Abe Saffron also known as Mr. But this by far has been the sketchiest looking one. The mother was a complete nut, have never seen someone with such disdain for so many people. THAT IS THE ONLY REASON I USED TO BOTHER TO WATCH, IN ORDER TO GET THE CREATIVE, UNIQUE, EXPERT, SECRET, FABULOUS, AMAZING, GREAT, AND DELICIOUS RECIPES, AND ALL THE INFORMATION PERTAINING TO THEM. First everyone has recieved thier inheritance. I admit that I have started to feel a bit guilty afterwards. OF COURSE ITS STAGED HONEY. S03E06 Le Bistro Lighthouse Point, FL 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. S01E02 The Runaway Girl Sheffield, England, season 1 7/10 This was 6-7 months before Gordon Ramsay went to Burger Kitchen to see Alan Saffron working in the restaurant. WOW!! Alan insists that he can prove it, and Gordon humors the idea that Yelp has a plot to close their business. I was curious, so I have been doing some research, and this guy does not hold a candle to the European Culture and Beliefs that we have been exposed to.. he is a total disgrace. Im pretty sure the guests get paid a certain amount, so the chefs $1,000 check is the least of their worries. 16 months later the restaurant is not doing good and they are in debt. but she ended up being interviewed on TV stations. Ramsay genuinely saw it on the desk in the office and the producers decided to use it. MAYBE THATS WHY THIS SHOW, AS WELL AS OTHERS, IS OFF THE AIR NOW. Create an account to follow your favorite communities and start taking part in conversations. So on Fridays I set my DVR to record one of my favorite shows starring one of my favorite people. It was a two-part episode that spanned Kitchen Nightmares Season 5 Episode 6 and Episode 7. Jurisdiction: CALIFORNIA The Burger Kitchen was a Los Angeles, California restaurant featured on Season 5 of Kitchen Nightmares. The burgers are never cooked right and are always sent back. WE QUIT WATCHING THOSE TV SHOWS, THE MOVIES, AND THE NO-TALENT HACKS IN THEM, LONG AGO. Now, I will go back to the grandfather later because he plays an important role. Just watched this episode again and decided to waste my evening Googling the Saffron family and reading up about them. S04E04 Grasshopper Also Carlstadt, NJ S02E05 J Willys South Bend, IN **closed** There are three chiefs and four Indians in the kitchen, the staff frequently jokes. this is just an opinion blog. I at least got one good laugh from all the drama.. and for those who think Alan should have gone to jail, well I think Daniel was in from the start, and the only one who can prosecute Alan is Daniel and you know Daniel is not going to do that. I DONT LIKE WHEN CHEFS START MAKING CRAP THAT PEOPLE DONT NEED, WANT, OR WOULD EVER MAKE EITHER, LIKE TONS OF FISH RECIPES WE CAN ALREADY GET ANYWHERE ON THE INTERNET. Not for one second did I believe anything that he said from his heart. Im glad I found this article! I say its completely plausible. f you dont like the owners you can leave, you know. S05E11 Spin-A-Yarn Steakhouse Fremont, CA Alexis Sorbas Lieferservice Essen bestellen ber mjam in Wien Online & per App Hier die Speisekarte It seems vastly different than other shows, and 2 shows, which seemed more like a Dr Phil show. It was all so over the top. Most of the customer reviews cited slow service (EXTREMELY slow services in some cases, with a meal taking more than an hour to arrive) as well as the tough meats, although the fries were almost always critically acclaimed and praised. S02E08 Sabatiellos Stamford, CT **closed** Who knows, maybe Im wrong though. Does this new company own alot of restaurants in town? Yeah, what an asshole for stealing money from his son. The book was not for promotion but interest only as Gordon saw it on the office desk and asked about it. I would surmise that the saffrons living in the states only received about 700,000 total. Does he live with his wife and Daniel? Either wayits annoying! I could see how Alan had had a strokeI couldnt place what was off about him (apart from the obviously odd personality). This was hollywood, the father is a show business agent. They will certainly know how delicate the balance is. He then says that Alan has been watching too many James Bond movies. I am happy to found your blog and read about it. Good blooging by the way though! UNDERWORLD identity Abe Saffron has been dead for five years but a dispute has erupted over the right to $8 million in assets the executors of his estate didnt know about at the time of his death. S01E04 Moore Place Esher, England **sold, now Esteem**, S02E01 La Lanterna Letchworth, England **closed** Just dont be like most internet trolls and say such of Ramsay ruining them by them being on the show, or his help not being enough such people seem to love to overlook how much