>Are my experiences unique?

For Providence? I think so. In fact, I'd say there's a fuckton of underenforcement vs overenforcement

‘Charles’ neighborhood

Ok , yea I’m pretty sure there’s a few threads on this sub describing the nature of this woman , and it is not good. Idc how good the food is. If you treat staff and customers like shit , get fucked

Birch was one of my top meal experiences. It's amazing what this little city manages to offer!

north was the best all around restaurant in the city. Best overall was Birch but due to the price it was more of a special occasion place. Both closed during the pandemic and I’m still very very sad.

This is one of those "Separate the art from the artist" things. He is an incredibly talented chef by all measures.

I've heard from a few folks I know who work in the service industry that she's not a very pleasant person to be employed by. But I don't know the lady so I can't say first hand.

Horrifying. Also disease vectors so cleanup is always a hassle.

May I ask what neighborhood this was in? Oof.

Hope you're in a better spot these days.

Wherever you go, avoid Codac at all costs.

My son told me the food there tastes like poopoo.

Isn’t this person a giant piece of shit ? Or am I thinking of another local business owner

That was a terrible location for Dune Bros. Enjoying a lobster roll on the patio along that stretch of N Main? Hard pass.

Because the nomination was for specifically her and not anyone else? And I guess that is who most people have a problem with.

Shouldn't the post title say something more like "Local Chefs from Little Sister & Pizza Marvin named 2023 James Beard Award Semifinalists"?

Why are people so obsessed with the owner of Rebelle on this sub?

Loved Sarto when we went (a few years ago) and absolutely love Pizza Marvin. Any elaboration on the statement about Sarto?

Yeah say what you will, but the food is good at Little Sister and the bagels are the best bagels in town at Rebelle.

I used to go there a lot but it just gets too expensive especially when the buffet has a ton of things you like! (Heavy)

idk, for as much shit as i've read about her or her places, the closest i've seen to a complaint about the actual food was a small child making a weird face at an unusual smell.

You’ve got a lot to learn about this town sweetie.

Little sister is really good....

Wish my man from big king and north would come back though!

Didn’t he open the restaurant Sarto? How did he run it into the ground if it’s still there and he’s not? Pizza Marvin is great. Seems hard to imagine a pretentious chef open a pizza parlor lol

Must have nominated herself because there’s no way

Where is little city? Asking for a friend

Worked with Andreozzi while he was running Sarto into the ground and I cannot describe with words how pretentious he was. Perhaps he's been humbled over the last 6 years but I'll never find out.
