🤠Don’t Give Me A Home Where The Buffalo Roam

Cause I’ll Show You A House Full Of Sh*T / or Rats

One Word Description, Food and Service  —  Horrid — NOW OWNED BY ARBYS

• Four times - Three locations witnessed Cro-Magnon leadership by management, over one month in Sarasota, Tampa, Tyrone and Largo -  Orders screwed up — lost out waitress - poorly trained — not comfortable with setting,  noisy, barbaric, loud, staff or food—  Mental  problems at four locations —  Mistakes --
  
  
• Upmost at high decibel noise levels of  “ sportspeople, enthusiasts  and idiots possibly more inebriated than just loud and definitely not a place to take a wife or first date, the impression it will leave is that you are a moron.

High Lights — More Horrid — Technical —   

• Worst wings we ever had at three of their locations, small burnt, coated uneven, dark (perhaps the fryer oil was dirty or cross contamination in the sauce bowls… not too much to them, some had the end feathers still on, low quality… I know wings, these are very low end imports.
  
  
• Worst Service - At all three locations south and in Pinellas County  —  All three locations — The two burgers we ordered were either burnt and basically inedible. At two times like sat under the heat lamps for a slow waitress making beer runs.
  
  
• Casual dinning failing miserably in numbers, at various locations, thats nothing but poor franchise or high level management problems.
  
  
• Obviously the corporation high end know nothing about a chain of this size and was forced to sale.  It was sold to owners of Arby’s, another failing chain and Sonic, of people who like to eat in their car.  I used to appraise cars for an insurance company and I can tell you what they had for lunch in many cases . About a month ago — 
  
  
• This answers the question, if you had three loosing deals in the food industry which would you pick.  Arby’s and Sonic just wasted 2.4 Billion dollars.    Great new advertising food is still crap but plenty of free corporate bullsh*t extreme excuses.

 

RAT DIES IN BUFFALO WILD WINGS IN LOS ANGELES  —  An unwelcome surprise dropped onto a woman’s table at a Buffalo Wild Wings in the Westchester area of Los Angeles the other day — a live rat dropped from the ceiling onto her table.   

Alisha Norman says the manager claims construction is to blame.   “I knew the rat was going to be injured because it hit like a Mack truck,” she said.  Norman says she hadn’t even ordered when she heard something overhead.  "You could hear something come down," she said.  Norman, on vacation from Texas, says she requested a manager who came over to help, with two plates in his hands.  

Two Points—  I do not believe people from Texas are that stupid  — But obviously this couple is —and they are Lucky it wasn’t the whole ceiling falling on her head.   OK Texans are used to rats both four legged and two legged political types.

THE FUNERAL — The funeral was held at the local land fill the next day for Fred, the Patriarch of the Rat family and he was laid to rest in a take out foam container —  Fred was married to thirty or so and one of the many  common rat, street rats, sewer rats, wharf rats, Hanover rats, Norway rats, Norwegian rats and Parisian rats, and very popular with the ladies — he had almost 2300 children and thats  a lot of rats to feed—  Rest in Peace --

MANAGEMENT REACTS —   “ Here he comes to save the day”    —  “ He took two plates and then they just picked it up and dumped it in a bag,"   she said. "It was terrible. It was disgusting.”  She's not angry?   She says the manager took care of her bill.   To  compensate for the lunchtime fallout.  I hope they washed the plates and the menus and the table.   And saved the carcass for the examiner to test  —  but I would burn the place down first —

FOUR PRIME LESSONS HERE— “ One Lucky Corporation”  

1 - The Manager Is A Frickin Moron — He took care of the bill ?  HOW FRICKIN GRACIOUS!

2 - Some Customers Are Truly Dumber Then Rocks — Ok dumber than Evangelicals, since some of the diseases rats carry can be an early meeting with Jesus — pray none of the dirt and dust that fell with Fred did not get into you. 

3 - Here comes the Truth - Corporate Bullsh*t aside _ They are lucky a lawyer was not around because we were talking in the thousands of dollars in a settlement based of spreading disease, other dangerous possibilities, exposure, emotional crisis, psychological crisis.  If the rats are there and the roof came down they might be lucky and not get any of the contagion that existed up there for how long? 

