Sag Harbor - Ed "Jean Luc" Kleefield, proprietor of Hamptons eateries JLX Bistro, Grappa Wine Bar, Prime 103 and Madame Tong's, turned himself in and was subsequently arrested in Sag Harbor Monday, June 22 for issuing bad checks, a second such offense in the last two months.

from Sag Harbor says:
Ed has ruined two prime business spaces for 3-
4 years in Sag Harbor. Not paid employees,
vendors, everybody. Writes bad checks. Lies
openly and repeatedly. He actually claims
that these checks were forgeries and he is
condsidering a lawsuit. Yeah, right. Against
one of your managers who desparately issued
the checks in order to keep your house of
cards floating one more day. This man is
truly a pathetic parasite and need 5-10 years
in the Big House. Bon Voyage. PS. Where's
that clown you promised for the opening of
Mumbo Gumbo? I showed up and NO CLOWN!
Probably didn't pay him.
Tom Boxer
from The Hamptons says:
No matter what alias he uses, French or
otherwise, he's still just plain "Ed" -
another flash-in-the-pan, wanna-be superstar
that everyone fawned over when he arrived, but
turned out to be just another carpetbagger who
left a wake of unpaid workers and outstanding
bills behind him. Behind bars is just where
he belongs, and I'm sure his cell-mates will
have another fitting alias for him.
Dodger
from Southampton Village says:
If I wasn't feeling so sorry for the employees
of these restaurants, I would suggest a
boycott of them all. How many violations of
employment law can this guy break and still
run a business???
Red Devil
from Mariner Dr. says:
Jean Luc is over baby.
Mike
from Sag Harb says:
Jean-Loser. He's the gift that keeps on giving
for the local news.

Clarice from So. Hamptons says:
I feel bad for anyone who dines at Madam Tongs. There is no dishwasher on premise. They are washing dishes by hand. The place is a filty disaster and the Board of Health was notified but saw no action. I don't get it! Jean Luc your a mennace.
