thats mine.....

In the 1960’s, Abe Saffron builds his criminal empire. On the other side of the globe, Tiny Tim and Andy Warhol cross paths multiple times and collaborate.

Fast forward decades. During an episode of Kitchen Nightmares, Gordon Ramsay visited The Burger Kitchen in Los Angeles. The Burger Kitchen was run by Alan Saffron, son of Abe Saffron. Suspecting an investigation, Alan gives Gordon a book attempting to bargain a plea, acknowledging his father’s criminal activity. Abe Saffron was a suspect for arson after the 1979 Ghost Train fire which occurred at Luna Park- the venue for Tiny Tim's singing marathon. Martin Sharp, who was the designer for the band Cream's album art (as well as a lyricist), dubbed “Australia’s answer to Andy Warhol”, collaborated with Tiny Tim beforehand, creating countless pop art portraits of the singer. After the fire, Sharp became obsessed with the idea that Tim's performances were linked to the fire.

3 years later, in 1982, Andy Warhol films a video of himself eating a burger, playing it off as a piece of performance art.

Tiny Tim's song "Livin' In the Sunlight, Lovin' in the Moonlight' was featured in the pilot episode of SpongeBob SquarePants, where SpongeBob applies to work at a burger restaurant that is run by a greedy owner.

2019- NFL airs the Warhol video as an ad, the next year Alan Saffron dies, supposedly from a heart attack.

Rewatching the Mill Street eps and all we know Joe lies about his food being fresh with it being frozen

But what about the farm? Did he just lie to the production about having a farm so he could brag to Gordon? It’s weird because I feel like no one has brought this up
