Aaron Sanchez Can’t Pay The Bills?
Posted on July 28th 2010 by Jillian Madison

Aaron Sanchez has a restaurant in NYC called Paladar. When you visit the website, you’re met with a curious little message:

Yikes. Good luck with that, Aaron. Let us know if you’d like us to start up a fund.

(Thanks for the tip, Cathy!)

    If i were him, id pay the hosting fees and hire a real web designer, looks like whoever did it, built it with microsoft word cerca 1995

    • KitKatHi says:

      I agree, the website design looks horrible. Also sides are $6!! I love black beans and rice and would never pay six freakin dollars for that! I have never heard of Aaron until I saw en episode of Chopped.If he cant even afford to keep the website up I dont see how he can afford to run that restaurant.

    • Bonzy22 says:

      I was thinking same thing. it looks really bad lol

  2. Ludwig says:

    Screw saving the website, I say we start a fund to buy a pair of hedge clippers so he can tame his demented topiary eyebrows.

  3. Daria says:

    Something seems very fishy about this and I wonder if his website hasn’t been hacked.

      • Polly says:

        That’s the expiration of the domain name that he needs to renew as well. He’s more likely behind on paying for the bandwidth of the site, which you usually pay monthly.

  4. stellapurdy says:

    haha Carlos, I was thinking the same thing. What a horrible design

  6. hairball says:

    I think he has just been CHOPPED!!!!!!!

  7. Chris says:

    Aaron and his bumchum Chris Cosentino need to just vanish…forever.

    • Dwayne Thibodeaux says:

      And learn to run like men.

    • chicken feets says:

      “bumchum” I am so going to steal that for future use. I’ll pay virtual royalties :)

    • numb says:

      Dude…. Aaron is definitely a joke, but Chris is both an amazing person and an amazing chef – not to mention a strong voice for expanding the American culinary palate.

      • Dwayne Thibodeaux says:

        I agree Cosentino is a great chef, so why the fuck is doing all this stupid reality show nonsense and making himself look like a wanker ?

        And you’re right.Sanchez is useless pepperbelly.

      • Heidi says:

        I love how Aaron always says, “Oh, I’m great with spicy! I’m Latino! I can do spicy!” and then he cries like a little girl while Chris just digs in and gets it done. No fanfare. No bragging. I’ve only seen Chris on the Chef vs. City thing, but he seems to know his way around the culinary world. I’m amazed at the stuff he knows, like the best way to make sausage, or the easiest way to find clams. Like he’s been educated about these things or something.

        Maybe they need to start teaming him up with Alton.

  8. Di says:

    Maybe Aaron just needs to hire a better bookkeeper, heh?
    Whatever, that’s pretty publicly embarrassing.

  9. NickCagePyramid says:

    Better hawk some more queso fresco… andelay…

  10. Aimee says:

    Am I the only one who thought Aaron had on a straitjacket in that pic?

  11. Jerry says:

    I think you are missing the bigger point… the site sucks. It says the restaurant was founded in 2000… and I think the site remains untouched since then.

  12. Carrie says:

    That’s really sad. Plus, that site looks like something I created in my Desktop Publishing class in 1993.

  13. thelastgambit says:

    Looks like it got hacked…the email address is fishy, and obviously not from GoDaddy. :/
    Too bad the notice doesn’t cover the whole page; it’s hideous.

    • Who the hell would hack that restaurant page? I’m not buying it. The domain is registered at GoDaddy, but it makes no mention of who the web host is. The web host is separate, and they have access to all of your files and could easily have inserted that image if payment had not been received.

      • thelastgambit says:

        Scammers? Or it could be broke douchebags with caterpillar eyebrows not paying their hosting fees. Guess we’ll find out on Aug. 31, 2010. Someone should make a countdown clock.

      • Polly says:

        And who would go through the trouble of hacking his website just to put up a little box that says “hey, you didn’t pay your bills?” If it were really hacked, it’d be a collage of porn and shock sites (and pornographic shock sites) with Rick Astley embedded on loop in the background.

      • Jerry says:

        Occam’s Razor my friends… Occam’s Razor…

      • Anon says:

        A quick google search of that email address shows nothing but the Paladar site. I suspect it was hacked as a scam to try to get credit card information.

    • FLFarmer says:

      No, it wasn’t hacked. The email address is not fishy, since if you look at the WHOIS for the domain, the very same contact email appears right there. The domain is registered at GoDaddy, and whoever the “web host” is – and I use that term lightly – has also hosted it at GoDaddy. I would guess this is a “web designer” collecting fees for “hosting” the site when all they did was set it up at GoDaddy. Pretty craptacular thing to do, in my opinion, but then again, I AM a web host and we run our own servers. Deadbeats get suspended if they don’t pay attention to the various notices we send them. Nothing get attention like a little suspension.

  14. chicken feets says:

    Maybe he has bigger fish to fry. *shrug*

  15. taiki says:

    Unable to pay bills?

    Why am I suddenly reminded of every shit hole on Gordon Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares that can’t seem to get their shit together?

