I've got a journalistic background and I'll be the first one to say that the reader shouldn't always believe the story he or she has read unless you know of the writer's reputation and it's at least a good one. From what I've been finding out, and it's just been recently that I have, Spike Mendelsohn is the boy genius of the culinary world these days. Why would he jeopardize his reputation as such by not paying his bills? With the continued exposure he is getting for his reputation as a brilliant chef, especially with the exposure he's getting on the Food Network, he is in the public eye, a true celebrity as there ever was one. Why would he want to put a blemish on such a positive reputation that he has built for himself? This leads me to believe that the writer of this article either had a run-in with Mr. Mendelsohn and is holding a grudge which he held through the writing of this article or didn't research his story enough, both which make for extremely poor journalistic writing. So, those nay-sayers out there who are holding on ever word of this article and saying that they are no longer going to eat at one of Spike Mendelsohn's restaurants because of what is said in this article are being ignorant. Besides, this incident that the writer of this article tells about has nothing to do with Spike Mendelsohn the chef. So, with that being said, stop being so ignorant you nay-sayers!

Wow. People love to talk about other people they do not even know. Calling names, telling people to 'grow up' on an internet message board...hmmm. Who needs to grow up? Quit caring so much about other peoples lives/misfortunes. I also agree w/ the person who questioned the choice of this topic for discussion here at all. C'mon now.

Sounds like most of these posts are from bitter former employees of Zach's. Your business got bought out, move on. Seems like this whole issue got blown out of proportion and quite frankly isn't even news worthy.

Okay Bobby- If no one cares about Spike screwing his landlords over or the fact that he fired Zachs staff- why is this the top blog and have so many responses? Don't post if your just going to bitch about nothing.

I cant believe this is considered "news" and this is what you people chose to spend your time talking about, it humors me haha who really cares who is paying rent. If you dont own the building why do you care. I never met Spike or his co-workers but i personally dont care if they pay their rent or not, just keep making burgers. They're delicious.

Spike's burgers are pretty damn good. I don't know if he doesn't pay his rent or if he can successfully execute a sublet agreement. I do know for a fact that the day he took over Zack's he fired the entire bar staff and tossed them out on their asses.

Charming, Spike, you jackass.
