BBQ that is. Here’s the story. > **[Boners BBQ - Atlanta, GA](https://www.yelp.com/biz/boners-bbq-atlanta)** > > Specialties: Boners BBQ is a fast casual global BBQ joint that creates food porn by infusing Latin & Asian flavors into Southern American soul food. Established in 2001. conceived in 2001, we started by catering to film and movie production,... So, the owner reacted badly to a poor review on yelp and all hell has broken loose. As a soon to be deli operator, I find this story interesting. Some of the reviews now are pretty brutal and some are pretty funny. I sure would hate to be in his shoes. Anybody here ever eaten there? ---

Oops, you’re right. My link is actually to the yelp page. Some funny stuff there. ---

Boners Barbecue. That is worse than Butt Rub Barbecue, which we have were I live. They really should rename it Big Greasy Boners. Then I’d eat there. : puke : ---

Rule number one: never argue with a critic. The proper response to any unfounded online complaint is to pretend it doesn’t exist. You can’t win. If you ignore it, it will be forgotten, but if you decide to take action, you’re on ABC news, looking stupid. ---

Nerd rage can be a devastating thing. I don’t think this will go the way of [Cooks Source](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooks_Source_infringement_controversy) though. The apology, while I’m sure it was pure damage control, will calm the savage sun deprived trolls in their parent’s basements. ---

I remember that incident. It is hard for me to fathom anyone being so stupid. Boneheaded moves.