these places were quoted as being in debt already, and the fact that theres been a recession going on for quite the while thats gonna devour people and places with that kind of debt outstanding. And another questionif Daniel did not want to go into the business, how do you explain his reply on the website above? Thats 410K So I guess he had blown the rest of it on stupid crap. Will the REAL Burger Kitchen please stand up!!! Who knows. Someone that can be so passionate is wonderful. Staged enough for the cameras, they can say and admit to anything they want. Their heads frequently butt, and Daniel has a great deal of resentment towards Daniel. Daniel mentioned that he invested and was glad his father forced him into the business but this was edited. S05E13 Cafe Hon Baltimore, MD It was a fun read. .whatever it is, PaPa Saffon took a quarter of the million, IF THATS THE TRUTH? Contrary to popular belief, ignorance is not a gift. We cannot blame the son for the sins of the father but what an interesting man Abe Saffron was! The whole family is FUBAR, and I understand that being the son of an Australian crime boss cant lead to a healthy father/son relationship, but that man has serious mental issues. that might reveal a strained relationship in which the father wasnt too interested in leaving Alan a bigger amount. Create a free website or blog at WordPress.com. I do enjoy this blog and the comments. To the person who thinks I am boarder trolling..not sure exactly what that is, but you are anaonymous too.. so what are you quacking about now??? Holy fucking shit. Further, Daniel was not given a proper partnership. Even IF those calculations were wrong, remember thats IF, how would it in anyway invalidate any other points that were made in this blog. You be the judge. 3/2/12 UPDATE UPDATE: According to Yelp, Burger Kitchen is now CLOSED: http://www.yelp.com/biz/burger-kitchen-los-angeles, Curious about how much the Burger Kitchen menu changed after Chef Ramsays visit? Consequently it came as no real surprise to me when [executor Victor] Bogan told me in late 2010 that a further property had been found and realised, contributing at least another $1 million to the estate. the chef was as fake as you can get. ANYWAY, I HIGHLY DOUBT TOM KERRIDGE IS GOING TO BE AROUND LONG, AS THE REALLY GOOD CHEFS HAVE A WAY OF SLOWLY DISAPPEARING ON THESE FOOD CHANNELS. In & Out Aussie Burgers is being sued by US burger chain In-N-Out in the Federal Court. The location was shut down in February after an employee shared photos and videos of dead rats and mice in the kitchen. chef Ramsey is going to open a restaurant at the GROVE, less than 1/2 a mile away from Burger Kitchen! So I should believe that from 1 to 3 half weeks, this man has been terrorized by the Saffrons, not being able to do his own recipes, grown to loathe and bully them. BUT HE SHOULD DO EVEN MORE. He had asked for medium-rare, which means a little pink. Since then the USD has devalued and the Aussie Dollar has strengthened markedly 500k Aussie Dollar back then would have converted to around USD 350k, if there wre any incidentl costs or taxes this would potentially have brought the inheritance down to the USD referenced in the show. Not to mention that Abe had already invested in all of Alans business like his failed 1990s toy store business here: http://articles.latimes.com/1995-02-02/news/we-27315_1_toy-empire In the end, Burger Kitchen is just another failed business for Alan. Him demanding his paycheck and the family worried how they will afford to get $1,000 dollars for the paycheck. for your blog feel free to ask https://www.facebook.com/agsaffron Sometimes Im still in disbelief of the family. Although it is not traditionally scripted, it is still written, with planned scenes, themes, character arcs, and so forth. S04E06 Down City Providence, RI **Closed** I mean its just a show right? EVEN THOUGH THE RESTAURANT IS NOW CLOSED, I DID WRITE A COMMENT ON THEIR YELP PAGE AND POSTED IT A COUPLE OF HOURS AGO. Specialties: Artisan Sandwiches, Melts, Burgers, Salads, Tacos, Tortas, Cakes, Pastries all Homemade with Certified Organic ingredients & Sourced Locally Established in 2015. Form the patties with care. A million $$ is not that much money anymoreafter inheritance taxes etc Im not sure what you are left with. I agree about the UK version being more real. As far as are they there now, probably the house hasnt been sold in a long time. S03E04 La Gondola Derby, England **sold**, S04E01 La Parra de Burriana Nerja, Spain **closed** Lo and behold, you had to throw in the political nonsense. S01E06 Sebastians Toluca Lake, CA **closed** I am an american product of my English Immigrant families, but I have to tell you. 