CORPORATE BULLSH*T

A spokesperson for Buffalo Wild Wings issued the following statement: “ The isolated incident at the Westchester-area Buffalo Wild Wings in Los Angeles yesterday was unfortunate. The center where the restaurant is located is undergoing significant construction and we are confident it was directly related. 
We hold buffalo wild wings to the highest operating standards and promptly closed the restaurant for proper remediation, cleaning and sanitization.    We look forward to reopening soon to once again serve our guests in the Westchester area.”   They should have burnt the place down for the rats and the lousy food — 

  —  They Don’t At Corporate Level Reply To Or Answer Letters Or Emails  —
Now I Am After Them — 

  

Look Ethel, Thats Fred Down There, He Must Have Been In The Wings Again
 I Warned Him  -- They Were No Good  —  He Was Reading The Menu  —  
I Know It’s Fred, He’s Got Your Ears  —  He Should Have Read Al’s Page 
On Wings, Their’s Really Suck — Cheap imported Sh*t from Overseas — 

MY Letter To Corporate Imbeciles —

Dear Incompetent Person Who wrote Corporate Reply —  Whoever you are, maybe you are not aware of what the rat, our little furry friends can carry,  I hope they changed you to work another area, preferably another location miles away put you in charge of garbage removal… and it would have been better if you had left.  Obviously where there is one rat there are more rats and you don’t know the extent of the infiltration.

And explain to the customers who are really weak minded and ignorant who met the rat,  to have taken pictures left and found an attorney.  Went home and scrubbed.  We take rat infestations seriously here in Florida.  It’s obvious you’re not aware or understand the connection and stayed there for the free meal… not smart…  Ever hear of rat droppings, etc.  

That means the place was contaminated.    They were shut down and BWW is being sold to ARBY’s and Sonic who will screw it up worse… Los Angeles has rats they come across oceans with disease from foreign countries aboard ships.  Many of these problems like Hep-A can stay alive from contact for hours and be contagious.  

Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome,  Hemorrhagic Fever with Renal Syndrome,  Lassa Fever,  Leptospirosis,
Lymphocytic Choric-Meningitis (LCM),  Omsk Hemorrhagic Fever,  Plague,  Rat-Bite Fever,  Salmonellosis,
South American Arena,  Argentine Hemorrhagic fever,  Bolivian hemorrhagic fever,  Sabin-Associated hemorrhagic fever,  Venezuelan hemorrhagic fever,  Tularemia  —  These include the Ebola and Marburg, Lassa fever, and yellow fever viruses. VHFs have common features: they affect many organs, they damage the blood vessels, and they affect the body's ability to regulate itself

An autopsy should have been done on the rat to make sure he died from the fall, they don’t live alone and have babies every twenty-one to twenty-nine days.  Rats can survive falls, he might of eaten some of the Buffalo Wild Wings lousy food as they love the smell of stale food, beer (Hops and Barley) and Chicken wings there.  Maybe he died from food poisoning.  See above chart and if you don’t feel well get medical attention fast,  think Ebola and COVID level illnesses from rats.

Viral hemorrhagic fevers (VHFs) are a group of illnesses caused by four families of viruses. These include the Ebola and Marburg, Lassa fever, and yellow fever viruses. VHFs have common features: they affect many organs, they damage the blood vessels, and they affect the body's ability to regulate itself

Tyrone Buffalo Wild Wings Shut By Food Police To Get The Place Exterminated —

• Inspector's Note 7/21/2021   Largo —  High Priority - Live, small flying insects in kitchen, food preparation area, food storage area and/or bar area. 4 dead flies on floor in walk in cooler left of cooks line. 5 flies on cooks line cutting board and serving handles. 100 flies on dry storage racks, light panels, and boxes in kitchen. 20 flies around bug light in rear of kitchen. 10 flies in dining room. 3 flies observed behind bar on bottle spits and soda gun.
  
  
• Efforts by Buffalo Wild Wings’ new franchisor to revive the brand are already paying off for franchisee Diversified Restaurant Holdings (DRH), with same-store sales rising at the end of 2018 for the first time in three years, said DRH CEO David Burke.   He attributed the 64-unit franchisee’s comp sales growth of 2.2% during the last quarter of 2018 squarely to initiatives undertaken by Buffalo Wild Wings’ new owner, Inspire Brands.   
  
  
• Inspire Brands, Inc., formerly Arby's Restaurant Group, Inc., is the owner of the Arby's restaurant chain, Buffalo Wild Wings, Rusty Taco and Sonic Drive-In. The company’s headquarters and Global Support Center is located in the city of Sandy Springs, GA, in Atlanta’s Perimeter Center district.  Thats the dumb leading the blind in a bag race.
  “We believe this is a testament to the creative, measured approach being taken by the new franchisor to reenergize and rebuild the Buffalo Wild Wings brand, coupled with our focus on guest experience, loyalty attachment and development of the delivery channel,” Burke said.   What a corpo guano suck-up!
  
