I have long maintained that there isn’t a dumber guy in the Detroit Sports Media world than Terry Foster. If you need any proof of that you can peruse his Twitter account or notice the misspelling on his grammatically challenged blogposts when he doesn’t have an editor to modify phrases like “gorilla warfare.”
Not only is Foster a complete dullard he isn’t bright enough to remember the statements he has made in the past. I am not sure if this is due to early onset dementia or if he just doesn’t have the brain functionality to keep up with his own stupidity. Or maybe, just maybe he is both dense and a complete hypocrite.
Thanks to the contributions of DSR correspondent Jum Pete (@JFunk2800) we have unearthed some shocking contradictions on the T-Fos’s blogsite regarding the 97.1 personality’s new restaurant.
Here are some quotes from Foster’s blog dated September 25, 2011.
If I get bad service or bad food I place a restaurant on my banned list. I never go there again.
Hogans in Birmingham is on my banned list because they served me chicken with gravy and said it was chicken marsala and would only give me a second entree if I paid for it. Jim Brady’s on Southfield is on my banned list because I ordered a steak medium well and it came medium rare. I asked for it to be cooked more and they stuck it in the microwave.
Banned.
It would appear from those quotes that Kim Jong Foster doesn’t have a lot of tolerance for poor food service. Well, at least that was his point of view until some businessmen tricked him into thinking he had a financial interest in a dining establishment in an effort to bypass WXYT-FM’s advertising rates.
(By the way, did you notice that this imbecile spelled nachos, “natchos?” I mean ….)
Here is a quote from “The Truth” after the News writer visited Foster’s Smokehouse for the first time over the weekend.
We must improve on the speed of the food. This is part of the growing process and the managers are working on (it)…Some orders have come out cold and I apologize for that…We are a work in progress but I love the start we have had. We lost business because the pizza oven broke down. It is back up and running churning out pizzas.
The dude(s) bankrolling this joint can only hope their patrons are a little more understanding than Emperor Foster.
Seriously though, can you imagine writing on your blog that you have no tolerance for poor food service and that you will ban any establishment that doesn’t meet your diva standards and THEN later admit the place with your NAME ON IT is a work in progress that features cold meal, slow waitstaff and a broken pizza oven?
But there is more to Foster’s incredible hypocrisy.
The following few paragraphs are from Foster’s blog of June 9, 2011:
I’ve seen tables of parents drinking beer while their kids roam the bar playing video games and begging for coins to put in a juke box. I’ve seen children sit at the bar playing video games which I thought was against the rules.
It just does not seem right.
I know I would not do that with my kids. Little B and I have had dinner at Buffalo Wild Wings, Harry’s downtown and at Rosie O’Grady’s. But it is usually in the day and we clear out by 8 or 9 to go home. I cannot imagine going to a bar, getting plastered while my kid is at the table or horsing around, and then driving home at 11 to sleep it off.
There are certain places kids do not belong. I was shocked about six months ago to not only see a five year old walking around a bar but she went behind the bar to see what was going on. The parents did not move. They were too busy getting hammered.
So, I’d say that Foster is pretty adamant that kids and sports bars aren’t a good mix, right? And someone who wrote a blogpost about the importance of keeping children out of these sorts of establishments would NEVER flipflop on this issue, right?
Well, this is Foster’s post from June 26th of this year:
(Foster’s Smokehouse) is also a sports bar. If you want to grab a burger and brew you can also do that too. It is a family restaurant and it is also a place where you can hang and chill or get loud during games.
And then this from July 1st:
What people have not discovered is that we are also a sports bar. We plan on some drink specials once all of our beers are pouring and all our alcohol is in place. How about $2 shots every time the Tigers hit a home run?
I mean, is this guy for real? Yeah, we’re a FAMILY establishment, but if Cabrera, Fielder and V-Mart go back-to-back-to-back, let’s all get fucked up on cheap shots while the kids play Donkey Kong in the game room!!!!!
The Joe Camel cartoon is embarrassed about this complete 180 from a man who has no moral boundaries whatsoever once the smell of fresh money is in the air.
There is no bigger opportunist in the city than this fuckstick. It is why he attempted to latch on to the DSR years ago. Why he left people in the lurch when his candy shop went under. And why his fellow media brethren are mocking him about his latest get-rich-quick scheme behind his back.
Anyway, we should have some fun with Foster’s Smokehouse while we still can so I am going to run a contest on here.
We are going to try to guess the exact date that Foster’s Smokehouse will go out of business. The closest entry will win two excellent seats to a Tigers or Lions game depending on the season this joint goes belly up.
All you have to do is email me at DetroitSportsRag@gmail.com with the subject heading of “Foster Smokehouse Contest.” Give me a date (make sure you include a year) that you think this place will follow Foster’s candy store into oblivion.
If there is a change in name and “Foster’s” is removed from the entity, we will consider that the same as the place folding for the purpose of the contest.
There is no fee for entering, but each person is limited to just one entry. All you have to do is give me the date you think the place will close and your full name.
The contest will close on Friday July 5th at 11:59pm EST.
Good luck!
