And that year, for his birthday, he got six pink ping pong balls in a little pink backpack.
Sometimes I wonder if I’ll ever grow tired of Nathen’s blizzard of untreated mental illness, and then I hear he wants to make an animated series of Not Garfield with Messianic Delusion, We Promise, and lol, rofl, and furthermore, lmfao

To be honest, I'm not sure that Nathen is ever going to get the money to do anything on the scale of GarfieldEATS again. A restaurant has probably been the least terrible of his business ideas; being some kind of hotshot restauranteur who's bankrolled by Daddy is actually attainable. Or it would be if Nathen wasn't such a petulant weirdo

Anyone else's phone recognize GarfieldEATS as a word, and then died a little inside?

He's not a chef, what are you talking about? He's not even interested in opening another restaurant, he's trying to make TV shows and licensing agreements. His father was probably willing to pay for GarfieldEATS because a gimmicky fast food place is the least senseless of Nathen's ideas. I just have this feeling that between Nathen's track record and how stupid his ideas are, his father isn't going to pay for another business venture. He'll probably still pay for his living expenses, but I don't think Mr. Mazri is interested in giving money towards Egeez or Nathfield the Animated Series

Someone farther up the thread found where it came from. It was just another rebranded product. The only thing Nathen really came up with was the Garfield-shaped pizza crusts

It's impressive how he screwed himself with this. He could've been moderately successful by selling this poo poo to the Garfield people because it's absolutely the sort of poo poo that sells to the As Seen On TV market.

Probably his lack of anything resembling focus, drive, an understanding of what the customer wants, an understanding of food, an understanding of customer service, etc. I'm not praising him. I'm just saying that the restaurant business is full of crazy assholes.

Interesting question, is there anyway a Garfield themed restaurant chain could of really worked in some how 2020 (minus the covid stuff)?

Like I feel like Garfield isn't exactly the cultural giant that it used to be, and seems like restaurants now days are going more healthy/gourmet/independent.

On the other hand I guess if the food had been actually decent and reasonably priced :shrug:

The whole thing just feels so incredibly 80's- early 90's even if it had somehow been quality I still have a hard time seeing it working in more than one or two location as a weird novelty.

So we agree on Nathen being his own worst enemy. I just don't think Nathen is your typical failed restaurateur, in that owning a restaurant is his dream and life's work and he's actually passionate about food. He loves Garfield and attention, he's not interested in food service except to sell off his weird lasagnas, and sometimes give him clout for social media

I truly feel like Nathen's dad told him to pick a business, and "automated Garfield restaurant" was the least terrible idea he had. Like, Nathen presented his dream notebook to his dad, and the pages with drawings of robots serving pizza were the only thing that could be turned into a viable business

Oh yeah. He's out of his mind for sure. He's definitely not typical. He also doesn't give a poo poo about the food. The food was secondary to Garfield.

“Not typical” only in the sense that he has an infinite pool of money to pull from for do-overs. Plenty of people have bad restaurant ideas that just fail outright (lookin’ at you, Doobs)

In a sense I suppose he reminds me of that Kitchen Nightmares guy who was convinced he could turn his failing restaurant into a franchise and eventually a frozen food empire based on his choose your own adventure menu.
