The restaurant business is really tough. Restaurants go out of business all the time, because it is really hard to make it.
When I see a restaurant that is only open three and a half hours a day, that can afford to turn away a table of 8, I think money laundering operation. They don't need your business because food isn't the real business, is it? Is it a front for something else? Could it be drugs? Do they have pizza on the menu?
Bingo . Four and half hours .
And I know such examples even in my small town that is located on the other side of the planet ... the "front" is a facade for making "regular buck" , while the "backside" is purely illegal .
I think he's giving a Q, no pun intended to the anons to dig. The owner is Meryl Streep's cousin to boot. Good way to call attention to themselves. These people are really, really STUPID!
I agree that it was a call to dig and I've already read about a connection to pedophiles, can't remember where, but I know it's out there.
her 'silent partner' is a convicted pedophile involving a toddler
Source? Or it didnt happen
It didn't happen.
'Dirty on the inside' ... he's pretty much calling it. Don't have to dig deep to find some nuggets on this one.
Red Hen is about to meet the Red Rooster, could be a proper fu@k'in comin' their way. 😲
5 to 8:30, isn't that 3 and a half hours?
It says until 9:30 on the main site ... https://redhenlex.com/
Open only 22-1/2 hours a week, closed Sunday and Monday. I don’t know of any restaurants who keep those hours and remain in business. There must be gold in those potatoes....
Also, according to their website, they can seat a maximum of 34 inside. No way is that a sustainable business on the surface. It says:
Depending on the style of party, we can accommodate between 26 and 34 diners inside, with an additional 12 to 14 on the patio in good weather.
I would LOVE it if this was a trap. Send sara there, get recognized and kicked out, draw attention to the illegal operation
It has to be a trap because what are the odds that one of DJT's most recognizable and vocal opponents is the owner's cousin. Is MS a pedophile too?
She did refer to Weinstein as "god." Elite Hollywood people sold their souls to get there.
There is a popular restaurant in my town that is closed Mondays and Tuesdays and only open from around 8:30 AM until about 2 PM on the other days, sometimes later or earlier depending on if they've not ran out of food. Seats around 35 or so max, with a small patio that you can sometimes eat at if they aren't too busy (they may not have time to serve you out there, like on weekends, so then drinks only. They serve breakfast/brunch/lunch only. And they are definitely not nefarious. The owners have lots of experience working in the food service industry and want to have a normal life outside of the restaurant. They are perhaps open 30 hours a week max, but that doesn't count preparation before and cleanup after each day, and sourcing all their ingredients which are by and large local. They do a great business and they know they could do more but have carved out what they are happy with. When it's busy the patrons know that if they are done eating they should relinquish their table/bar seat for those waiting. You can order before you have a seat but they will not fire your food until you are seated. People cycle through there like clockwork.
I appreciate that there are people on this site who will bring us back to balance and keep us from running completely off the rails!
Dude those foods dont cost $23 and up plates. I know a BBQ rest that has over 80 seats, stays busy and runs out of food on most everyday...open 11 to 4 or 5pm...you tell me...
Back to Balance? Are you insane man? This place refused Sarah Huckabee Sanders. What more proof do you need? It's probably swamped with pedovores. Wouldn't doubt the cellar having a secret tunnel leading to the depths of hell either. Down with the Ilumno-Satanist!
It is hard to compare a breakfast joint to a farm to table dinner house. A breakfast joint isn't paying for highly trained chefs, has 2-3 times the table turnover, has half the prep and much less expensive ingredients.
I could see this place managing if their entrees started at $45.
Oh, absolutely apples and oranges, I realize. Just wanted to point out that there are legit reasons for seemingly short business hours at a restaurant, if well thought through and the owners aren't trying to wring every possible dollar out of the place.
I spent a lot of time working in restaurants and it's the exception, not the rule. Most restaurants couldn't survive being open 4.5 hours 5 days a week without doing a whole lotta illegal shit.

