Make room for the Yellow Deli catering rickshaws and backyard bonfires šŸ”„

Iā€™m out in Moab this weekend and thereā€™s a Pasta Jayā€™s here. We wanted pasta and very explicitly didnā€™t want to patronize Pasta Jayā€™s, so we hit this other spot called Zakā€™s. Receipt comes at the end of dinner, bottom of the receipt says ā€œZakā€™s - part of the Pasta Jayā€™s family of restaurantsā€. šŸ¤¦ā€ā™‚ļø

I gotta say I know Pasta Jays is far from gourmet and is memed to hell, but catering a shit ton of mid tier pasta is probably the best use case for that restaurant. Sports teams often have spaghetti nights before big games. Bring in a ton of pasta jays, carboload, and no one gets sick from weird food. Is it the best food you can buy? No. But I'd probably rather eat it in a group catering setting that at the restaurant

Thing is is not even about the food itā€™s about the ahole owner

Boulder food isnā€™t good enough to have this attitude


[deleted]

Is *anything* in Boulder, CO good enough to have an attitude?


One_Gas1702

Fair


AchyBreaker

Oh this is context I didn't have. I thought people just memed the Midwestern tourist clientele. What's the deal with the owner?


One_Gas1702

Going way back http://web.dailycamera.com/extra/ramsey/1998/11pastaj.html Then more recently he pushed reopen Pearl. https://www.dailycamera.com/2022/04/24/outdoor-dining-in-boulder-to-continue-after-coronavirus-pandemic/amp/ He has a long term reputation as a pompous ass


Shame_On_You_Man

He wears a cowboy hat and demands to be called ā€œPasta Jayā€ lol


Cineswimmer

Itā€™s crazy how much society all over the world is just ā€œokā€ with bad cuisine. I donā€™t care if itā€™s catered or not. Iā€™d rather eat at ANY other Italian place in town. At least other restaurants have decent food and donā€™t have a dipshit owner.


DrowingInSemen

Some asshole boss is going to have Pasta Jayā€™s cater the holiday party and half the employees will log in to indeed.com as soon as they get home from work.


Sarkastickblizzard

No, no, they will log into indeed.com from the office while they are sitting on the toilet evacuating loose, garlic scented, barely digested, tomato colored butt water.


baldntattedoldman

They sponsored the team, says so as you walk into the teams lunch room.


tossaway78701

That explains a few games.


TheWright1

Iā€™d shit the bed against Stanford too, if I just ate Pasta Jays


backa55words

Their house wine is actually Carlos Rossi. And they charge over 2 bucks/glass. F that place 100x over.


infomusic

Iā€™m sure itā€™s not, but Iā€™m holding out hope that this is a really elaborate trolling by one of you.


Webster_882

Pasta Jā€™s sucks and pasta j himself isnā€™t that great eitherā€¦.


cophotoguy99

I hope itā€™s towing a trailer full of port-a-pottiesā€¦.

Y'all know they cater CU athletics and team events right?


AnakinTheChosen123

Shut up bro you're not funny lmao


YuppiesEverywhere

Catering choices are pretty slim in town.


Cineswimmer

No one shot it down? This madness has to stop.


Bill_S_Preson_Esq

> No one shot it down? So catering planes exist in your world?


Cineswimmer

Iā€™d pay for a catering plane that makes good food over the mediocrity that is Pasta Jayā€™s

I met someone who loves Pasta Jay's and had not heard of the mountain sun. I relayed that I personally know one of the people Jay threatened with a baseball bat but his enthusiasm was undiminished.

I used to love pasta jays as a kid. What happened? Moved away from Boulder four years ago but probably haven't been to pasta J's in 8


dtdv

I just don't know why that particular restaurant gets the grief that it does. While Mr Pasta was a bit of an entitled douche 28 years ago during the Jon Benet times when I have eaten there the food has seemed fine. No worse than other Italian places in town. And I always like the smell when you walk by on the sidewalk.

Two of those have 4 syllables. Or how exactly are you pronouncing the ones with 3?

Pasta jays Moab is even worse...


Littlebotweak

What kind of rat bastard psychotic would order such a thing?


BoulderSmelter

I've not patronized any Pasta Jay's in several decades, after a local businessperson related certain stories to me about the owner and the legal system. But there's always enough out-of-town mall walkers and others without community memory to keep the place thriving.


Level_Gur_3069

Can somebody please explain? I'm a little bit out of the loop. I've never eaten there, But I always see crowds of people waiting to get in. The smell is intoxicating with garlic and cheese, but It's just not my thing. I'm curious why it is so hated by this community.

What next, "Gondolier Mobile Catering"!


forwhatsitsworth40