  16. Myrtle says:

    You know bugs me about Aaron Sanchez? How he pronounces his name all “hispanicky”, but isn’t Aaron a traditional Jewish name? I’ve never heard any other hispanic Aaron’s refer to themselves in that manner. Between him, Giada, and that other Latina chef, it’s gonna make me start to change the pronunciation of my name to Myrt-Tell.

    • J-Man says:

      Maybe he can auction off his accent mark to raise money and go back to being plain old Aaron.

    • Polly says:

      Many names come from one culture and are adopted in another. Aaron is a common Spanish name. Accenting the o is how it’s pronounced as a Spanish name. Benjamin is another name from the Judeo-Christian Bible that is pronounced, as a Spanish name, ben-ha-MIN.

      • Polly says:

        P.S. Although I’ll admit he rolls his ‘r’s too much (like all ‘r’s are ‘rr’s) and over-pronounces other Spanish words.

      • Dwayne Thibodeaux says:

        He was born and raised here, but ups his ethnicity for effect. Male version of Giada Titslinger.

    • HakunaFritatta says:

      When I lived in California, I knew lots of people of Mexican descent who had old testament-y names.

    • DenisDuckfat says:

      You know bugs me about latin men named Jesus? How they pronounce the name all “hispanicky”, but isn’t Jesus a traditional Greek name? Because we all know that words never ever ever change their pronunciation when they cross cultures. Ever. Not once. In the history of civilisation.

    • Baudelaire says:

      Hispanicky! I love it. I know Hispanic people who just can’t ever pronounce any word without a huge Spanish accent. Even in New York they go out of their way to call it “Nueva York.” Like we would ever call Puerto Rico “Port of Rico” or “Puerto of Riches”? Ridiculous. What really pisses me off honestly is the way hispanics just overdo the whole accent thing, but will IGNORE other languages accents. I know a guy who is hispanic and pronounces everything he can with a huge Spanish accent, but he can’t pronounce my husband’s name properly at all (because it’s FRENCH, OMG) even though he’s heard me say it a zillion times. It comes over as just hostile.

      Never saw AarrrrrrrrrrrOHN anywhere before Chopped, and honestly he’s intensely annoying and should go back under that rock he crawled out from.

      • DenisDuckfat says:

        Do they really go out of their way to call it Nueva york or is nueva york just the name of the place in spanish? Maybe Sandra Lee needs to come up with an Arizona cake for the people in this thread.

      • Liz says:

        I hear you, bro!

        How dare people with an accent continue to use that accent when they say words from other languages! How dare they call a place the term they’ve used all their life! They should be a lot more sensitive.

        • Nick says:

          Aaron Sanchez does not have an accent. He was born in Texas and raised in New York. He trills every R in everrrrything he says even when it is not necessary, required, or proper. He constantly talks about how great the spice was in food as he chugs water and has 2 more accomplished chef judges disagree with him. America is a melting pot and honestly I cherish that. But to repeatedly bring up your culture and get to the point of crying on national television because of how much it means to you seems to be going a bit far. . . especially when you are like so many others a second generation American. There are countless numbers of second generation citizens who do not make an intentional effort to say words with the accent, especially if it sounds like a bad parody of the actual language, that their parents used. Aaron appears obessed with never letting viewers think of him as anything but a minority. I find this odd because I would think that he would like to be known for what he is rather then just the token. He will always give nothing but praise for anyone who cooks anything spicy or anything ethnic because it allows him to tell a little story and use words like Paella or Pico De Gallo”. I believe Aaron Sanchez to be one of the most self centered, insecure and arrogant chefs I have ever heard talk. And anyone who has ever worked in the food industry knows that is quite a title.

  17. Nicky says:

    It seems to be fixed now, the message is gone.

  18. Ray says:

    Once again, the power and influence of FNH is revealed!

  19. PaulH says:

    Does the picture make him look like he’s got a big, oddly shaped, head? In the shot, he kind of reminds me of Exeter from the classic Sci-Fi movie, “This Island Earth”.

    • meg says:

      Ha! He totally looks like Exeter. He doesn’t need a website for his restaurant, just an interocitor.

      Speaking of the site, as of right now it is down.

  20. J says:

    The picture of him is gone too. LOL. Love this site.

  21. ryan says:

    Looks like that Casique queso fresco commercial dinero hasnt made it to his bank account yet

    AY DIOS MIO!!!!!!!!

  22. Marcel says:

    Guess whoever it was was serious – the webpage isn’t even up anymore!

    Someone get this guy a new graphic designer!

    and now the website is totally gone…curiouser and curiouser.

    HAHA!

  26. Mercy55 says:

    Oh my god, it’s been removed. XD

  27. Someone who is commenting says:

    Correct me if I’m wrong (I’m not fluent in spanish) but wouldn’t it make more sense to put those verbs into the command form rather then leave them in the infinitive? For example instead of COMER (to eat) it should be COME or instead of BEBER (to drink) it should be BEBE. Just my opinion…
