looked at him funny:
Recently on his radio program, Beck recounted an experience he had at what he insinuated was Neelys Barbecue Parlor in New York City. (Internet chatter says that it is indeed the restaurant of Food Network stars Pat and Gina Neely, since he described it in that way that everyone does when they try to remember famous chefs: My wife said, oh, my gosh, this is so‑and‑so very famous, you know, barbecue couple that do this barbecue thing, you know, on TV.)
And what happened to Mr. Beck? Was he openly jeered at, attacked, or served a cows stomach (though admittedly, they can be tasty)? No:
Well, I have to tell you, the look that I was given by those in charge at this restaurant was, how dare you even come in here. It was quite amazing. I said to my wife as we were walking up the stairs, I said, this isnt going to go well. And she said, no, this was really a mistake. This is a minority‑owned shop. Was that the line that I dared to cross? No? No, it couldnt be because there were white people in there. So it must be something else besides my character. Its amazing to me. One would think that ‑‑ you wouldnt want to shun people that might have diverse opinions. Maybe they could put a second door in or another entrance in for people like me.
The subtle slam of Neelys Barbecue Parlor resulted in the restaurant receiving threats from Beck listeners. Though they were unsure if Beck was calling them out specifically, the restaurant denied that they set out to bully Beck, even getting a very nice-sounding hostess who may have seated the Becks to go on the record to The Huffington Post:
