Advertorialized WP:BLP of a restaurateur, not reliably sourced as passing our inclusion standards for restaurateurs. This is almost entirely reference bombed to a mix of primary sources and glancing namechecks of his existence in media coverage of other things that aren't support for notability at all -- and the only sources that are about him in any non-trivial way are a Q&A interview in which he's talking about himself in the first person and a piece in a local interest magazine, which is not enough coverage to get him over WP:GNG all by itself if it's the only strong source on the menu. Nothing stated in the article is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to be referenced much, much better than this. Bearcat (talk) 11:44, 11 March 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete per WP:GNG and WP:MILL. Neither notable as a restaurateur nor as a producer. Bearian (talk) 00:33, 16 March 2020 (UTC)
