“It’s like, we know you want us to jump from serving meat to going vegan,” Mr. Nischan said. “But man, we got to get the stove fixed first.” https://t.co/Ema2pRzaVE

Came for the scary (to me) clickbait headline, stayed for the pyramid scheme economics and commentary ie. DTC being defined as “all those sans-serif, venture capital-funded brands” 😬😬https://t.co/E8lE2QJe1b

Women leaders aren't doing a better job during covid b/c they're empathetic and caring - it's b/c the strongmen are doing worse by comparison (Obv Trump and Bolsonaro come to mind) https://t.co/pFtpE94nwc

Gabrielle Hamilton on why brunch is a necessary tragedy, and maybe a restaurant world 'reset' by way of Covid is sadly necessary. Glamorous it ain't. https://t.co/iMcPtof1R0
