What gives?

Justkababs restaurant owner, also the owner of Salt and Pepper, Sahara, and Drumsticks turned back on his word, hid himself, and continues to hide.
I was called for an interview four Saturdays ago for a graphic design position. After a question and answer session, he gave me a sample assignment, a redesign of one of their menus, said he would email me the new text later that day, and told me the piece was due on Monday. He would review it and email me his comments, he said.
Here is the work I did (excluding the cover page). This is meant to function as a booklet with two staples along the central fold. The pages are arranged in reader order, not printer order.

pages two and three

pages four and five

pages six and seven

pages six and seven, version 2
The new text, he never sent; his comments, he never emailed; and my calls, he refuses to answer.
My question: what gives? My work sure beats the old menu designed by who knows who (himself?).

old menu (brochure style)
