Because the is the average pay of an executive chef in Los Angeles is this: http://www.indeed.com/salary?q1=Executive+Chef&l1=Los+Angeles. Is that really you in the picture. Talk to me, tell me what you think, IM INTERESTED? I do wonder if Gordon would have the same opinion of how this particular event happened though. If you Google Abe Saffron, you will find a series of articles about him and his family. I am merely pointing some things that did not seem to match. I know the bakery who provided the buns is an amazing place, and their products are really good. He isnt going to advertise it by saying My SOB father stole my money and dragging me into this business. with all due respect, sir, I think you actually stopped reading at the disclaimer where I made it clear that this is a BLOG of OPINION. Anyway, these are just my personal views. And I did mention how it was $1 mill in 2007 money. And an article mentions that Abe warned that if Alan fights it, he would get nothing (link posted on the blog above). He has changed the menu probably 10 times in those 16 months, which is nearly once a month. Just watched this episode again and decided to waste my evening Googling the Saffron family and reading up about them. Burger Kitchen's saga, unfortunately, doesn't end on a high note. the riches area in L.A. Thanks! A residual remains and Alan is sueing for that as he had a stroke and feels he was unfairly treated in the original will. If it really is Alan posting on here, Alan I hope your son hits you on the head with a mallet, and then his jittery cracked out girlfriend hits your wife with a mallet, and then her heart beats like a hummingbirds and explodes. Great work investigating the background of this poor family, I found out strange a restaurant owner who writes a book on his father and does such drama. I am assuming they took the POS with them/sold it etc. S01E03 Mixing Bowl Bellmore, NY **closed** So, Alan took the money from his son, Daniel. Mark Hamill and his comic book collection are also featured in this episode, which I thought was kind of interesting. I wish him the best. S01E01 The Dovecote Bistro Devon, England They lost, because producers want to keep churning out ultra-cheap reality instead of paying fair wages for traditional shows. If I were a client of his and saw Kitchen Nightmares I would be finding different representation and fast. We cannot make the accusation because we dont know the familys side of the story. And Gordon Ramsays show is the tool by which this could happen perhaps? att: Millie, sorry for the strong language but I have strong feelings on this. here is a new one! S03E04 La Gondola Derby, England **sold**, S04E01 La Parra de Burriana Nerja, Spain **closed** S03E10 Fleming Miami, FL **Closed** He cooks both sides until they brown . We do not do things in America this way, trust me.. Yeah, as soon as one hears that Daniel has 160,000 still in the bank then it makes no sense at all for him to suffer in this business. He figured that he would try and get into a hamburger restaurant, but they did not have the money to open the best restaurant in Los Angeles. Juice, I think that its obvious that Alan has been hit on the head one to many times by that mallet. Maybe they are getting the full million later, maybe its a settlement to be received in sections, maybe most of the money ran out and they only had 250k. Even IF those calculations were wrong, remember thats IF, how would it in anyway invalidate any other points that were made in this blog. I wonder what gordon made of it all, after the fact. Agent for Service of Process: ALAN SAFFRON, CONVERTED IN 2010 TO (and after Daniels money was taken), BURGER KITCHEN, L.P. I think around 17,000. Gordon meets his server, Madilyn, and immediately asks her what she thinks is wrong with the restaurant. I am aware the deceased was the beneficial owner of shares or interests in real property, especially where those properties housed illegal brothels, and that his interests were protected by blind trusts which may or may not have been known to the defendants. He then says that Alan has been watching too many James Bond movies. Abe Saffron also known as Mr. Wars have started over lessor insults! But of course you stopped reading at that point. It was all so over the top. You can always tell people that have become wealthy with no idea how to handle that money. season 5 2/15, Ramsey getting better, althought last 2 seasons i would say wait 2 years to really know. LOL. The bread is sweet and doughy, and overall, the entire thing is bland and tasteless. Then it re-aired again and I got a lot of US hits. LOL. S03E08 Mama Ritas Newbury Park, CA **closed** The restaurant is literally running through resources until nothings