If presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump plans on eating local when hes in Cleveland for the Republican National Convention, he should steer clear of any of Michael Symons eateries.
Theres not a chance Id let him into one of my restaurants, the celebrity chef said with laughter during a phone interview with 92.3 The Fan Thursday morning.
Originally calling in to defend the communal seating at Mabels, his new BBQ restaurant on East 4th Street, Symon shared how he really felt about the businessman-turned-politician when the topic turned to potential parties during the RNC.
I come from a mixed political family, which is always fun around this time of the world," he said. "Ive been fortunate - or unfortunate - enough to meet him through the years. And Im not gonna lie, he creeps me out a little bit.
When asked by 92.3 The Fans Matt Dery about whether or not hes concerned that his anti-Trump comments could turn off potential patrons, he doubled down on his comments.
Anybody that knows me knows that Im not afraid to speak my mind. This isnt a Democratic/Republican thing, trust me. Its just a he creeps me out thing.
