couple of things.
the room with the digging from instagram https://i.imgsafe.org/0aac970f94.jpg and https://i.imgsafe.org/0aab857046.jpg is 100% in CPP. Check video recon here with shots of the back "party room" and stop it from 5:29 to 6:03. You can even see the blue ping pong table folded up in frame 5:50 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKTiUaloDDA What I noticed that no one has talked about is that the floor is about 3 feet deeper after the renovations. That is an illegal modification to the building. And maybe they did it to make a stage where bands can perform back there as well. Notice how he goes down stairs at around 5:29 and then back up at 5:50.
The other stores in that development all have basements so why wouldn't CPP in the front?
CPP has an extended back section, where the said instagram photos from 1 above are located. That must have been added on after the strip mall was built way back when.
"We don't even have a basement" doesn't mean that his other restaurant, Bucks doesn't technically lease the basement space and make his statement legally accurate at the time he said it. Don't forget JA is surrounded by lawyers in his circles so they come up with this shit all the time to CYA.
edit to fix formating
