Who owns the DeBary Diner?
The owner is the very vocal critic of President Joe Biden, Angie Ugarte. She has owned the diner in the Winn-Dixie plaza for around five years, according to reports. Beyond that, little is actually known about Ugarte. She doesn't appear to have a presence on social media. We did find the diner's Facebook page, but Ugarte herself doesn't appear to be on the platform. The diner's website says she is an "Award Winning, Classically trained French Chef", but it is unclear where she was trained.Reportedly, Ugarte's son-in-law serves in Iraq, so the Afghan crisis was personal for her. But before the notice, DeBary's Diner was just a local city staple, since it was opened 20 years ago. A look at the diner's inspection history shows that there are no severe violations since April 2019. For most parts, the diner and Ugarte have remained under the radar, until her sign on August 26. Well, now that sign has led to a huge surge in customers. She was forced to close the diner on September 2, after running out of food due to the surge in patrons.
"This is our slow season, but yesterday, it was all day long. My hours have been incredibly erratic for the last few days," she told customers lined outside. The Daytona Beach News-Journal reported that Ugarte has been getting calls "from all over the world, from Europe, trying to purchase meals for veterans." She's reportedly struggling to organize those meals, but noted that "I think that the veterans will be fed for the rest of the year at the rate I'm getting donations." On social media, a large number of supporters have shared Ugarte's story, as well as their own trips to the diner.
"OUTSTANDING service today at a great central Florida diner. The DeBary Diner was full of proud, America loving Patriots today for lunch," one user tweeted. Another said, "God Bless Our Soldiers!! Thank you DeBary Diner for saying it!" Another commented, "I had lunch Tuesday in a little restaurant named Debary Diner in Debary, Fl. There’s a sign at the door that says “If you voted for Biden you are not welcome here”. It was packed!!!"

And again, why is everyone assuming they are Republicans? They claimed they would have the same words for Trump, if he was still in charge.
Guess it's only natural to think they're republican voters since they tend to be the ones who actually show strong support and deep respect for our service members and are usually the much more patriotic ones.

That may well be, but in this case she has a personal stake with a son in law serving in Afghanistan.
That could be enough for a blue voter to see red.

Connecticut is a blue state yet has several Chick-Fil-A's within driving distance of New Haven, and one is at Mogegan Sun casino.I doubt many places are hostile to their business.
Then you are not paying attention. They are blocked from many airports, campuses, and cities. Hell, they are completely banned in other countries.

By all means, quote where I said they were Republicans.

You know how we know that is a lie? The owner is pretending to take a stand about the 13 servicemembers who died during the evacuation under Biden, but did not give a shit about the 64 who died during the occupation under Trump. They are full of shit, so are their patrons, and so are you.
