I’m a bit under the weather today and all I want to do is sleep. My sleep schedule is crazier than ever lately. That said there are two stories of interest out of California that I wanted to make you aware of. The first story is about Lisa Vanderpump and the second is about Gina Kirschenheiter
First, The Blast posted a story today about multiple accusations on Yelp about food poisoning from Lisa Vanderpump’s restaurant, SUR. I went to Yelp directly and read many different complaints from customers regarding becoming violently ill after eating there.
The site also referenced a lawsuit that was rather unusual. A woman allegedly claims that she got some sort of immediate food poisoning while eating at SUR. The woman claims she immediately vomited and defecated herself and fell to the floor. Also, she claims all the wait staff did was throw water on her. She was then carried out on a stretcher and taken to Cedar Sinai Hospital. She claims she spent three day in ICU and two additional days in the hospital. This story sounds fishy to me. Food poisoning takes some time to develop symptoms. A spokes person for SUR claims nothing like this scenario happened.
This is just another lawsuit against Lisa and Todd. I feel like this one is bullshit. However, there were many yelpers who claimed they got food poisoning after eating at SUR. I do believe those reviews.
Gina’s Kirschenheiter Scores $100K A Year In Support
In other news, Gina’s Kirschenheiter’s divorce judge recently awarded her $4,500 per month in child support and $5,127 a month in spousal support, for a grand total of $9,627 per month. The amount was based on his base salary and commissions of $421,000 a year. In addition, Gina will keep all her jewelry, clothes, and keeps the Chrysler Town and Country. Matt will keep his personal belongings plus the 2015 Lexus according to documents obtained by The Blast.
Have any of you guys eaten at SUR and lived to tell the tale? Are you surprised by Matt’s annual salary?
Watching something on local channel on DVR, There was a commercial for the local news. Apparently the AIR in my area has been contaminated with carcinogens. Perhaps that is why I feel like crap.
Where is Erin Brokovich when you need her. Seriously you and Banjo be safe and stay indoors. When I lived in the Bay Area we had had “bad” air quality days. I’m sure they still do now
Those damned refineries! And then every asshat (likely in a bar the whole time) jumps on and tries to sue.
Unfortunately it’s trendy these days for people to deliberately take to Yelp and other online foodie sights to trash someone’s restaurant. I know of several people who have been victims of this negativity and it truly hurts their revenue. Most of these trolls have never even stepped into the restaurants they’re writing against.
So not sure any of these allegations are true but who knows.
I did notice Yelp the business are allowed to respond, so that’s cool. I was shocked to see 600 reviews, on Apt/Condo referring to management, is slammed for extorting the landlords, what? Calgary has crap for ethical management..lots of roaches, bed bugs, great, sorry TT if a bit off topics..
There are a very high number of complaints about food poisoning. I haven’t gotten through all the negative reviews https://www.yelp.com/biz/sur-restaurant-and-lounge-west-hollywood-3?start=20&sort_by=rating_asc but is it an insane amount.
I can’t stand LVP but this could have been a Facebook group attack or something. The lawsuit seem ridiculous. You don’t get food poisoning while eating contaminated food.
LVP et all should sue for defamation.
Omg I am reading the Yelp reviews. The first three pages are ALL negative. Now I am addicted and want to read them all. I think mine is in there somewhere maybe about 6-7 years ago.
I have never read so many bad reviews in my life. After reading 28 pages of 1 star reviews I gave up. You would think that they would care enough to get their act together. People from out of state are going there to check out the place only to be disappointed. It says a lot when management does nothing to rectify the situation. I thought Lisa cared about how she is perceived, obviously she doesn’t by how bad the reviews are.
I used to get violent, immediate puking etc from reheating something I microwaved then put in the freezer. I was only 20 & did it a few more times before I figured it out. I could totally see the yahoos at SUR doing this. The reaction is immediate & violent, like projectile violent. Try it yourself if you don’t believe me.
I do not buy the woman’s food poisoning story, but it is entirely possible that she could have been deathly allergic to the fish and/or some ingredient in the sauce she mentioned (think how fast Bethenny went down at the restaurant with her new guy) – I’m just throwing that out there. If it is an anaphylactic reaction to something in the meal, that’s on her, not LVP. I don’t like LVP much at all either, but food poisoning? Nope, not that fast.
Gina may have scored it, but what difference will it make if he’s still unemployed? At some point, that well will run dry (unless he gets a new job with a comparable salary).
Judges look at your earning potential. Even if he loses his job, he still has to pay that amount or go to jail.
