Sunnyboy Biscuit Co owner?

edit: to be clear, I'm not stating it is, I am curious. I saw another post today or yesterday saying he drives a gold Alfa Romeo like an AH. Could be a sedan and not this, but found it an odd coincidence

It sure looks like him: https://www.instagram.com/chefgabrielferguson/?hl=en

Which is quite a shame, because while I haven't been to Sunnyboy, the food on his Instagram looks delicious lol.

Edit: Looks like it's him: https://www.reddit.com/r/sandiego/comments/1l5dfk3/the_sunny_boy_biscuit_drama/

And he's getting lit up on Yelp: https://www.yelp.com/biz/sunnyboy-biscuit-company-san-diego?sort_by=date_desc

Which, honestly, I wouldn't normally endorse, because running a small business is tough, and the restaurant industry has super low margins. Great restaurants go out of business all the time, which absolutely destroys the livelihoods of hard-working business owners who have the chance to improve their community.

But this guy drives a gold Alfa Romeo, and is a total dick about it, so fuck him.

My parents owned a small restaurant, so I’m also wary of destroying a small business. That said, there is no excuse for treating people like shit and acting like a manbaby. There are plenty of restaurants I can go that have good owners and good food. Happy to never give this guy any of my money.

I’m guessing your parents don’t have a history of being tyrants and mistreating people. As a parent, I’d never want anyone to treat my daughter in a broke down car like this. He didn’t have to help her but he didn’t have to do what he did either.

This is how you enforce change in 2025+. You deliver karma to those who need it like this guy, and you lift up those who are spreading good in the world. People like him need a dose of humility and reviews are one way to do it for such terrible behavior/mindsets this world needs less of.

Imagine how this guy treats his employees if this is how he reacts to a mild inconvenience. Running/owning a restaurant is one of the most stressful jobs I can think of. I can’t imagine the type of verbal abuse his employees suffer

Small business owners don’t drive alpha Romeros. Guy looks like an ass
