC

I grew up with him (we for sure know each other Akay) and I haven’t talked to him in about five years since I moved to Philly and got sober. Knowing him his entire life, I’m the least surprised that this happened and I’m even less surprised people have made excuses for his actions. I think the conclusion you’ve drawn is correct.

where I work generally each person spends about 70-85 a person, so it’s a significantly diminished bill. And that’s the case for most of them. If you don’t care for the economics of the restaurant industry, which have been fairly static for the past ten years adjusting for inflation, do everyone involved a favor and stay home.

I mean that’s what it’s forced to become - have you ever worked one? Every cheap jamoke with a yelp account comes out of the woodwork and if you can’t accommodate them all then yr screwed - it’s also not at all what you think it is if you think that that’s how restaurant week started. It’s a business boost during slow times of the year for the restaurant industry.