He won’t be put in jail for it. You put someone in jail then they really can’t earn anything at all. It will be modified.
No, it doesn’t get modified that quick. Child support is federally mandated by a percentage of the family bread winners gross earnings. It takes years to get it modified if you can get it changed at all.
Wrong. I was awarded more than Gina 20 years ago. Long story-he quit working, moved in with the woman judge and within 6 months was able to lower his support. And child support is not a federally mandated amount.
I agree with Tatum Talks, if Matt lost his job, as we saw from a site claiming court documents, He will likely try to contest based on unemployment.
I work in finance, there’s a website that we all sue to research brokers. Matt is no longer registered with FINRA and the SEC and is potentially barred. So yeah…. he’s out of his wholesaler job at PIMCO.
Shoot.. use****
I’ve eaten at SUR, I didn’t like the food first time ( forgot what I ordered ) so the last time I was there I had pasta and it was good. Kinda hard to screw up pasta was my thought and I was right, also the cocktails I had first time were not very strong so the next time I just had wine.
So it IS about the pasta!
Gold star post of the day.
I feel special for the second time in one day!
😂😂😂😂@Nanette
LMAO!
I ate at SUR right after the first season of VR. They offered a Groupon or Livingsocial voucher so I took advantage of it. The food was good and also the sangria. I haven’t been back though, parking is HORRIBLE over there. As for food poisoning I have had it several times and it normally doesn’t kick in for a couple of hours. Except when I ate some bad gumbo that happen within an hour. My whole family got sick off some gumbo my uncle made. Never ate his gumbo again after that.
I find it amusing that LVP ‘s restaurant is getting trashed on Yelp & word of mouth! As usual she is overrated. This bimbo & her lapdog husband need to be exposed for the frauds that they are! I also can’t stand this fake fool. It’s time to pay the piper! She’s a malignant narcissist!! 🤡 She is nothing but 🐂💩! 🤣😂 LMAO
24-48 hours incubation period. Unless you eat raw sewage or like, plutonium for example, I imagine. Most people know this that have ever had it before so I don’t know where she’s going worth that, unless she had an allergic reaction…
Not true, staph on undercooked foods and from poor hand washing can strike with in 30 minutes especially if you have a lowered immune system from something.
It’s not super likely, but you can’t rule it out. The time from Of infection all depends on pathogen you ingest.
Like I said, apart from special circumstance. The generalised medical understanding of “food poisoning” is 24 – 48 hours incubation according to the NHS in the UK, and for some reason 12-72 in the US. No idea why theres different ideas on that! So sometimes less sometimes more. But certainly not instant.
Bad seafood can cause a reaction like that. I bad professor who said she immediately got sick from eating seafood that must have been tainted either by poor kitchen conditions or the fish itself ate something toxic before it was caught. Or the customer had a bad allergic reaction. So it’s not unlikely, but I feel like a spectacle like that person describes would have been in the media before the suit.
I agree that in this day and age if someone was vomiting and shitting their pants and carried out of SUR on a stretcher it would have made the news. HOWEVER, both Ken and Lisa ALLEGEDLY have a history of paying off TMZ.
TOTALLY AGREE!! In this day and age if there isn’t at least 1 witness if the alleged act occurred in a public setting it didn’t happen.
Yes, you can immediately throw up from eating something your body doesn’t agree with but it takes at least a day for real food poisoning to kick in.
I’d think we would have heard if some guest had vomited and shit herself in the middle of the dining room at Sur.
Having worked in the communicable disease area of a Health Department, I’ve worked plenty of food borne infection cases. In my experience, it takes hours for the food poisoning to take effect. It is rare for the body to respond that quick & violently to food ingested.
There must be more to the story. Maybe LVP relabeled a bottle of 2 buck chuck that had turned. Or hell, maybe its the chunky balsamic malt vinegar they use on their Capri salads. Who knows.
Doesn’t sound like food poisoning, more like an allergic reaction. Story sounds like bull anyway.
Hope you feel better soon TT
The puking defecator sounds like a liar. Reminds me of the finger in the chili hoax lawsuit. Like maybe she read the reviews and saw a payday. WTF did she think the servers should have done? Changed her panties? I hope it wasn’t goat cheese balls because I am having those when we go to LA in a few months.
Speaking of LVP … if she doesn’t come back, I thought of a PERFECT person … Marissa Hermer of The Ladies of London. She lives in Pacific Palisades. I loved that show and her. (I couldn’t STAND the other Yank, Juliet!) You gotta love a gal who lets a photog shoot them with a wiener for a smile in a restaurant promo! Despite what despicable Stansbury says!
