Late night bar seating at a dying restaurant

I want you to tell me

I was about to push back on 96up's assertion that the hospitality industry is still as toxic as ever, but then trag's post about Barbara Lynch would just undermine it.

Yes.

[wease]

She’s a full-on alcoholic who hasn’t competently worked a line herself for a long time, who is regularly and casually fully drunk at work, and both sexually and violently assaults her staff, uses bigoted language to demean her staff, and who generally extracts as much value as she can from overworked/underpaid workers because she got a ton of deserved accolades 20 years ago

You’re thinking of Mario Batali.

sounds like the dramatic arc of the foodservice celebrity

know when to hold ‘em

know when to fold ‘em

The whole "back of the house" culture thing of restaurants is so fucking stupid.

[96583UP]

i agree whites ruin everything cause they think too highly of themselves

i much prefer mild mannered ecuadorian labor humbly making delish dishes in the back and going home to take care of their families with no jazzy flim flam

Hospo blows. It's a trauma bond. Let them have this.

It's toxic masculinity and I will not stand for it.

Seems like an unusually high number of restaurants have shut down without notice recently. Several places in Baltimore have closed completely out of the blue since just before the new year.

I believe Shula’s is still kicking in Chicago.

I haven’t been to the inner harbor in like a decade but I’m gonna say there is no chance it’s still there, everything in that weird mall area has closed and they’re tearing it down. They discovered a body right in harbor place this week, so it seems like the inner harbor is returning to its natural state.