  
• He did not specify which of the initiatives undertaken by Inspire were most effective in boosting sales. INSPIRE executives have said their turnaround plan is still being drafted.   (WEEGEE BOARDS AN CRAP DICE)  Inspire is testing a new format for the chain in four locations, but that endeavor was unlikely to generate material benefits for DRH during Q4. It was not revealed if one of the test sites is a DRH operation.  
  
  
• Nonetheless, DRH CEO Burke    was effusive in praising the home office’s efforts to date. He cited confidence in the brand as the reason for DRH’s decision to purchase nine Buffalo Wild Wings units in and around Chicago. The seller and other terms of the deal were not disclosed, but Burke noted that the stores generated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) of $4.5 million on revenues of $32.7 million for 2018.  But how much did they lose?

Buffalo Wild Wings - Three Local Places  Had Better Wings  —  Bottom Line  — 

• Wings are their theme, but I thought it was a bit pricey, a nice way for a critic to say, “ Too frickin much”  for chicken wings.  When you measured them against their zillion or so varieties of sauce, who cares, cheap wings with little meat,  no meat on the wings. You are paying for sauce, expensive sauce.    They brag about, super small cheap wings)  which was nothing spectacular.  They were a low grade wing smothered in concoctional sauces that might just be sitting around for days.
  
  
• When we survey, looking for the best you develop a sense of what a good wing is and what a commercial grade B price per pound of imported frozen Chinese Chicken, Indonesia, Thailand or All Of Europe is.    Theirs was the latter but like we say after the third beer, anything can taste good.  Maybe morons and lots of beer make them taste better and louder, the noise levels are high and my guests on three occasions never felt comfortable there.
  
  
• This is a loud unclean sports bar and wings are sports food, sort of a culinary Neanderthal, not quite Cro-Magnon touch to the noisy hooping and hollering male communion called “a Sports Bar”.   Basically quality food is superseded by the essential of a myriad of sauces and very cold beer.  Healthy?  
  No nothing in there is healthy, it’s sports food.  Lots of salt and deep frying, creates very few healthy choices on the menu here.  The “ sports enthusiasts”  had bellies, some huge bellies told the whole story.
  
  
• The salad was a prepackaged mix, commonly used by chains but some of whom made the salmonella list this year.  I don’t want bagged salad with dressings in packages hand shoveled onto a plate.  If I had a nickel every time I saw a ungloved hand grab salad and throw it on a plate I would be rich.
  
  
• When we entered the newly opened establishment, located at the Largo Mall it was brand new clean and had all the BWW Corpo decorations.  I asked for a table far from the bar realizing I couldn’t even hear myself.   Shortly we were seated, as no one else was on line to get in.    Seating took maybe five minutes in Largo.    In Sarasota it took ten minutes to be acknowledged, another ten to get seated.  What we call “ Who’s Up’ by the waitresses.   In Palm Harbor less time but it took longer to order because we had to scream over the noise. None were that busy, badly trained help.   
  
  
• Finally after ten minutes someone, I suppose the server realized we were there.  A young typical college age server with the vocabulary of the times, “ Hey wazzup yuse guys”, or “ youz guys”, and so forth.   
  
  
• Bad super bad employee training…we ordered 10 wings, half of them sweet Teriyaki  and half Parmesan cheese, with celery, blue cheese and two burgers for the entree.  Thirty-five minutes later they arrived by a different server. Sounds like the kitchen was no better than the servers…
  
  
• We did not see our waitress nor the food for almost 35 minutes.  Neither did the other tables around us with four waitresses and they were not that busy at all. In fact one of the managers was busing the food out so something was not right.  The water never got refilled till we were leaving like an afterthought, tip time. 
  
  
• The wings were small, either grade three or four.  Way too crispy and overcooked.  The saving grace was drowning them in the commercial blue cheese.  They tasted fried to death, dried to death, probably sat under the heat lights too long and shrunken is the best word.  We left two as basically inedible. 
  
  
• The burgers were horrid, basically overcooked beyond the 165 Fahrenheit, no pink at all, just shrunk and brown throughout. One of the worst burgers I had this year even giving Wendy’s competition for the worst.  And the tab was outrageous for the quality and service.  Three strikes…  This was not worth 32.00.  Service was poor. Food was horrible. Prices were high.
