While LAUSD is continuing to block him, he's focusing on Dino's fast food joint Patra's. He offered Dino $30,000 worth of top-of-the-line equipment and a chance to promote his restaurant on Ryan Seacrest's radio show, in exchange he just has to upgrade his beef patties to Jamie's butcher instead of the low-grade meat his currently using.
