TRUMP GRILL WORST RESTAURANT IN AMERICA

Trump has a feud with VF going back to 1992. Here's a more realistic review:

The thing between Trump and Vanity Fair goes way back. Trump hates Graydon Carter for calling him a "short fingered vulgarian" in Spy magazine back in the 80's. Then he took over VF in 1992. When Carter got into the restaurant business he and Trump have taken turns panning each others' places for years. It's just an old bitchfight between a couple rich guys.

some quotes from the review:

>Our waiter, coiffed and charming, was determined to gaslight us into thinking we were having a good time. “Trump gets the taco bowl and the lasagna and baked ziti,” he said, before subsequently informing the table that we could not order the lasagna or baked ziti. I asked the waiter what Trump’s children eat. He didn’t seem to understand the question, or, like Marco Rubio, appeared unable to depart from his prescribed talking points.“Oh, I’ve shaken hands with him before, and they’re pretty normal-sized hands,” he responded.

[Anonymous No.8374036]

>>8374032
>"The allure of Trump’s restaurant, like the candidate, is that it seems like a cheap version of rich. The inconsistent menus—literally, my menu was missing dishes that I found on my dining partners’—were chock-full of steakhouse classics doused with unnecessarily high-end ingredients. The dumplings, for instance, come with soy sauce topped with truffle oil, and the crostini is served with both hummus and ricotta, two exotic ingredients that should still never be combined. The menu itself would like to impress diners with how important it is, randomly capitalizing fancy words like “Prosciutto” and “Julienned” (and, strangely, ”House Salad”)."

It's about the same level of terrible and overpriced. But as of this moment both are profitable. Because there is a kind of rich diner who doesn't care about the quality of the food. They just want to eat at the place where they know they'll be dining with other people like them. This is how the Rainbow Room and the 21 Club have stayed in business. The Cipriani restaurants actually have OK food, but their crazy prices keep out all but the ultra rich, so they become go to spots for that crowd.

The bottom line is that in a place like NYC plenty of very expensive places can do well serving food that ranges from the comically bad to the mediocre as long as certain kinds of wealthy people consider them destination spots. (Of course the wealthy people who are actually into good food are dropping the same $$$ to eat at places where the food is actually good as well. My point is good food is not a prerequisite to attracting rich people - Trump's brand has exploited the fact than plenty of rich people have shit taste for years).

No. That's the trick. They *think* they are; or they've saved up and are, at that exact moment, cash rich. But "rich"? No.

Donald has made a lot of money from convincing lower-middle and working class people that they're being "up market" buying his tat, and this is just another example of this. Make it sound fancy, make it superficially look "classy" and rake in those honest, hard-worked for dollars.

I disagree. Donald's brand has made a lot of money off people who managed to become relatively wealthy but never cultivated anything beyond lower middle and working class tastes. Lower middle and working class people do not buy $20+ hamburgers ever, because for that price they expect a steak. Trump's brand is all about saying "you can afford to spend the money, but you're not such a pleb as to actually give a shit about what you're getting for it". The act of spending the money is all that counts, because being able to do so is proof you're a winner.

Calling him out on this shit back in the 80's is exactly why he has the ongoing feud with Graydon Carter and Vanity Fair. This has been Trump's thing from the start - tacky displays of opulence. This is a guy who had a suit, boots and a limo all in matching burgundy back in the day.

The best food writers always give you a sense of their personality. This is for good reason. Different people value different things in restaurants. For example Sietsema at Eater NY: He wrote for Gourmet back in the day and the Voice, but his thing has always been adventurous cheap eats, and when he reviews an upscale place he always zeroes in on the food. He puts that up front in his reviews to show if you're someone more concerned with image or ambiance he might not be the food writer you ought to be reading.

And let's not forget that while to the rest of the country Trump might only be as fresh as his reality shows to New Yorkers this dude is has been a character on the scene for over forty years. Having an opinion about him as a New Yorker is likely something you've had for most or all of your life, as far as most of us are concerned. He represents a very specific kind of real estate development that manages to be grandiose and tacky at the same time. Saying his restaurants are in line with that is hardly a political statement here.

Motives are inconsequential if the facts are true. Saying you won't believe facts because the person saying them may have a bias is inane and dangerous.

I don't like Trump but if he says something and it's true then there's no reason to not believe him. Good thing I don't have to worry much about that, though.

The very little we know about Trump's wealth is that it's highly exaggerated, and based on shady business practices that involve moving his own money around, fucking over his investors/employees, and filing bankruptcy after removing whatever funds he can at the last minute. He's a showman and a conman, and if that's actually news to you than you're in for more of a disappointment over the next 4 years (assuming he actually gets into office) than the people who literally cried when he won the electoral vote.

Not American so I don't really have a side on this shitty debate, but have you ever met a rich person? They are always buying useless flashy shit and shouting everyone holidays just because they can (or want people to think they can). We went on a camping holiday once with some rich cunt, he had to stay back for a meeting or some shit, had his girlfriend drive out with us, then he came in on a helicopter to the middle of nowhere 2 days later.

Sure there are some extremely rich people who live modestly and stay out of the public eye, but there are just as many like Trump.

Trump wants to be on a different level than that kind of rich. Think Warren Buffett rich, where your wealth alone makes you a celebrity, and then compare how Warren Buffett acts compared to Trump.

Warren Buffett goes to a boxing match, sits in the cheaper seats, and they put a camera on him because he's famous. Trump goes to a boxing match and makes a deal to have his name in the background and get in the ring during the announcement.

Because it's about the country coming together after a year plus of divisive campaigning to accept the president elect for the next 4 years - to accept and celebrate the process of democracy and say things are going to be stable. The fact that nobody wants to celebrate Trump's election means that people aren't content with the outcome with the election and don't think that democracy really won out this time.

That's a rich person who grew up with poor sensibilities, usually found in the entertainment and sports industries. You don't see bankers and hedge fund guys acting like that so much. And you almost never see people from families that have been wealthy for generations behaving that way.

>The "facts" of a subjective food review of a restaurant that is run by someone that the reviewer hates?
The fact is that Trump's restaurants are exactly in line with his persona, which is no surprise, but makes for an interesting arc when writing a piece about them. His restaurants are a tribute to expense for its own sake, without much attention paid to the food itself because that's beside the point. The point is people eat there solely because they can afford to - it's an end in itself. That's the essence of the Trump brand. Pointing that out is hardly a political act in a town that's known this guy for over four decades.
