Brenner Report #3: Creating virtual food halls, rooting out toxic culture, empowering muckraking journalism and other stabs at solutions to F&B's great problems
Love this newsletter! The history of fusion, the way food travels and is transformed by various cultures, is fascinating and fun. I wish St Pete had a sando shop--we're lucky we've got a French restaurant, and a pretty good one. And plenty of places to dine outside--but a sando sounds great right about now.
Great food reporting and thoughtful writing. Kate Telfyan comments are spot on. Decisively, she concludes: “In its consistent, uncritical celebration of chefs and owners later revealed to be bad bosses, and in its refusal to reckon with its own role in facilitating their rise to the top, the food media has failed us.”
