tainted food and prop. 8

Perhaps some of you know, have heard or read that a few owners and/or managers from different food establishments contributed money to pass Proposition 8 in California. We've read about the owner of El Coyote Restaurant in Hollywood, also about Richard Cross, the largest franchisee of Burger King in Southern California --which kinda makes sense because if you patronize Burger King, there is a huge chance you voted for Prop. 8 based on the exit polls.

These are some other restaurants involved in this:

• T-Bird Restaurant Group - Exclusive rights to franchise Outback Steakhouse in California. CFO Mikkel Christensen donated $2,000.
  
• Yard House - Restaurant Partner ("Owner"), Executive Chef Carlito Jocson donated $100.
  
• Real Mex Restaurants - Steven Tanner, CFO, donated $500.00 Restaurants under their belt include all: El Torito, Chevy's and Acapulco, as well as smaller concepts Las Brisas, Casa Gallardo, Who Song & Larry's, and El Paso Cantina.

All these examples can be verified easily.

El Pollo Loco is also in the mix for alleged contributions to Prop. 8, but I knew that a place called The Crazy Chicken would not do this, so I kept on searching online. What I've been reading is that EPL had nothing to do with this, but the owner of several of its franchises in Southern California.

This closet-case is Roland Spongberg, president of WKS Restaurant Corp: he owns some of the EPLs around here and one in Palm Desert, four Denny's (one of them in beautiful Fontana) and will open 15 new Corner Bakery Cafes in the Phoenix area. Here is a list of the EPLs he owns, and also a list of his political contributions to Mitt Romney and Dubya.

They have clearly showed us that they are not for Equality, so PLEASE, get your chicken, your beer, your watered-down margaritas and your steak and shrimp on the barbie somewhere else. Thanks!