left. S02E02 D-Place Chelmsford, England **closed** Guess they are implying that Yelp is blackmailing into making them pay money in order to allow good reviews to showan accusation against Yelp. I wonder if his son finally got the money back that he was entitled to. D. Thank you Adam. Do you know where Alan, Gen or Daniel are today? Create a free website or blog at WordPress.com. Alan was managing Daniels money, so he actually took part of the money. So glad to have found this post! parking is a real issue in this area. S02E03 Momma Cherris Soul Food Shack Brighton, England Pity they closed down. His dad was a MAJOR crime boss over there, they wouldnt touch this guy Also, he talks too much to have worked in that position. Well apart from being 60% uninvited foreigners, many of them european crooks, such as Romanian and nigerian fraudsters, Russian protection racketeers, polish trafficers (although the romanians specialise in child sex trafficing) , and lithuanian prostitutes. He is a schame artist at best! Strange stumbling into all this.. heck, everything here feels staged too , full abe saffron story here, http://www.smh.com.au/tv/show/mr-sin/the-abe-saffron-story-20111025-1mhnw.html. to the person who wishes Gordon Ramsey had not done this show, I dont think they knew what they were getting themselves into. Fascinating. We provide the most recent, unbiased accounts of the news that matters to you. this guy is an embarassment to not only to the European Traditions, to Australia but to his total family! Gordon orders the California burger, medium-rare, a Cowboy burger, the Australian meat pie, and the award-winning burger. season 2 11/11 It really is hard to take an obvious troll with a boob obsession seriously. Maybe the father/son team actually planned this together but told Gordon otherwise. Gordon is shown to his seat, where he has a chat with Alan and Gen. Gen says that the restaurant opened 16 months ago, which is not long at all in the restaurant world. it sickens me to see how Alan portrays himself as a humble poor dad on the tv show and then in real life hes trying bump Abes daughter and her kids off the inheritance? on that. Someone that can be so passionate is wonderful. But did Daniel know? Now what is Yelp? I do enjoy this blog and the comments. Idk if everyone else has seen it. He is listed as either president or agent of some talent management companies and one of his clients is Tobin Bell, whom I just realized is the guy from Saw so thats one positive thing. Burger Kitchen was opened back in April 2010 by Alan and Gen Saffron, it was located on 3rd Street, Los Angeles, an ideal location known for its trendy shops and restaurants. ~ very nice blog, good on yha mate as for my dad his always been a hot shot for a hot spot, ( my name is adam saffron btw ) I love gordon ramasy cooking and his shows, that kitchen burger one was two staged for me and way out line with my dad and gen as usual, I have not been in touch with him for along time due to him ignoring my feelings and famliy with many reasons I will say again very nice blog if u wont to know anything about me or ask ???? S04E08 Kingston Cafe Pasadena, CA Still, Ive read some of the comments and thought id comment. We are bringing to light other issues of the family that were not discussed in the show. A contrast from his regular poor dad look from the Kitchen Nightmare show ; where Alan seems to portray a clueless, calm and somewhat goofy character. Hi Ian, thanks so much. Its hard to be belittled every day, and so for the chefs to come to work is almost unbearable. This is totally insane first we have a husband and wife partnership.. that then brings in a son, and now it is sort of a corporation maybe because of stock issued, etc. Gordon looks exasperated. I also know your did knew this because of how he handled his will. I kind of wish I could go in person to check out the place. I have to say that the family was so despicable that I stopped watching half way through the second episode. All sources get links and/or credit). Keep up the good work. To gain interest in the book, to get some publicity. Either wayits annoying! But then you have this article: Saffrons son spills beans on Nielsen killing (L Carty http://www.theage.com.au). S05E07 Curry Lounge Nottingham, England And Gordon, who is mostly very vocal and involved in his shows, kind of just stands back and lets the Saffrons do most of the talking, fighting, and what I perceive to be acting for the cameras. What I believe happened is they got a huge paycheck from kitchen nightmares, so I think once they got the money for the episode, they started trying to sell, then sued when Daniel knew his dad had the money. Daniel Boulud is Chef-Owner of 7 restaurants