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. About $53,000 a year. And hey, if the Saffrons have no problem with it, I wont be bothered if some random guy from London has a problem with it I WATCHED THESE CHANNELS FROM THE VERY FIRST MOMENT THEY AIRED ON TV, AND THEY USED TO HAVE PRETTY GOOD COOKING SHOWS ON THEN, ONES THAT HAD SOME REALLY GOOD CHEFS AND COOKS AND RECIPES ON THEM, BUT NOT NOW. I DONT KNOW WHY, UNLESS IT WAS A JEALOUSY THING, BUT I SAY TOO BAD. The parents can admit to anything but judging on how nothing they say can be trusted theyre just words for a show that the dad is trying to get a show/movie about. SHOP DANIEL BOULUD KITCHEN. Alan Saffron Assets chase Abe Saffrons son Alan / Pic: Melanie Russell Source: The Daily Telegraph Thanks Steve!! Thank you for gracing us with your comment. I'm guessing it wasn't just $250K per person like the episode said. Status: SUSPENDED, SAFFRON MANAGEMENT, INC. Im sure its not the first KN episode to be rife with secrets and lies, but I found what you uncovered to be truly illuminating. S04E04 Morgans Liverpool, England, S05E01 Ruby Tates Brighton, England **closed** Well, theyre not on Kitchen Nightmares for free! He channelled much of his profits into property. You are quite correct, Dan. 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. A show about his Alan and his familymaybe not so much. I know that sounds ridiculous but I can reasonably believe what you said. I wonder if his son finally got the money back that he was entitled to. I hope Daniel gets a good job somewhere and forgets about free money that he inherited easy come, easy go! And I did mention how it was $1 mill in 2007 money. 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. Im not questioning his dislike of the owners but I am questioning how can an executive chef, an adult who has to worry about bills etc.. work in the spirit of being paid meaning that all the time he worked there he had not gotten paid at all. Alan does not know why. If this fails, we fail, and its as simple as that. The kitchen is not happy about this. To a filming company, wouldnt this be tempting and potentially rewarding to star a family with links to such a notorious character? The story about how Daniel never wanted to be involved in the business and got his $250k taken away by his father (which forced him to work at the restaurant). 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. S05E07 Curry Lounge Nottingham, England I dont think this show is stage at all. I wonder how much of it was staged? thank you for that on a Monday morning. Please tell all, i would love to know. But his dad.. what a scoundrel. 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. I have done extensive research of my own, and this saga is even crazier than you can believe I feel bad for Daniel cause I think he got railroaded in, but he is was in from the beginning, and he did sign his name to official documents, but he did sign I am not privy to go into the details right now. I just feel that this particular Kitchen Nightmares episode with this family was just so much different than the other families. WHAT A COMPLETE WASTE!! A giant container ship, almost as long as New York's Empire State Building is high, became wedged during a sandstorm last Tuesday in Egypt's Suez Canal. He was a very interesting man, very brilliant to build an empire like he did. If I were a client of his and saw Kitchen Nightmares I would be finding different representation and fast. Some good points J thanks for the input. S04E03 Rococo Kings Lynn, England **closed** 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. Burger Kitchen is run by an incompetent owner who used money from his son's trust fund to keep it going, but between that, a frustrated chef, bad and undercooked food, over five thousand in Burger Kitchen is run by an incompetent owner who used money from his son's trust fund to keep it going, but between that, a frustrated chef, bad and undercooked food, over five thousand in loses each month, and the annoying wife/co-owner, things are about to go nuclear See production, box office & company info, Burger Kitchen - 8048 West 3rd Street - Los Angeles, California, USA. Thanks . Naturally show producers need to suggest and add things to make things more juicy for the viewers. Curious, but there is more.. are we being a bit passive/agreesive here.? The US version only proves that most of the owners want Chef Ramsays help so they can sell up or be on tv. I dont know if all that is true but I have to say after reading Abe Saffrons story on Wikipedia, I rather like him as an interesting figure. An effort to have a film or television series? I do not know Daniels life, nor Alans, but if I was to gather anything out of this, Daniel got screwed by Alan, who in turn screwed himself over royally by his past actions.
