I liked the piece. Didn’t see anything worthy of rage.

I haven’t read it yet, but recent NYT articles posted here about the follies of the upper class / 1% have ruffled a few feathers :woman_shrugging:t2:

ETA: Read it. Feeling nauseous and exhausted at the same time.

Working in the Hamptons appeals to Tejas Ke’alohi Jhaveri, who last summer was a live-in chef for a wealthy family who had just finished a $100 million dollar remodeling job, he said. The family put Mr. Jhaveri in charge of stocking the home’s four kitchens: a “show” kitchen, a chef’s kitchen, a kitchen in the staff quarters and an outdoor kitchen.

Four. Kitchens.
