This is yet another love story that turns sour. After testing the best combinations of sauces and ingredients that will make up the menu with his boyfriend at the time, Linh Lee opened a restaurant in Lansing, Michigan in 2015.
Called Capital City BBK, it serves Vietnamese specialties and barbecue. By presenting its flagship dish, which is a pork sandwich, Lee's restaurant even appeared two years ago on a very popular culinary chain in a program devoted to diners , typically American coffee shops. A success that her ex-boyfriend, embittered, tried to tackle with a wrong voice message, reports the Washington Post .
Treason
Their romance ends after three years of relationship last July. Lee then reports to a local newspaper that his ex-companion retrieved the number of his restaurant and recorded a voice message indicating that it will be closed for several months.
“Due to vacation, we are taking extended leave until March 1. We look forward to meeting you after March 1 in our restaurant. Happy holidays, and thank you. Except that it is absolutely false, according to her. After the creation of this voice message, the restaurant's turnover dropped.
"I will not close"
To try to solve the problem, she officially changed the restaurant number although it is still displayed on the restaurant front and on several booking sites like TripAdvisor. "I will not close," she told the local newspaper. "I keep moving forward." Lee is also trying to alert his clientele on social networks by posting a message on the restaurant's Facebook page in mid-December.
Originally, she met her ex-boyfriend in 2011 and hired him to build the restaurant, providing him with the sum of $ 67,000. He associates the restaurant number with his construction company, of which Lee has no knowledge of passwords. Although he claims to be co-owner of the restaurant, she claims to be the only one to have contributed financially.
Unexpected success
Today, she told the newspaper that she had hired a lawyer to resolve the conflict and contacted the authorities.
Encouraging sign, after having been the subject of several press articles, Lee's restaurant is a wild success, "taken over" by customers, indicates the Washington Post .
