re: Carrollton Market - You Don't Like My Politics? I Don't Need Your Business

I’d just go enjoy some foie gras, some oysters, something off his meh wine list then leave an upper decker at the end of the night.

Best of both worlds.

I could be the poster child for white male privilege. My dad spent decades as a successful Wall Street executive. I grew up surrounded by wealth, immune to the struggles that people endure to make ends meet. My first foray into restaurant life, which was characterized by brutally hard work and low pay, burst that bubble quickly. But professional kitchens, under great management, can be true meritocracies where the quality of your work, not where you come from, determines the respect you receive. I felt a visceral attraction to this. Privilege had catalyzed my limited successes. I tried to hide my background. I needed to prove myself on my own. I wanted to become a beast.

I wouldn’t patronize just based off this paragraph alone. Not because of his politics but because he’s a huge douchebag.
