But it was great advertising because people loved them and would call ahead to see if we had them that night. But since we only sold fresh crab claws and the crab beds are now so depleted by pollution, we could seldom get many, if any, and therefore it was not a significant cost. We sold them, I think, for $12.95 a pound. Is Ed unique? Well, I guess if you call someone who just celebrated his 39th wedding anniversary, has two great kids (one at SMU and one a recent law grad), assembled one of the largest McDonald’s groups in the world, is modest to a fault and with Lee gives very generously of both time and money to many, many charities without any fanfare, yes, that would be unique in our world.Īnd about those crab claws, when I owned Patrizio, we gave them away as a loss leader because everyone loved them. I’m probably qualified to express an opinion since I spent two months negotiating and closing the complicated deal for our company to sell him and his wife Lee the two Patrizio restaurants. I think Ed Bailey is one of the nicest guys I’ve met since I’ve been in Dallas. To My Friends at FrontBurner: In the spirit of fairness, four months after the sale of the Patrizio, here’s my take on Ed Bailey. Supply-side economics aside, Jack would like to have a say. We all know Parkies love themselves some crab claws and were miffed when the portion decreased while the price increased. Original owner Jack Knox had just passed the front door keys to new owner Ed Bailey.
On June 29, I posted remarks from disgruntled Patrizio fans. This just in from Nancy Nichols, who’s having technical difficulties today, as she sits at home eating bon bons while she recovers from surgery.
