I just watched “Restaurant Startup” on CNBC, and Joe Bastianich and Tim Love made a huge mistake in not choosing Peculiar Culinary Co. from the Pittston area to do the startup.

Their choice of 17 Summer turned out to be a disaster, and neither one made an offer to invest. They should have given Gene Philbin a chance to shine. We need the type of bistro in this area that he wants to open. And, by the way, the food looked great!
