ChevyVanMiller Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 Former punter Brian Moorman and cornerback Terrence McGee have joined Fred Jackson as partners in SEAR, the steakhouse planned for the Avant, 200 Delaware Ave. http://buffalo.com/2016/06/08/news/food-drink/bills-players-add-sizzle-to-downtown-steakhouse/?utm_campaign=puma&utm_medium=social&utm_source=Facebook#link_time=1465421339
YoloinOhio Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 (edited) Nice!! Interesting that Pegula S&E are involved. Glad to see Fred has a positive relationship there with all the drama last summer. Edited June 8, 2016 by YoloinOhio
Bleeding Bills Blue Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 Likely using the connections he has for a post football career. Smart move
hondo in seattle Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 (edited) I know Buffalo already has the Buffalo Chophouse. Does it really need another high end steakhouse? Nonetheless, it's cool to see ex-Bills - especially Fred - investing in the city! “It’s not so much investing in a steakhouse as it is investing in a community we believe in, that we have a lot of love for,” said Moorman. “Buffalo’s not just a place I plan on forgetting about,” said Jackson. “It means more to me than just a place I played football. It’s a place my family will always consider home.” Edited June 8, 2016 by hondo in seattle
GG Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 Probably have a million left over from the M&T marketing budget
\GoBillsInDallas/ Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 And you wonder why most ex-athletes go broke after 5 years.
boyst Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 I don't think a steakhouse is a great investment. Yikes.
GG Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 I don't think a steakhouse is a great investment. Yikes. Where does your inventory go to?
Saxum Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 Jackson lives in Buffalo with his family during the off-season. He finished the 2015 season with the Seattle Seahawks, and is now a free agent. “We wanted a nice place that anyone could go to, have a nice steak and a good time doing it,” he said. I think he left out a few words: “We wanted a nice place that anyone who could afford to buy a box at the stadium could go to, have a nice steak and a good time doing it,” he said.
Saxum Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 High end meaning overpriced High end meaning exclusive so those with money do not need to associate with those without except as servers.
3rdand12 Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 well this turned out nicely. Wishing them well on a local business venture. It really is a nice tradition to have Athletes transition into the business/ social environment of the "hometown " I like it .
Augie Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 And you wonder why most ex-athletes go broke after 5 years. Beat me to it..... This is part of the formula. I do wish them well, though.
atlbillsfan1975 Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 I know Buffalo already has the Buffalo Chophouse. Does it really need another high end steakhouse? Nonetheless, it's cool to see ex-Bills - especially Fred - investing in the city! Its not so much investing in a steakhouse as it is investing in a community we believe in, that we have a lot of love for, said Moorman. Buffalos not just a place I plan on forgetting about, said Jackson. It means more to me than just a place I played football. Its a place my family will always consider home. I would hope The entire city of Buffalo could support more than 1 steak house?!
boater Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 I loudly applaud Moorman, Jackson and McGee... they rightfully have faith in the the future of Buffalo. I was born and raised here. Left and came back. Bflo is the place.
YoloinOhio Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 I would hope The entire city of Buffalo could support more than 1 steak house?!right? We have a ton in Cbus and they don't seem to ever lack for business.
tombstone56 Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 I THINK IT GREAT! but put it in WHEATFIELD on the BLVD. we need some more good diners !!
Kirby Jackson Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 And you wonder why most ex-athletes go broke after 5 years.I don't know, they have a pretty strong group. The restaurateur has a following and they have the right people involved. This isn't a kitchen being run by someone's cousin. The have the guy from Oliver's involved.
KellyToTasker Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 Sooo, how much are we talking? I know, plenty of variables...But on average, how much per plate? If I have to ask.... Probably too much for me. Maybe on a really special occasion.
hondo in seattle Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 I would hope The entire city of Buffalo could support more than 1 steak house?! For the sake of these guys, I hope you're right. I'm in the restaurant business and would worry about opening a high end steakhouse in a smaller, blue collar city that already has one. How many people in Buffalo want to buy $50 to $100 steaks and how often? I do like though that their concept sounds different than Buffalo Chophouse.