in New York City and 6 in national and international destinations, as well as the Feast & Ftes catering company. S03E03 Clubway 41 Blackpool, England **closed** The suit, issued by a former manager at Dillons, an off-Broadway restaurant in Manhattan catering primarily to theatregoers, alleges that Ramsay falsely blamed him for the difficulties of the. Sadly, Joseph isn't the first person to take their own life after appearing on a Gordon Ramsay-hosted program. THAT IS THE SOLE REASON I EVEN BOTHERED TO WATCH. Having a pastry chef and a master baker in the family I dont think either of them would take a job running a kitchen in a burger place ??? The beer selection was also another topic that was praised. The Executors of the estate took over $1,000,000 in commission without court approval, similar to stealing. In a proposed class action filed in the US, Philip Williams said the way the . food sucks tho.. the sons placed looked like crap which explained if his father was taking advantage of him. My mother is Scottish of german heritage. Mr Saffron, who lives in Los Angeles, has taken action against the executors of his fathers will in an attempt to claim part of the trust. I am, in a way tempted to try this place but I cannot support it considering that in my opinion it is very likely that the family reached out to Gordon for publicity and attention rather than to receive real help. YELP stated they did not have the cool POS system or even the new menu, POS system seemed obv a gift.. unless they sold it . Old thread but I wanted to share some info. The kitchen all agrees that Burger Kitchen is mismanaged by a dysfunctional family. Abes other kid and Alans Aussie kids are ok. Its the USA Saffrons I dont want to hear about. You are quite correct, Dan. A vegan customer is suing Burger King for cooking its plant-based patties on the same grills it uses for meat. This guy is something else, and I fear he is a scam artist far worse than the show even protrayed.. Did you ever think its entertainment and thats why he let raw meat go? NOTICE THEY DONT POST THE RECIPES FOR ALL THE REALLY EXCELLENT FOOD YOU SEE BEING MADE ON ALL THESE TRAVEL-BASED SHOWS AND SHOWS LIKE CHOPPED OR IRON CHEF; THE SHOWS THAT HAVE/USE ALL THE REAL CHEFS ON THEM, NOT THE FAKE COOKS?? I thought was interesting read, https://web.archive.org/web/20140106181446/https://themillieblog.wordpress.com/2011/11/06/burger-kitchen-on-kitchen-nightmares-exposed/. Think what you like.. To the comment about trolling: Being anonymous does not mean you can release confidential information. Alan owned a steakhouse in Australia? So far Daniels brother and someone else who knows the Saffrons personally commented on my blog and did not dispute any amounts even though we dont agree on all of my opinions which naturally have a margin of error. Abe Saffron, Gordon Ramsay, Kitchen Burger, Kitchen Nightmares, Saffrons. (So let it be written, so let it be done.) I dont think somebody born of my fathers mistress and her children should be beneficiaries, he said. Does this new company own alot of restaurants in town? I think I might just to add it to my blog. The 1st amendment is still protected here. Watching the show I assumed he received more than that because Daniels parents continue to ask him for more money and if hes not getting paid a salary from The Burger Kitchen where would that money come from? AT LEAST NOT IN MY HOME ANYWAY. Now, I love Gordon Ramsay but I started to suspect something fishy going on and personally I felt that some parts seemed kind of staged. ITS BULLSHIT. S03E04 Mojito Brooklyn, NY It is quite possible that there have been positive changes and it is up to the people of Los Angeles to go check it out for themselves. A show about his Alan and his familymaybe not so much. Thx. Ireland. As for making his book into a movie? The family is miserable and their drama is worse than that of a soap opera on TV. We serve fresh and burgers. Mr Baffsky, who now runs hotel chain Accor, denied he has ever had any association with Abe Saffron. UGH!!! We are still dealing with a Lower Level Unsuccessful Conman that will screw over his kids and then cries when its stuck to him by his dad in his will, contests it and wants more. The Libertine group took over in September. I am happy to found your blog and read about it. You son has you by the cajones right now, I guess you dont understand the duties of a trustee? Alan is either VERY dumb, or he is very slick.. not sure which right now.. and there is still a lot that does not add up. And I happen to see how this person and his family do not just get to be on Kitchen Nightmares but get 2 whole episodes whereas everyone else just gets one. 0 following. DOES THE AMOUNT REALLY MATTER