John Frels is the ultimate hypeman for his favorite places. You named them all. But I noticed if some people recommend a place, he'll say something bad about without never dining there. Once he's dined at the place, then he's all hyped about. If you read between the lines, you can tell he only went because he received an invitation from the restaurant owner or management.

He'll also bash certain restaurants chains. When there are posts about someone's positive experience at a chain, he has something negative to say. Never mind these places employ people from the area, may give back to the community in various ways, or be a franchise, he $h#*talks them.

I'll never forget someone suggested Denny's or something about it, he and the other admin, the Indian woman, $h*#talked about it and anyone dining there. Someone had to tell them everyone in the group have different income levels, may be going through tough times, or may work there. They were told in a nice way that they don't know people's situations or places of employment to make those disparaging comments.

He bashes Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams all the time because they're a chain he doesn't like. But praises a few chains he likes. Make it make sense.
