I am glad you addressed the issue immediately. It's been my experience that some people feel the need to put their best foot forward to certain individuals rather than just putting their best foot forward all the time! Good for you!

Wow thank you for showing that display and the difference in the way u were treated. I am VERY intentional about where I spend my money. I am from Chicago and I will NOT patronize this establishment. ❤ Stay BLESSED KEEP DOING WHAT YOU DO ❤
Oh no no baby!!! Darius you should've gotten up and left... I'm so #TeamDarius I was over cussin' up a storm 🤬 and thank you for callin' his racist tail out 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
My husband and I have experienced this unprofessional behavior in the Northern VA area from Latino individuals. I'm not sure who is advising these individuals but understand this, we will only celebrate those who respectfully celebrate us. Thanks for sharing your reviews! Stay safe and be blessed!
I don’t blame you one bit. You definitely were treated differently. Even his tone with you was off. The tip on the back tickled my soul. I would have done the exact same thing.
Did he say that the reason for the difference in service level was because it's just you? So you have to be two or more in order to get good service? That's okay Darius, their menu seems schizophrenic anyway.
Thank you Darius for your review of The Purple Pig and I have always wanted to dine at the award winning restaurant. I think it's very enlightening for you to show how they obviously treated you indifferently and I don't like the the fact that you had that kind of experience at a place of such notoriety. They really have to get this " race" stuff together and learn that we want the same treatment as anyone else out there in the world and one offense to one of us can easily be seen as an offense to us all . I will be coming to Purple Pig soon to dine just to see if now if my experience is any better than yours . I want you to know that on this large you tube platform that you have people who are very distinguished diners like yourself that that have back who admires your restaurant selections and go to the restaurants that you recommend. The power of your restaurant selections are real and all the best to you brother !!!!! Keep up the good work !!!!!
The Latinos in Chicago really have a disdain for Black people in Chicago, but all they’re going to do is make it hard for their employers. But why would you want to go to support a place with mediocre food, possible discrimination and service? We gotta do better
Thank you Darius for reviewing this spot! Mentioning you’re doing a review and acknowledgement of his behavior was nicely done. I’m a Chicagoan who loves your reviews, especially in our city!!! I never heard anyone say they loved the food or experience there; but hope many tourists pay attention (to more than, just the name). Obviously, you were paying for location. I’m ready to go 😆elsewhere 🎉 **Darius, I truly hope the waiter read and fully understood your note. I am sorry for the unwelcoming experience at home.
I'm very sorry you were treated so poorly by that restaurant employee, who is representing the entire restaurant. What a shame and disappointment. I won't be visiting that restaurant.
Hell now, as soon as I am seated in a restaurant I immediately look at the time cuz sometimes I feel like they forgot about me. Thanks for calling his azz out!
I’m so sorry about your experience. You would think that we wouldn’t have to endure this kind treatment today but sadly we do; and no less than another minority. You have to stay prayed up and lifted
Hello Daius, I am a new follower but am already hooked. I love your very honest reviews and your personality, especially after a few good spirits and how you let us know it's just your opinion, to try for ourselves. My hometown is also the Chi, but I am a Houstian now lived in Houston longer than Chicago. I am so, so glad that you wrote that note on the back of your ticket. They need to know that they need to be held accountable for bad service, sad that we still in this day and time have to deal with unequal treatment, but since we do we need to call it out. Keep up the wonderful, enjoyable reviews. Maybe I'll run into you one day in Houston if you haven't transitioned to Bali yet... I hear that the Flying Fish in H-Town is really good... It looks like a converted old gas station. I haven't tried it yet but will be soon.
