I received a response regarding the situation from the owner of Triv’s restaurant, Mike Trivisonno Jr. Some of the interesting facts revealed by Mike were:

• Maxwell never ate at the restaurant
• He was forced to admit never eating at the restaurant to his superiors.
• Coincidentally, very soon after Maxwell’s false statements the restaurant underwent a surprise health inspection and passed with flying colors. 

So in fact, Maxwell never ate at Triv’s restaurant but instead lied about getting food poisoning there.  Why would anyone do that?

Mike Jr. seems to think that Maxwell made these statements because he has some issues with Mike’s dad and thought it would be a good way to get back at him.  Boy jealousy has a way of making you do some pretty pathetic things.

Just think.  If Maxwell would have spent as much time thinking of some intelligent dialogue for his show as he did for these lies, he might have the number one radio show in Cleveland.  Ok, probably not.

This story brings up a interesting issue for me.  I consistently get accused and threatened for the opinions I post on this site, especially those regarding bad experiences I have had at restaurants.  While I often use colorful language to describe these events, I have always been completely truthful about my experience.  Lying or even exaggeration of events is completely wrong, but more importantly it is unfair to the business owners. 

If Maxwell did lie about his experience, he should apologize and hope to hell he doesn’t get sued.
