As we get older we need a sense of safety. A young brave Puerto Rican chef, crime was manageable but with age and illness, the writing is on the wall. I wish he could have been more forthcoming but he doesn’t want to disparage the city that has given him so much. I’m sure he’ll be successful at his new location because his food is good. In the meantime we’ll pray for him and Oakland.
First the Raiders then the As and now people who care about the community? But they can’t get rid of crime, homeless, and the corrupt politicians and law enforcement? WTH?! 🤦🏽♂️
😂 ! He could have just been honest and said he left because of crime ! It literally showed his son being robbed at gun point ! That would make me want to leave honestly !!!
Chef Cheo is obviously fond of Oakland and doesn’t want to bad mouth the city on his way out. Everyone knows about the problems that Oakland is facing. It’s time for the next generation to pick up the fight to save Oakland.
“I worked with the Oakland Police…so I always was around criminals.” - This quote is going to age really well. I fully expect this quote to come up again and again in the near future. California does not have a Puerto Rican culture. In NYC, there are more folks from Puerto Rico and the Dominican than there from Mexico. NYC even has a really well attended Puerto Rican Day Parade. And the Yankees have a Puerto Rico’s Day at the Ballpark to honor and appreciate our Puerto Rican brothers and sisters. In NYC, PR means Puerto Rico; in California it means public relations. It’s sad to see a slice of PR life leaving Oakland. Hope the legend has a long life after recovering from cancer.
Dominican with family ties in Puerto Rico here. I paid this restaurant a visit and got to meet the owner. he himself told me that public safety is a big problem in that part of town.
So he's expecting less business in Castro Valley because Oakland is more busy? his testimony is B.S. Castro Valley is one of the better cities in the East Bay where police actually respond to calls and where the schools out perform neighboring cities.
He’s been in Oakland for a long time and has loyal customer so of course he’s busy there. in Castro Valley he’ll probably have less customers and he’ll be slower. Plus in Oakland it seemed like he did stuff for the community that he no longer wants to do because he’s older and sick.
GOOD JOB BRANDON..., Goood let hope more business move out of oakland, your life is more valuable than anything in life, I have an idea to fix this let DEFUND THE POLICE...
It's honorable that he won't badmouth his city, but he also admits he isn't intimated by criminals because his work brings him into contact with them all of the time. The average citizen that desires safety and security, and gets out of there to go find it elsewhere doesn't have the same kind of mentality. Good for him if his son being robbed at gunpoint is no big deal - but to some people, it would be. Some people would relocate to try to keep their kids safe.
if he actually care about crime and "criminals", he would realize that the police officers that he shakes hands with are also criminals. they just haven't been caught or held accountable
@@ltx383 cry more, bootlicker. The tyrants that you worship aren't the heroes that the media and everyone else make them out to be. Sorry to ruin your fantasy
I am so sad to hear that he is suffering with cancer, I am praying for you G!
Too bad for the town! Good luck on your new chapter, we'll see you in Castro Valley

Puerto Rico will gladly take you back 😊

This guy is not Trash. He’s got class, Oakland gave him cancer
God Bless and Best of Luck.

Since when?
Food looks good
yuck
Gunfire exchange behind la perla couple hours before this post... 6pm 11/25/24.
That adds thrill to the dinning experience, for free😂
They call gunfire urban noises now.😂😂😂
@@IAMHERE486 'Noises' is too stigmatizing...they would call it 'the urban soundscape'
Oakland is one of the best city in the US geographically.
lol
He knows Oaklands going to tank bad, I don’t blame him
The dude has cancer, you muppet
Oakland is a dump!!!
"Going to?" It's already in the schitter.
@@sizzaul Yes, he has cancer. What is your excuse for your mental malfunction?
@@sizzaul thanks for calling me out, deserved.
Did he just say oakland is one of fhe best cities in the united states? 🙄
That was a waste of 50 years😂
Puerto Rican food is labor intensive. I wish him well and thank him for all he’s done.
Is this food good? I’ll try if it’s castro
"I know that Oakland is one of the best cities in the whole United States." Bro 😂
It's also about the food. Not many people lining up for it. I'm a neighbor and have never seen a crowd😢.
Wow!
Heartbreaking
Why wouldn’t they? Oakland is destroyed
check out the drama queen over here. could things be better? yup. has it been 'destroyed'? absolutely not.
its sad Oakland will never be safe but its not as bad as it used to be in the 90s
Yep

@@IAMHERE486 B.S. is he going to be slower in Castro Valley
Where will the restaurant be located in Castro Valley? Prayers for his health !
No PRs in CV
Grand opening, grand closing.
Hate crime. Cause this news station spelt Dimond wrong. If it is correctly spelled... then well Oakland hate crime.
Is english your second language?
@@robertsousa9550 HATE CRIME!
This man has common sense! Oakland is a DUMP!
Sol Food in San Rafael, Marin has two incredible and authentic Puerto Rican locations.
Plantation Marin is psuedo-richies and their pathetic lazy indentured servants.
Well, I can finally eat some arroz con gandules
Who wouldn't move out of Oakland?
There are plenty that won’t move out…. They instead run out!
50 years chasing homeless, gang bangers....save yourself
Is this the joint Bunny went to?
Did she actually say Oaklands shortfalls?
Seems like he wants Oakland to thrive but the city just keeps getting worse.
GOOD JOB BRANDON..., Goood let hope more business move out of oakland, your life is more valuable than anything in life, I have an idea to fix this let DEFUND THE POLICE...
Oakland is such a wonderful Democrat community ❤
Oakland is bankrupt
A city that celebrates diversity is the strength🤣
The best city?😂
Democrat Utopia….
Soon to be a Repugnican wasteland.

Keep voting Democrat.
He moves because with out many crimals around he can survive !!
Darkness is the best !😮😢😢
The result of woke policies.
Kamala should return and run it, cause Barbara Lee as Oakland mayor will run off businesses left and right.
who cares!!!
Oakland is garbage man idk wat u talking about
President Trump will fixed all the nonsense in little Haiti 🇭🇹, amigos
But will anybody fixed (sic) your English?
Bye
Good. Bye-bye.

You would be better off if you just stayed quiet
Sounds like something a criminal arrested by OPD multiple times lol.