Do u wash your hands after u touch them menus & I'm not being mean. I watched a show years ago & they said menus, gas handles & grocery cart are the most nastiest.
I took my son there many years ago. It was a tapas restaurant with a large eclectic menu. There really was nothing memorable about the experience. My son is 29; we went when he was either in junior high or high school. I haven't been back.
Oh wow! I can't I can't believe it please set down and ask what he wants to drink?? Please! I was worried you really didn't have the experience that the white people got.. I Can't! Me personally, I would have gotten up and left!
This review could have gone way different if he had better service, even IF the food is sub-par..... When you dine out in a fine dining/upscale place, you're not only paying for the food, BUT the experience as well. So, we (Black People) get treated poorly then accuse of being bad trippers when we leave a low or tip.... Just Saying P.S. that server NEVER even apologized when he was called out...smh
@@eugenawoodson3816 as someone that works in service industry i hear people complain about black folks im black as well. i average higher tips than what i hear most people make because i try to provide the best service regardless of what people have on or look like sometimes its out of our control but attitude is everything.
You should not pay for a dish that’s salty. I would have asked for them to take that off of my bill. For you to pay for a dish that you didn’t like, doesn’t bother them because even though you didn’t like it, you still paid for it.
You have to check out Yo's Yummy's Catering Restaurant LLC, It's on the Westside of Chicago 4800 W.Chicago Ave Suite 1,It's a Great Soulfood Dishes and they serve wine 🍷 ❤😊
Darius , I love you ! You crack me up when you ready to go . That food looks like it’s for the kind of ppl who are in there. Also, I think he just didn’t like the camera .
YES! I was hoping you'd leave that food! From the MJ review to this one, MJ appeared to be tastier but you didn't (i dont think) take anything from there. I was shocked you even considered taking the purple pig's food🤷
The place is very busy and I think the waiter was harried a bit. I don't think he intentionally set out to create bias. He is trying to do his job as best he can, but no one is perfect all the time. Grace is needed in this situation. If the waiter continues to overlook and give poor service then mention it or just let it be reflected in a poor tip.
You did the right thing Darius let it be known. Sorry once again that you had to experience racist bias terrible just terrible and you waiting on tables and you need my tip but not today.🤦🏽♀️🤨🧐SMH
Purple Pig is one of my favorite restaurants in the city. I’ve never ordered any of the items you’ve gotten except for the kabobs but I hate that the server was rude to you
He racist than a mu*** a Baby!!!! Treatin ‘ my Darius like that! I’m NOT here for the Purple Pig, Chicago! I will be passing them by! And the food wasn’t all that either?!?! Let em have it Nephew! Luv, Your COGIC AUNTY❤❤❤❤❤
I feel like you are reviewing bad restaurants like Michael Jordan Steakhouse and now this place. Expose them please but maybe try a bunch if good restaurants like Cleo's.
Yahhh....he wouldn't have served me anything with that attitude and sorry explanation... At some restaurants, waiter/waitresses have an influence on how your food turns out as well. Especially if they're cool with the chef...be careful out there...
You made the couple next to you so uncomfortable…. but they could’ve asked to move as I would’ve the moment you sat down with your camera rolling. Y’all food bloggers have taken this all too far & if I were a restaurant owners no camera would be allowed, as they do in some places.
I am glad you addressed the issue immediately. It's been my experience that some people feel the need to put their best foot forward to certain individuals rather than just putting their best foot forward all the time! Good for you!
I am glad you wrote that note on back of receipt. Good idea. Thanks. Peace.