Johnny BOY? S04E02 The Fenwick Arms Claughton, England **sold** I have heard that a fellow blogger was accused of attacking the Saffrons because they are Jewish and that they take to responding angrily when anyone post anything negative about them. I just believe that Mr Saffron wants to turn the book into a movie, plus it is written in an article that he was looking to turn it into a tv series or movie. Burger Kitchen has only been open for 16 months but it already has serious issues with a family at war. A far cry from a struggling burger restaurant owner who has family drama. Well if my blog is not important enough why should I even bother with someones comment at all? Plugging the book and then realizing that the father wants to make a movie out of it. LOL. I mean if they both planned it.. Then, Alan went to Daniel for more money. The crime boss also stipulated that if Alan contested the will he was to receive nothing. Africa! In 2016, the owner, Joe Nagy, sold the old Mill Street Bistro location for $140,000 to end things for good. Thats interesting considering that in the show, Daniel said he asked why would they open a restaurant since they know nothing about the restaurant business. One article mentioned that he cried when he found out his father left him so little money. So, where did they get the money? As far as are they there now, probably the house hasnt been sold in a long time. He blew his inheritance, his father blew his inheritance, so they came up with this ploy. Cause Im pretty sure ol Danny would have out up a legal fight over his stolen 250k especially in LA. But you have to wonder, how much help did the Saffrons really need? Legitimate or not, they are his kids, his flesh and blood and have 100% rights to the inheritance they got. are. and there is a lot more.. this is just the tip of the iceberg!!!! Solid arguments. My heart went out to Daniel, having to deal with a difficult man such as his father, no matter what his background is or was, a son will, in most cases, be loyal to a parent and unfortunately that sometimes allows a parent to ride roughshot over the feelings and logic of a person, simply because they are thought of as being only offspring. LOL-LOL. All in 1 to 3 weeks, huh. Alan's LinkedIn page is also riddled with grammar mistakes and indicates he sold the restaurant the year after the show aired, which I also found interesting (although I've heard it's not unusual for people on Kitchen Nightmares to sell their restaurants shortly after their episodes air). There is a difference between giving polite constructive criticism or being nasty about it. It seems, also that since 2010 when the restaurant opened, the family had Gordon Ramsay in mind, going back to Daniels rebuttal where he states: Not everyone in the world is as rich or powerful as wolfgang puck or chef ramses. A story of his passing. Form the patties with care. My dad is Irish and came to London during the period when he still needed a Visa for entry and he couldnt go into pubs along with dogs and black people. Madilyn explains that there is a complete lack of management. If you just want to focus on the entertainment aspect then please by all means just watch the episode be entertained and dont ask questions about it. I get kind of fed up with people who forget that London, along with the majority of european capitals, have always been centres of immigration. I admit that I have started to feel a bit guilty afterwards. He does admit that it is a great place to have a restaurant, as it is smack dab in the middle of the city. The chef is not a major character compared to the Saffrons. He referred to a conversation he had with the executor Victor Bogan. It was a pleasure to read. Stuffed with red wine-braised short ribs and foie gras, it continues to be a main attraction, alongside classic French dishes that are both comforting and traditional. Considering that all of Alans children got their own inheritance not just Daniel. S02E04 La Riviera Inverness, Scotland **renamed to Abstract**, S03E01 Oscars Nantwich, England **sold** His other daughter from a mistress seemed to have been close to him and never says how abusive Abe was. While, I do get people who disagree post to me, they at least can write like normal polite people to post their disagreement and can start a constructive conversation rather than post like boob man insulting troll comments that really, no one can take seriously. Whilst there may not be many nigerians kicking about in Elizabethan London there was quite a varied mix of european and local rascals dealing in chid prostitution, brothels, drugs, fraud and robbery etc. Nu, I would like to again say that I am not responsible for the opinions expressed in the comments.