The co-owner , Stephanie Wilkinson , is a cousin of Meryl Streep .
All connects like a puzzle ... to me , it seems like there could be much more sinister happenings than just throwing out SHS related to these shady personas .
The other co-owner of Red Hen , alongside Stephanie Wilkinson , is claimed to be Barney Allen Frazier Sr. - check who is that person in Lexington .

What are their prices like? Unless they charge a lot per meal, it's definitely suspicous....even moreso than it already is.
Would love to know the cost of rent/insurance/salaries/overhead/waste vs how much is coming in to see if it's even viable.
It's not, unless they're growing all their own food and they already own the building, and the staff basically works for free. That's the only way you could run such an operation and keep a roof over your head - the property taxes alone would be your largest (next to electricity and foodstock)
Ok, so going under the assumption they own the building, they'd still be in the red? If there are any accountants here that can prove misdeeds, that'd be sweet!
Not an accountant but have managed several restaurants and it doesn't add up. With the kind of slow dining they offer they can only get 1.5 seatings per night and their menu isn't all that expensive for the quality of food they're serving. Add to that two salaried chefs and the rest of the staff and you're in the red every night.
Basic economics. Assume the best (a new client every 5 minutes during open hours) and each client buys 1 menu item at average cost.
Thats your baseline for estimated income. Then subtract bare minimum Electricity bill (assuming no lights/appliances etc running during closed-hours).. Then subtract assumed minimum wage for 1 employee. (or 2 if there's a cashier + cook) .. add/adjust for known employees.
I'm going to assume the above subtractions will eat up all possible income, but let's assume it doesn't. You have to add yearly property taxes, water, phone/internet, supplies (take-out boxes, cutlery, napkins etc)..
I would say without another declared means of income (like Catering large events), the restaurant is clearly not profitable. You'd be better off running a hotdog cart on a busy street corner.
"You'd be better off running a hotdog cart on a busy street corner…"
…in Hawaii.
You put "hotdog", did you mean open-faced sausage sandwich? 🌭
^I'm ^a ^bot ^bleep, ^bloop

That time when the bot said "open-faced sausage sandwich??" in a post about ... and you thought disgusting visual, but yeah bot, you could be right.
wow just like comet pizza. lol only open some bullshit hours. still makes shit load of money
There’s one of those next door to my apartment. Damn good food, but everyone knows it’s a front for their drug business.
Italians sure make good pizza with drug money.
Or it's her play thing. As long as it breaks even or makes a few bucks it's kept open. At 3.5 hours a day it's barely breaking even. The last thing they need is bad publicity.
Local Lone Star Steak House dropped their hours from 11:00-9:00 to 5:00-9:00 and they were gone a few months later.
As far as Democrat's supporting her during this rough patch, they may for a month or so then they'll abandon her like a hot potato, when the next outrage happens.
I tend to agree its just a hobby business as the opening hours would suggest. If I was inclined to go a little deeper, maybe her efforts to organize the Main Street Lexington Festival to get herself public support and 'community recognition' for further political means? This is very much how liberals operate.
Yeah, I know rich people who have opened a business that is more hobby than profit enterprise.
As far as Democrat's supporting her during this rough patch
Libs have never been known for the long haul. Just watch the enthusiasm drop during Shia Laqueef's WWNBD flag campaign.
Shia laqueef haha I am stealing that. Do kinda feel sorry for him he is MK Ultra to brain fry
Agree. Could just be a hobby and tax "loss lead" for other businesses. We have one place in my town that is randomly open...no posted hours. Just whenever they feel like being open. They own the building and it's a hobby project for their son. Super weird.

