People can always be angry about things- but that will keep them from ever being happy. What is your solution now? Revert it back to toxic hull? This is good for Tallahassee – and good for you.

Perhaps it is time for the FDLE to take a look at this. They still investigate over there, don’t they?

Wagyu is “Faux-be” Kobe meat:

Excerpt:
”
Real Kobe beef is from a very specific breed of cow – and surprise, it is not Wagyu. In fact, Wagyu is not even a breed. Not that it matters much here, but actual Kobe beef comes from the Tajima-gyu breed – and by law, only from that breed. Wagyu, on the other hand, means “Japanese Cattle” and refers to the entirety of the nation’s breeds. Of course, Japan has many Western and European cattle breeds – if I ship a cow that lives down the road from me in Vermont to Tokyo and it spends more than half its life there, it becomes Japanese cattle – but never Kobe. Some argue, with a bit of merit that Wagyu refers only to a narrower subset of historically Japanese breeds. Even if this is true it doesn’t change the fact that they are breeds not allowed in Kobe beef. So when I see the term Wagyu on a menu here I know exactly what it means: beef of largely unknown origin that is almost certainly overpriced – and not from Japan.”

Cancelling your daily fishwrapper means, pardon the pun, that your light bulb no longer is being dimmed, As for “The Cronyson”, I’d sooner starve to death than eat there.
Can’t wait to see who the 1% or more investors are. Especially if it can be proven one of them is the mayor, which would be a huge story, if so.

Sure it is expensive. But it is for a specialized kind of hamburger, and given that regular hamburgers of that size are $7, it doesn’t seem out of line.

I think I’d pay $15 to see what is up with the wagyu, which I will never be able to afford in any other form..

Preston Scott says experienced restaurant owners who have seen the Edison business plan do not see it as realistic or sustainable. The sad thing is that when the Edison goes out of business, some of the invested money lost is from Tallahassee taxpayers. Tallahassee could be a great place to live, but the pervasive, ugly stain of city government corruption affects all of us, our wallets and our neighborhoods. It hangs over the city like a cloud of pollution.

Start documenting with photos and videos and get it to TR and the local news stations. This cannot go on.

Keep up the pressure. Sorry our tax dollars were used for this.

However, there are some non-optional costs that are being dumped on the Myers Park Historic District right next door:
1. The staff (parking which should be in a lot provided by the restaurant) amounts to approximately 30 vehicles on nearby South Gadsden Street, and Van Buren Street. Staff starts showing up mid-to late-afternoon. They change clothes next to their car and walk to work, leaving close-by neighborhood residents with no on-street parking for guests and visitors. These staff come back at various hours, well into the early morning, sometimes very loudly, and some leave a trail of litter from late night snacks. They are not welcome, as far as I’m concerned. Myers Park Historic Distract is not a commercial parking lot.
However, as a property owner, I can’t decline this activity like a cheeseburger.

2. No restaurant in Tallahassee can get a construction permit unless there is a bona-fide place and plan for the garbage dumpster on-site. EXCEPT, The Edison….
Wait staff, or busboys, haul their train of half dozen 40-gallon trash cans over the railroad tracks and into Myers Park Historic Neighborhood, where the city has built a nice concrete apron for the huge, smelly dumpster at the end of Van Buren Street. This is very much not welcome in Myers Park. Our neighborhood is not a garbage holding facility.

There are real costs to having to put up with this in the Myers Park Neighborhood. Property values are hurt, the neighborhood ambiance is damaged, and the long term result will be whatever becomes of any back door dumping ground for a large business–the unrelenting pressure towards slumhood.

The first and foremost thing that comes to mind every day when another outrage from this restaurant is happening is what really crooked and dishonest commissioners we have in our city and county. I suspect they’ve given the Growth Management people carte blanche to waive any standard that others would have to meet. I hope someone can find the evidence necessary to dish out real consequences to these politicians.