I always recommend this restaurant to guests at the hotel I work at but I have never been. After seeing this review, I won’t anymore.
I NOTICED THE SAME THING YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!!!
Wow thank you for showing that display and the difference in the way u were treated. I am VERY intentional about where I spend my money. I am from Chicago and I will NOT patronize this establishment. ❤ Stay BLESSED KEEP DOING WHAT YOU DO ❤

❤ Mr.Cooks I agree with you that waiter was bias but he should know you’re not the one for that. We witnessed that BS
I won't be trying THAT place when I go to chi town next week. Darius..thank u for this review. You just saved my taste buds!!❤❤❤
Did he say that the reason for the difference in service level was because it's just you? So you have to be two or more in order to get good service? That's okay Darius, their menu seems schizophrenic anyway.

I AGREE 👍
NEVER GO TOVTHIS RESTAURANT!!!😡
Hell now, as soon as I am seated in a restaurant I immediately look at the time cuz sometimes I feel like they forgot about me. Thanks for calling his azz out!
Dude wasn’t even apologetic… no thank you!
It’s so upsetting to witness this happening in this day and age. Thank you for allowing us to make a decision on where to dine or NOT! God bless you!!
It is what it is. WE will always have hate and racism
That’s An Absolutely Insane Menu. So The Drinks Are Strong To Keep People From Knowing How Piss Poor The Food Is!!
I feel you about the white beans 😂😂. Racism is alive and well. I loved it when you told them the tip on the back 😂😂
Durrrius, ur right. People still hating on the black bros. Persevere my bruh......Persevere 😁😁
You cracking me up '' IT'S ALRIGHT'!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I’m so sorry about your experience. You would think that we wouldn’t have to endure this kind treatment today but sadly we do; and no less than another minority. You have to stay prayed up and lifted

I won't b attending that place Darius they know better than that. I didn't expect that at home
Unfortunately, Chicago is one of the most segregated cities in America; but it’s more beautiful than most🎉
You should have addressed your poor service with the manager!!
Dang! Will be in Chicago and was going to check it out.
Won’t go there now. Vote with my wallet.
BTW - you addressed that perfectly.
I pay attention to this type of behavior all the time with restaurants and the servers.
I been looking for your channel!!! In so grateful you posted today have a blessed Sunday!
Do u wash your hands after u touch them menus & I'm not being mean. I watched a show years ago & they said menus, gas handles & grocery cart are the most nastiest.
Well, I would of had the drink, and my check and left, no one deserves to be treated like that. And no tips.
I took my son there many years ago. It was a tapas restaurant with a large eclectic menu. There really was nothing memorable about the experience. My son is 29; we went when he was either in junior high or high school. I haven't been back.
You know when it's time to go....😮
We have to stop apologizing for making it about race, when it’s clearly about race. IT IS WHAT IT IS.

Like your reviews 👍👍👍👍
After you came by they coming up with a policy to ban video reviews 😂
@@princeanthonymuzic1135 I bet they did change the policy!
I Love this show. Your commentary is Hilarious. This should be on Netflix.
Oh wow! I can't I can't believe it please set down and ask what he wants to drink?? Please! I was worried you really didn't have the experience that the white people got..
I Can't!
Me personally,
I would have gotten up and left!
He immediately made up an excuse. I saw that too.
Thx for calling out the waiter 💯

