Pepper Lunch is from Japan.

Pepper Lunch restaurants nationwide close after outbreak of O-157

On May 9, 2007, there was a gang-rape incident in Osaka, Japan.
A woman went into a steak restaurant called Pepper Lunch in Shinsaibashi, Osaka, to have a late night meal and was served with a stun gun, sleeping pills, kidnapping and gang-rape. She was kept at a garage until somehow managed to escape next morning. A manager of the restaurant, Daisuke Kitayama, and an employee, Masanobu Miyake, were arrested while they were working at the restaurant like nothing ever happened.
There are so many things to argue about this awful incident.
First, from what I hear, there aren’t enough media coverage on this incident. I have always had a great deal of distrust in Japanese media (journalism? whaaaaa?) but seriously, WTF!? Is there anything they have to hide about the incident, the company or those criminals? There wasn’t an official news release of this crime until 17th of May. It happened on 9th!
Second, those criminals totally planned this. The garage they used to bring her into and keep her was rented before that day. It’s possible they’ve done similar crimes before.
Third, a parent company that owns Pepper Lunch Shinsaibashi, Pepper Food Service, has the same restaurants all over Japan but they are all operating as usual. Well, I guess you could argue that those other stores do not have to close just because of an evil-doing of one store and the company did post an apology notice on the other stores. But I say this company just doesn’t care, especially since it restarted its commercials on the media already.

Hi! didn't like pepper lunch either. For one thing it's too expensive with only little bits of meat and tons of rice on my plate. I found it TOO OILY and GREASY although you're right the garlic soy sauce was indeed something with out it I wouldn't even have finished half the rice on my plate! After eating there my hair smelled bad too! I hate that! and I also felt as if I just clogged an artery. SimplePleasures last blog post..Going Bananas!

Pepper Lunch Sucks pati owner

Isn’t Cecile Van Straten the owner together with his kusinero asawang puti? Naku po, yan si Cecile Van Straten tsismosa yan. Sabi niya sa ” I wash my hands entry” na ”
I fear for this person and hope that a lesson is learned, for what will you profit if you gain Marc Jacobs but lose your soul?”

Eh siya rin naman contributor ng Chikatime, aber. Mga readers nya na social climbers lang naman gustong kumain diyan to say that they are sosyal.

[...] Pepper Lunch is different from Sizzling Pepper Steak Author: wauks // Category: BBQ & Grilled Restaurants, Random Stuff Okay, this is a much needed updated on my previous review of Sizzling Pepper Steak. Apparently, Pepper Lunch, who has branches in Shangrila and Power Plant, is totally different from Sizzling Pepper Steak. I really have no clue on who came on first but I like both places. I would have to give an edge to Pepper Lunch though since they serve a mean Salmon steak. I compiled a few blog posts about this controversial issue for everyone’s reading pleasure.
