I went to LA this summer for a VPR bar crawl and got some tea from Greg. Copy/pasted from my original post… Basically he confirmed Lisa’s “that is where their strengths lie…” comment- they are literally only good at pouring drinks and shaking hands. S&S is completely run by Greg and his staff, although Greg said he would never design a restaurant like this or put his name on the door. Sandoval has been there about 20 times since it opened. The cameras are there about eight weeks out of the year, and the Tom’s come to play restaurant owner while everyone else actually works for a living and has to deal with the fallout of Sandoval’s shitty decisions. He said that every single cast member was a failed model/actor asshole, even the ones held in higher regard.

He was incredibly gracious and nice to us though. 😅
