-Marina del Rey, Ca.
-After a $750,000, 1-year deal received no response from the embattled former chef Stephen Dreim, Tuesday morning Scouter Stefanie McOneguew and her team offered up a $764,000, 2-year deal instead, which Dreim promised to "contemplate."
After the $750K offer came and went without any word, on Monday night Dreim released a statement saying he wanted an offer that would have "at least $760,000" and which would be a multiyear deal, for three years at the least. FF scouters reached across the aisle on the one issue, but Dreim's reputation is on such rocky ground that Feast Fest wants to just patch up things for this Thanksgiving and go into in-depth negotiation in an offseason. This had led to the one-year only provision of the earlier offer, and made it such that scouters were unwilling to add more than one additional year to the revised offer, making for a $764K, 2-year deal. Dreim also wanted the offer to be staggered; Feast Fest said no to that.
"It's the best we can do for now," McOneguew said. "We can't give him everything he asks for. At this point, he might as well ask for a magical flying unicorn and it wouldn't be much more nonsensical than what he's demanding now. If Dreim wants to be rehired, he needs to realize that he has to meet in the middle someplace."
Dreim released a brief, emotionless five-word statement Tuesday: "I will contemplate this offer."
