When is “now”?
The first time it was made public? The second? Or only when it finally became a PR nightmare?
2010 documentary where the behavior is captured on video, 2016 written admission of behavior by a person themselves, 2022 interview deeming them reformed / cured – 2026 is not the “now” for this “revelation”.
Lay people may claim ignorance to the past, but those following these people, their restaurants, their accolades, their food… cannot.
Do you think Will Guidara’s 2016 essay “In Defense of Fine Dining”, published in David Chang’s Lucky Peach Magazine, has been scrubbed completely from the internet by coincidence?