Everything he ate had saliva from the waiter😂😂😂😂😂.I would love to see him in a cooking competition 😏, they would tear him up😂
Thank you so much for this review you are a very patient man. I was done with the racist treatment I definitely won’t patronize now
Gm, Darius and Chat 💋
Love the faces you make
You should not pay for a dish that’s salty. I would have asked for them to take that off of my bill. For you to pay for a dish that you didn’t like, doesn’t bother them because even though you didn’t like it, you still paid for it.
He want get a dime from me as a tip.
Naw he is looking at who bill might be bigger so he can get dat tip
Lol he ordered enough food for 2 people tho. I would never go there after seeing this video.
Or who he thinks is more "likely to to tip".
I love your faces...and when say ok..u its over with.😂
You have to check out Yo's Yummy's Catering Restaurant LLC, It's on the Westside of Chicago 4800 W.Chicago Ave Suite 1,It's a Great Soulfood Dishes and they serve wine 🍷 ❤😊
Jason, my man you still didn't answer the question.
Love your work, only been to Chicago twice
What did the waiter said I didn't understand him.
Love your videos ❤
Yeah I am HUGE on customer service and this would have been an immediate fail for me. I’m glad you stayed to review it for us though.
Shoo they might spit in your food now, and you will never know, since you questioned him..
Darius , I love you ! You crack me up when you ready to go . That food looks like it’s for the kind of ppl who are in there. Also, I think he just didn’t like the camera .
Pretty Sure He’s Not The 1st To Go In With A Camera, Plus He Really Wasn’t Even On Camera So That Excuse Is Void.
You are right on the waiter and voice had a " Bite,"to it with the Bad come back !
If that waiter treated all the customers the same way/fairness, an excuse nor reasoning would be needed.
His explanation for why he greeted you differently was insufficient. It did not explain why he didn't give you the same courtesy.
You deserve respect when you pay yours money at these restaurants. 😥
Yeah that drink would have stayed there
I would've got the check and bounce. How you giving them a presentation, and over look me.
Why was he eating the tomatoes w a knife!!!
Your treatment as a customer/diner is one of THE reasons why I do not patronize restaurants unless absolutely necessary!
YES! I was hoping you'd leave that food! From the MJ review to this one, MJ appeared to be tastier but you didn't (i dont think) take anything from there. I was shocked you even considered taking the purple pig's food🤷
Absolutely ‼️ so ridiculous
We have to stop going to these restaurants that don’t respect us. Especially these Restaurants who don’t respect us all.
Don’t tip him bad service
The place is very busy and I think the waiter was harried a bit. I don't think he intentionally set out to create bias. He is trying to do his job as best he can, but no one is perfect all the time. Grace is needed in this situation. If the waiter continues to overlook and give poor service then mention it or just let it be reflected in a poor tip.
🥱
Please do let’s ask him. I wanna know all of America wants to hear his answer behind this.🤔
No bro ham no wrong answer that’s not it you only one person did he say something about some snacks?🤦🏽♀️🙆🏽♀️👀🤨🧐 what the hell
PS HE DOSE NOT GET A TIP
You did the right thing Darius let it be known. Sorry once again that you had to experience racist bias terrible just terrible and you waiting on tables and you need my tip but not today.🤦🏽♀️🤨🧐SMH
I really " Thank You !!!!" I don't have to waste my money, I would have been quite disappointed.
That's world that we live in , sad😮
After the explanation and attitude from the server I would have got up and left. Not acceptable 😡
I guess i won't be going there
Purple Pig is one of my favorite restaurants in the city. I’ve never ordered any of the items you’ve gotten except for the kabobs but I hate that the server was rude to you
Sorry u had to go thru that. I never seen any of your reviews like this. 😢
I'm from the Hunnid'z , I would have walked.
Nothing on that menu sounds appealing
Leave out the green tip and then he will act right next time! I leave reviews all of the time under the restaurants website without hesitation.
He racist than a mu*** a Baby!!!! Treatin ‘ my Darius like that! I’m NOT here for the Purple Pig, Chicago! I will be passing them by! And the food wasn’t all that either?!?! Let em have it Nephew! Luv, Your COGIC AUNTY❤❤❤❤❤
I understand where yoy coming from we deal witn that same behavior in Miami
Am I the only one who didn’t like the Asian woman who kept side-eyeing him. Pissing me off!
You see that waiter at the other table there the same messy waiter
Well dang! He’s ready to go 😮😅
I feel like you are reviewing bad restaurants like Michael Jordan Steakhouse and now this place. Expose them please but maybe try a bunch if good restaurants like Cleo's.
When it’s alright 😂
Look at his facial expressions! 😅
Oh oh. Started out good but broccolini and cucumber salad … 2/5.
IT IS WHAT IT IS
Well I think da naacp & sa Missionary Baptist Church would consider this ah no fly zone thoo cuh-cuhsz
She took drugs did u see that
These mofo didn't pass the vibe check. They just lost a lot of potential business!! The menu sounds very low vibration 🤔 for the price 😳
Left him speechless and gagged the big bad wolf
PLEAS ASK
Yahhh....he wouldn't have served me anything with that attitude and sorry explanation...
At some restaurants, waiter/waitresses have an influence on how your food turns out as well. Especially if they're cool with the chef...be careful out there...
You made the couple next to you so uncomfortable…. but they could’ve asked to move as I would’ve the moment you sat down with your camera rolling. Y’all food bloggers have taken this all too far & if I were a restaurant owners no camera would be allowed, as they do in some places.
Now the problem…. Too salty!
Did he even ask if you had any questions
Waiter didn’t even check on him
