These casual references to Nazis are very upsetting to those of us whose family members are Holocaust survivors. Joking about it and comparing the deletion of a post about a restaurant to the slaughter of 6 million people is really inappropriate. Having heard this interview, I'm thinking that Pat would agree.

In ten years, he thinks, they will be trusted Chowhound regulars who will then submit rave reviews of all his crummy restaurants. But the ten years on Chowhound changes the children, who refuse to do the boss's bidding unless he opens restaurants serving authentic, well-prepared dishes from Mexico, Thailand etc. "Who cares if it's authentic if it tastes good??" roars the enraged restaurant boss.
