Is the food as to edible as Mencia is to comedy?

Because if it's directly proportional, the hazmat team is going to be needed to dispose of it...

Let me guess: beans, beans and beans?

I hate Joe's commercials. My particular favorite is the one where the kids and father in some family each says (I presume) "oh shiat!" for no apparent reason, but the way they've shot the commercial has the audio and the video cutting to a reaction shot from the mother immediately after the "oh!". You can't even tell why she looks horrified.

It's also the only location where people don't come up to him and say, "'Hey Carlos, say something funny.' That's because they are already happy realistic."

FTFY, Carlos.

I'd much rather frequent this establishment and these owners.

I need my human meat fix.

I believe he owns a restaurant here in New Orleans. I know no one down here that's ever gone there. So no.
 
2010-08-02 05:11:19 PM
I'd eat there if I were interested in the menu and atmosphere, regardless of who owned it -shrug-
I would make sure Fark knew I went there and enjoyed it, just because so many people here dislike him.

I wouldn't eat at a Canadian restaurant if you paid me.

In Canadian McDonald's all the burgers are made from moose meat and acorns . You Americans are so used to the cardboard and dairy cow udders you just can't appreciate gourmet cuisine.

Thank God Dane Cook hasn't opened up a restaurant.

FTFA: "It just so happens I am a comedian and an actor. If I lost my voice tomorrow and I was unable to do that, I would fall on my feet. I would find something else to do, and I would be successful at it."

Seriously? You were caught lying and stealing. Now, you're apparently snapping up post-disaster property and opening restaurants on it. Goddamned bottom feeder.
 
2010-08-02 06:51:12 PM
I wonder who he will hire to work in the kitchen?
 
2010-08-02 06:58:41 PM
Short answer: no.

Long answer: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH, faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaark no.
 
2010-08-02 06:59:07 PM
No.

FTFA: After a four year run on Comedy Central with "Mind of Mencia," which took dead aim at ethnic stereotypes, family situations and challenged the politically correct mind set...

*snert*

Well, he said "beaner" a lot. I guess to his audience that's "challenging."
 
2010-08-02 06:59:57 PM
Let me just get in a word for Joe's Crab Shack. Try the fish & chips. Farkin' Fantastic. Now, back to the thread.

Even Margaret Cho has done more for comedy than that schmuck.
 
2010-08-02 07:06:49 PM
The restaurant occupies the space at 23rd Street and Harborside Drive abandoned by Fuddrucker's after Hurricane Ike.

He should have named the place Buttfarkers. Save on signage.

he probably couldn't stand eating in a igloo either, and our penchant for putting a inch of maple syrup on top of everything must not sit well with him either. Jokes on him though if he ever eats in the northern US, he's likely eating at a restaurant owned/financed by a Canadian bank or savings union. It's become quite popular for Canadian savings groups to spend the money from our not broken and raped economy on buying franchise restaurants in northern US states. In my personal case our Community Savings group descended on Great Falls like vultures. Some places took half what they were asking, it was like a slaughter.


/EAT AT DENNYS, I plan to retire on American stupidity and lack of taste.

and he's not mexican, not even a little bit. He's half Honduran and all fraud.

Ned Holness. Half German, half Honduran.

He's shameless
 
2010-08-02 07:22:56 PM
Will he serve Honduran food and claim it's Mexican?

just one bite?

Ok - I know it's "cool" to not like this guy on Fark, although I don't know why. All jokes are recycled.

But you'ver gone too far when it is implied in a thread that Margaret Cho is better than him. Just seeing her name in print makes me vomit.

"I have always digged Galveston," Mencia said.

Well, we know he's never stolen a book on grammar.

Ned Holness. Half German, half Honduran.


Honderman?

Given that it's the restaurant business, he'll probably make a small fortune.
 
2010-08-02 07:48:33 PM
Seriously even if you hate him, his two interviews with Marc Maron on WTF are fascinating. It's like Frost/Nixon for comedy nerds.
 
2010-08-02 07:50:26 PM
Don't be surprised if sometime in the near future police spot Joe Rogan outside the restaurant, pouring some gas on the walls and holding a lit match.

theorellior: Thank God Dane Cook hasn't opened up a restaurant.

He did work as a cook in Waiting. And he did say "Welcome to Thunderdome biatch". And that was funny.

But no. I wouldn't support Carlos farkface in the slightest, at all, ever.

If it's an "all-you-can-eat-buffett" and these are his customers... he'll be out of business in a week!
 
2010-08-02 08:19:06 PM
FTA: He would talk to friends all the time about a great chicken burrito he had in Denver and an awesome beef plate he had in another city. Along the way as he talked more and more about food, friends encouraged him to take that passion and turn it into a business.

That's when he hooked up with Moreno.

"He said to me, 'Dude, you love food,'" Mencia said. "He said why not take the best recipes I found and open a restaurant."


Hey, it worked for his comedy career, right?

No, no they aren't. Stealing jokes is a big farking deal to most comedians. Sure, it's understandable that everyone is drawing from the same reality pool, but word for word the same (as some of Carlos' jokes are)? No, that's not cool.

Cho is funnier than Mencia on stage and much, much more personable off (judging from interviews, admittedly).

spoonflipper: Seriously even if you hate him, his two interviews with Marc Maron on WTF are fascinating. It's like Frost/Nixon for comedy nerds.

I avoided those because I thought they'd be uncomfortable, but I would like to listen to them sometimes (uncomfortable interviews are unpleasant listening IMO). Maron and Robin Williams was awesome though, because Maron actually brought up Williams stealing material, and Williams copped to it. I really like Maron's interviews.

I figured Maron would be pretty forgiving of Mencia stealing, as he was with Williams, but still be willing to bring it up and talk about it. Did he bring up race? One of his previous guests said Mencia's comedy crossed the line into hateful with regards to arabs/muslims.

I had to go away from WTF recently because I wanted more lighthearted podcast entertainment, but I'm beginning to get tired of Doug Loves Movies' narrow focus and Comedy Death Ray Radio lets annoying characters take up WAY too much time, so I'll probably be back to WTF soon.
 
2010-08-02 08:44:12 PM
I guess Carlos won't mind if customers walk out on their tabs.
 
2010-08-02 08:44:55 PM
is he going to serve fish sticks?
 
2010-08-02 08:55:01 PM
Is he going to yell the menu at customers?
 
2010-08-02 09:07:01 PM
Way to go "Neddy Holness" from Honduras in opening a Mexican restaurant. So....does that mean he is now stealing the Mexican food concept from the Mexicans?
 
2010-08-02 09:12:55 PM
I understand Joe Rogan has already alerted the health authorities.
 
2010-08-02 09:22:06 PM
Mobbed by fans?
 
2010-08-02 09:32:16 PM
Based on his comedy, he can call it "Ned's House of Rewarmed Vomit."
