Rumored to have a connection to the Lucchese family. The restaurant itself is pretty good, my parents live about a 5 minute drive from the place.

Joey Il Bacco is no more tied to the mob than any italian restaurant owner in queens. Mobsters have to eat somewhere and the restaurant owner has to cater to them when they get there because they usually spend big money and throw big tips around.
Infinitely more interesting than any organized crime ties is the fact that Il Bacco is ALSO the place that hosted the Republican Christmas party during quarantine in 2020.

Not really sarcasm, just a TV reference. His name is similar to chef Artie Bucco, who Tony Soprano described as “a warm and convivial host” to his patrons.

lolol. funny enough, i actually thought about Artie Bucco when i was writing my first comment here because Joey Il Bacco really is like Artie but without the childhood friendship with a mob boss. The fact that i missed your quote just means i'm probably due for a rewatch of the show.

So, in fairness, they theoretically could just tip up to that limit. Like if it was either a $120 meal or a $135 meal, they could tip so it's $199.99. But obviously not really trying to defend him.

The bigger your name, generally the more investigated you’ll be. Trump is going through the shit he’s going through because he decided to run for president. Of course journalists and partisans are going to go through his shit with a fine toothed comb. The same thing happened to Obama, the Bushes, McCain, etc.
Think about Obama. They found a video of his pastor giving a sermon that touched on 9/11 when Obama apparently wasn’t even at church that was mildly critical of US foreign policy. That’s how in-depth they looked at his life. McCain has an adopted daughter from Bangladesh. They even combed through her life when she was a child to find something.
So while there might be skeletons in some of their closets. In general, the higher you get, the more scrutiny you get. Don’t run for office if you have unresolved criminal shit in your background (hookers, nannies paid under the table, alcoholism, illicit drug use, etc.). It will come out. And have a story for the resolved criminal shit.
Sadly, you can probably get away with domestic violence.

ncovariant t1_j6x8djk wrote
Yeah, doesn’t nearly rise to the eyebrow-raising level of the average Santos story, and surely wouldn’t stand out if one went digging into dining and catering budgets of other campaigns. The 26K was spent over 32 separate occasions. Alright well sure 26K buys a lot of rigatoni bolognese, but within realm of typical political campaign catering expenses — fundraisers, wine-and-dines with donors and endorsers, lunch meetings with staff, consultants, etc — it doesn’t buy much at all. It buys a little more if you do a lot of it at the same place, and if you’re running in New York, it’s probably wise to pick a New York family owned Italian restaurant, rather than a Chicago family owned Italian restaurant. 🤷

Santos is a scum bag but 32 meetings at a restaurant could easily blow $26k. I know people don't want to hear that, but of all his lies this one is one of the more plausible.

OrangeSlimeSoda t1_j6x6hwr wrote
I've never worked on a political campaign, but surely 32 meetings/events at the same business during a single election campaign cycle is unusual unless the politician has some sort of personal connection to the business or its owner, right?
EDIT: Did a bit of quick math. He announced his candidacy in June 2021, and between then and November 2022 was about 16 months, which is 64 weeks, which is 448 days. With 32 meetings, that comes out to a meeting/event there once every 14 days (or once every two weeks).
FormerKarmaKing t1_j6xofti wrote
Santos almost certainly was getting kick-backs from the restaurant, but at least in the business world, 32 meetings at the same restaurant isn't impossible to believe.
When one is raising money - either for business or politics - one is essentially running a dramatic production. So I want as much control over the "set" of that play as possible.
Using the same restaurant means the staff, whom I tip regularly and above average, know how I like things and will step in the right times. Great waiters are also experts at making certain people have a good time. That can be a huge help as you wouldn't believe how many rich people are actually unhappy, bored, or both.
And the owner will love me because I bring them so much business, and likely, new wealthy customers, too. They'll make it a habit to come over, make certain everything is great, give us special stuff, even talk me up.
Regulars will see this and want to know me because people like people that other people like. I'll likely shake a few hands on my way to my regular table.
All of this increases the "halo" around me. Without saying anything to the investor / donor, I'm demonstrating that I'm special and that people like me. That alone won't make the invest/donate, but it definitely helps, even if it means they're just happy to take another meeting with me in the future.

I don't really want to give George Santos any benefit of the doubt but that's actually not that unreasonable if the office picked up dinner for the staff with some regularity. I mean I did two dinner seminars a week prior to COVID and put about $100,000 on my business credit card every year at local restaurants. That's not even including picking up the tab for food during weekly call sessions, etc.
I don't know how long that bill is over but if it's a year then that works out to $500 a week and if the rigatoni is $23 then that's two weekly meals for a relatively small office. Add in drinks or dessert and that's one weekly meal for a relatively small office. He should resign but I don't actually see anything glaring about this.
