SGD Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 You didn't need a crystal ball to see that coming. Original Bob thought it was worth multi millions but had to sell out for buttons once people saw through the bluster of the internet marketing and the product not stacking up. I sent all bar one received through D2D back either as undercooked (i.e. raw) or inedible, despite being highly priced. In situ it was little better with many items of dubious quality and service haphazard. The best he did was his short lived stall in Carrefour food hall but even with better priced products he could not tempt in customers. RIP but this was a long, slow and predictable death.

vpi78 Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 There was something about that place that was off-putting. Ghosts, maybe? Or LK Metro perhaps Not by the building and refurbishing going on now. Bob actually sold the place to another guy who got stuck with a lot of the bad will Bob had generated. Looks like that was too much of a burden to overcome. Meanwhile there is a much better BBQ place by a much better restauranteur about to open called something like the Texas Lone Star Grill. Too bad about Bob's but LK Metro is a booming area these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoonman Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Original Bob thought it was worth multi millions but had to sell out for buttons once people saw through the bluster of the internet marketing and the product not stacking up. I thought the original Bob had to sell due to a close family member back home falling ill forcing him to firesale the place as he needed to exit ASAP, amusingly though he advertised it for 500k yet Dale paid over double this figure, there's a sucker born every day !!!

HeavyDrinker Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 I was referring to VPI's comment about LK "booming" and agreeing with your reply. Stickman has run a few articles about LK Metro in recent months saying how it's the new boom area of Pattaya when it is clearly nothing of the sort...

Thanks for that , I knew you was agreeing but was interested to hear who stickmans new sponcer is. Or was that tongue in cheek ? I find LK a boring place . I will be down town Patts tomorrow night so I will take a look again at the empty bars on LK as I drive past Edited August 10, 2011 by adder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeavyDrinker Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Well he's always on about how it's the place to be, so as all he tends to do these days is plug places he has an interest in or gets kickbacks from, I'm guessing that the case.

Personally, Slackman is the last one I would ask about anything to do with Thailand. Yeah you can cruise by Walking Street with the rest of the package tourists, but the businesses that are actually making a sustainable return are elsewhere in Pattaya these days and LK metro is one of them. But then Indian and Russian package tourists would not know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However you are probably better off listening more closely to your grade school grammar teacher. Once you actually do travel to Thailand and learn from personal experiences rather than the Internet you will probably be ok. Meanwhile keep on googling.

Exsexyman Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 A few years ago i went to his place on Pattaya Thai for a burger and fries takeaway. When i got it home and unwrapped it the fries consisted of a handful of potato crisps! To be honest i just stared at them and laughed. Needless to say i never went back. Best burger for me is the Aussie burger stall at the corner of Soi Diana and Soi Buakhow. Great quality and huge, enough for two really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My experience also, except I use WOW, cheaper on most items, had to straight in the bin, I sent a very polite email, not asking for a refund, but just to let him know. I did not receive a reply.

coutsa Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 I didnt mind eating at Bobs, in saying that thought, he was VERY tight on the chips... and a bit expensive. I always wanted to try his Wagon Wheel burger that looked massive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauljones Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Never pretty to see someone's place crash and burn. Too bad. On a happy note, just across the street from Bob's is Krogen, that serves excellent Swedish Meatballs and more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
