[edit] Restaurants in NYC?

The prior version included this sentence: "He is also co-proprietor of four restaurants in Manhattan, New York." Curious, I looked around to try and find out which restaurants were Bayless-affiliated, but I couldn't turn up anything. With Google failing to support this, I'm presuming that this isn't true, so I removed the sentence. Am I wrong? Can anyone give support for this claim? -- Padjet1 21:15, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] NPOV

QUOTE: In 2003, Bayless courted controversy when he signed on as a paid shill for Burger King.

"shill" is defined as One who poses as a satisfied customer or an enthusiastic gambler to dupe bystanders into participating in a swindle. and is therefore an unencylopedic term. Jackbox1971 19:23, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

I agree that the wording is too POV and not encyclopedic. However, the fact that he appeared in Burger King ads is encyclopedic, and probably should be incorporated into the article in a neutral-point-of-view fashion. -- 20:40, 10 November 2007 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.104.112.105 (talk)
