I don't consider what I've written as "bitch"ing to the world. Am I a fool? Possibly. But I'm honest and fair, and do everything I can, as an owner and boss, to provide a great environment.<BR/><BR/>When I fail, I tend to analyze the reasons why and not just blame it on someone else. I clearly failed in instilling a sense of pride in the Tiedhouse staff; making them want to do a good job. I'll leave it at that. <BR/><BR/>I strive to provide insight into the challenges and frustrations of running a restaurant. If it serves to put me out of business, I suppose I deserve it. But, as Andy wrote, everyone has a breaking point. Perhaps "these things" end badly for people writing them because by the time they've reached their breaking points, it's already too late.<BR/><BR/>I'm going to seriously consider the topic(s) of my rants and perhaps going dark. To me though, being misunderstood is more painful than being hated for who I am. Maybe I'm in the wrong business.Christopher Leonardnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7315262155858800734.post-24832031081943426392009-04-08T14:10:00.000-04:002009-04-08T14:10:00.000-04:00Seems if it wasn't for his staff and customers he ...Seems if it wasn't for his staff and customers he would've had a wonderful time running a restaurant.Bill in Hbgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7315262155858800734.post-25004438088166942872009-04-08T14:04:00.000-04:002009-04-08T14:04:00.000-04:00Man, is it me or do these types of blogs never end...Man, is it me or do these types of blogs never end well for the people writing them? In reading some of his other posts, I can't say, as a person who has visited the Lafayette, that they make me want to return. Frustrated as a business owner may be, it seems a better idea to vent to a spouse, friend, or private listserv than to bitch to the world. But I don't run his business, maybe there's only so much you can take.Andy Crouchhttp://www.beerscribe.comnoreply@blogger.com