I’m still reading the negative reviews. The goat cheese balls are mentioned in both. You get three for ten dollars and they are cold and bland according to the negative reviewers. However, when I started with all the reviews people liked them. YOU MUST TELL US ABOUT THE BALLS!
The plan is to drive down to LA in October. I want the balls at SUR and a Sandoval cocktail — without booze — at TomTom. I imagine he can do something special without alcohol. If not, I may have my first drink — ONE ONLY — in 9 years. The big shocker will be if anyone from the show is working at SUR*. I hope Peter is working. And I want to see James Kennedy so I can spank him — NOT in a sexual way.
*SUR (Sexy Unique Restaurant) is the dumbest conceit of a restaurant name since … ever. It must be British humor.
Gosh I love you. I’d love to meet up w you when you’re in LA. If you go to Tom Tom try the avocado tacos, I’m salivating over them as I type.. basically deep fried guacamole ❤️🤤🤤🤤
Do you live in SoCal? We will stay in Reseda but foray to WeHo.
Be careful about that ONE ONLY drink Nanette. You’ve been sober long enough to know that’s your demon talking to you. 9 years is a blessing.
I really do believe he can make a virgin avacado or pomegranate something. If I can, he can. What I REALLY want is to see him do that thing from the first-season intro, where he took his finger and knocked over the glasses of pink stuff into the other glasses. It could be pomegranate and lime juices into soda water.
I was concerned about the one drink statement also, but non/alcoholic drinks can be made easily. I’d love to see that trick also!! Have fun!!
Meh. You can get those anywhere. Just had them the other day on top of a salad. They were heavenly.
Talking about goat balls. Fried guacamole sounds amazing. ❤️
As for Gina the article said her scumbag of a husband agreed to pay$.. .for….&pay$… for that….! Give me a break that ahole doesn’t have any choice the court decides unless he wants to drag his mess all over the place! He’ll make himself not hireable! LMAO Nobody likes cheaters! I just Luv KARMA!!! 👏👏💃👏
I ate at SUR about a year and half ago. Peter is much more handsome in real life. Food was good but the bathroom in the lounge was rude down and dirty.
Which in its own way might explain why Jax decided it was a good place to have sex if that’s the same bathroom.
Not a LVP fan in the least but one would think if this happened other patrons would’ve videoed it.
But, I’ve always believed LVP and Ken pay off a lot of people because they’ve been sued a lot over the years.
I once got food poisoning from a well know pizza chain. The first rumblings (eeeeek) were immediate. I was in the bathroom within 30 mins and violently ill for 2 days. It can happen that fast.
You had some kind of stomach virus not food poisoning.
That’s not the way food poisoning works.
I would not eat at SUR. Its basically an overpriced Cheesecake Factory. Just sayin.
There’s a certain type of staph food poisoning that can cause symptoms like this within 30 minutes. Oddly enough it’s more common/potent in cream sauces and that’s what this person allegedly had at the restaurant. That said, I don’t buy it. Like several people have already stated, a big scene like this would have been on the news.
Tamara, You posted here a while ago giving us an insight of two girls making a day trip to SUR and PUMP. They said the goat cheese balls are terrible and they had no idea why Stassi raves about them.The caprese salad was awful with too much balsamic on it. Actually, they really didn’t enjoy anything except some blackberry dessert.
I don’t believe the lady who shit her pants at the restaurant, but I do believe that if you eat at SUR you will get food poison. LVP probably plops her rotten apple in every dish. Then she goes and looks in her mirror mirror on the wall.
I hope Gina dries Matt’s bank account out and he rots in a sewer. I just don’t see her receiving this money since he lost his job.
I do believe this latest complainant’s account. It may seem out there to some, but as someone who has coeliac disease I can tell you something similar will happen to me if I come into contact with so much as a glutenous breadcrumb. Seriously, it’s like gremlins are taking over your body. And the danger this could happen is just one reason why I never eat away from home. #goodtimes
Tamara, I hope you are feeling better. That’s shocking about your air quality. The world is such a mess 🙁
I ate at Sur and Pump. Decor is amazing in both places, food and drinks were good (nothing to write home about, but I’d go again). So many bad reviews sounds so fishy to me. I imagine the staff would get sick too of food poisoning, therefore even the crappiest restaurant would have address the issue quick. I don’t buy this.
