Was the disappearance of Mr. Angelino and Felipe ever explained?

I think k272br has a good point. When Jack opened Jack's Bistro, Felipe was NOT hired on as head chef there. I think it's correct to say that Felipe continued to work at Angelino's and perhaps finally made it to the position of head chef that he wanted so much. In the few episodes where Felipe worked at Jack's Bistro, he was only there to assist but he wasn't a regular there.

In the episode "The Brunch", which was also Felipe's final appearance, Jack tells Mr. Angelino something like he will be too busy to cook anything since he will be too busy hosting all the customers, including the Reverend. Mr. Angelino then replies by saying something like, "Don't worry, I will send Felipe." Jack then makes some comment about being embarrassed to bother Felipe on his day off.

But the point is, when Mr. Angelino stated that he will send Felipe, the obvious implication is that Felipe still worked at Angelino's and Mr. Angelino was his direct boss. Therefore, I don't think Felipe could be fired by Jack because Jack was never his direct boss since Felipe was not actually employed at Jack's Bistro.