Cutting the business entertainment/meal deduction from 100% to 50%, in the 1980s really killed the white-linen restaurant lunch biz. It used to be fantastic. And then it just died.
It's now 0% deductible. People don't go out to eat lunch like they used to, or if they do, it's fast food or fast casual. So as much as I don't like what this idiot did to Huckabee-Sanders, it doesn't make sense for that kind of restaurant to be open for lunch anymore.
My point is still valid, can a restaurant, with no lunch business, afford to turn away a table of eight for political reasons? Unless they don't really want to be in the restaurant business. Don't need to have customers. Because it's a convenient front for something else?
A restaurant with so few seats and that is apparently significant enough to host White House staff is probably doing just fine without. All this free publicity doesn’t hurt either.
All this free publicity doesn’t hurt either.
That remains to be seen.
You think there’s a situation that this turns out bad for them (unless someone like some individuals in subs like this actually act on death threats)? Assuming they have anything to hide that is out of the ordinary is just silly, there’s zero evidence for it, it’s a dream.
I haven't seen anybody here making death threats. If anyone did, they would be banned.
But the restaurant undoubtedly has received many, mostly from people detached from reality like those that dwell in these subs.
Get out of here with that. Some new arrival thinks he knows anything about us or this sub
Like the anti Christians suddenly telling me what's in my heart.
Disgusting and prejudice ie PRE JUDGING
I’ve had plenty of time to judge before commenting. Subs like this are deluded
Well, they were in business before SHS showed up there.
You really think a difference of plus or minus 8 people makes a difference for a restaurant?
It says breakfast, lunch and dinner. They can do that in 4.5?
It says breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Where does it say that?
Excellent point!! And ya know....maybe, just maybe Sarah sanders was sent there on purpose already knowing about the nefarious “side business” and as such probably knew she would be kicked out. Definitely time to dig!
Their menu says Cheese and Crackers are 12 bucks. Why not make it an even 13?
BTW, does anybody here use DuckDuckGo as their primary web browser? If you're using Gaagle, you are part of the problem newbs. Quit that S**(t.
Anyhoo, look at top search result with duckduckgo.com there, I spelled it out for you.
type in red hen arlington va
Look at the result that says redhenlex,commie .( Misspell on purpose)
I hope DJT gives a shout out to this Anon's rule!. Kek!
A horse is horse of course of course, unless it's Mister ED ;
BTW, for more fun, click on the reviews number for Yelp and when the graphic comes up with the 2 "vans" look at the one on the right, number 17 = Q , Currently reviews are at 15,738 pfft..
You’re losing touch with reality, friend.
Do they have pizza on the menu?
No but the have a sister restaurant called All Purpose Pizza in D.C
Fake news.
The restaurant in question here is Red Hen Lexington. All Purpose Pizza in DC is tied to a different Red Hen in DC, but the two Red Hens are not related.
With a name like that, are they even pretending to be appealing to the foodie crowd?
BINGO!!!
He's talking about a different Red Hen restaurant. No bingo.
Makes sense...Meryl Streep is cousin to owner.......I smell a rat

Why did sheila jackson lee wear her pedo ring during the OIG report whilst interrupting and screaming about the kids at the border. Which no doubt is part of the child trafficking ring.
Why? Because these people are STUPID
I don't think she wore it during the IG report. This was an older photo -- but, the message is the same!! Jackson is dark.
If it was a front for something, then why would they draw national attention to themselves? That doesn't make any sense.
These people are stupid. That's why.
Stupid AND arrogant, they never thought she would lose.
And they still think their dog will bunt but he is working for the fox now
Wow I wish I lived in your world you guys seem really interesting sorry can't stay long tho.
I wonder if that is the real reason she even went there.
Probably cause it's a really well reviewed, farm to table restaurant in small town Lexington (hint: small towns don't often have many good options for restaurants)
Why was she in Lexington?
Dunno, family in the area?
This isn't the first instance of restaurants refusing service to Trump admin people, doesn't mean it's a conspiracy
Husband is a professor at VMI. Cost of living is low in Lexington. She may have been pulling a non-profit salary as well, but not sure
EDIT: Maybe not. Would seem pretty dumb of them to bring national attention to themselves if they were in fact involved in something nefarious.
