Wow the armchair psychiatric diagnosis of someone you’ve barely brushed shoulders with is bananas. The haters are real, judging by this thread and your comment. I guess in that sense she is the underdog.

You should take your own advice. Stop being angry over someone else’s success or judging if it’s deserved or not. Go make your own success!

Huh?

Or are YOU the bagel queen?!

Looks like a salted chocolate cookie, YUM

Dying to try it now!! Signal boost though, kudos to her, well-deserved and Native American cuisine should definitely be highlighted

Actually just some info for you and other folks who can't be bothered to google how the JBF nominations are cooked up: a whole panel of chefs (including former JBF nominees and winners), food writers & critics and other important figures in the food & hospitality scene get to nominate and cast votes. So yes, other chefs must have thrown her name in the ring. Is it a wildcard choice? Absolutely. But at the end of the day, a JBF nomination is worth gold to anyone who earns one. And what are you doing with your career, other than being super salty on the internet?

Such sensitive emotions! I wonder who has thinner skin, the evil bagel queen or the mail-person without uniform?

Sounds horrible. I'm sure a lot of people go in there asking to speak with the owner without identifying themselves or their motive and that can be irritating while somebody is trying to work. I'm so happy you've been able to recover from it though! Or is it still bothering you? :-(

It’s really sad that folks here feel the need to knock people down to make themselves feel better. Is this sub all industry burnouts? All 3 restaurants are going to be jammed from now on with all this incredible publicity.

And for the Rebelle owner in particular, you’re just doing her publicity for free. If she’s a terrible person or an angel, that’s subjective and varies by person and situation. That’s the case with everyone. Thanks to you all the whole city knows Rebelle has reopened!

You can’t buy this type of recognition, are you familiar with the JBF at all? So salty!

Please do go into detail!

I saw a car on the East Side deliberately run over a homeless man and then drive off. I circled back to find the victim while I was on the phone with 911 and the offending driver had fled the scene. The cop who came to “investigate” literally said “nothing to see here”.

So yeah I would say the people here don’t care. But they sure do like to look like they care.

Market Basket in N Attleboro has it in their international aisle

Here’s what I found to be a really good read from folks who lived there: https://www.stagesoffreedom.org/lippitt-hill-project

I was wondering a few days ago when the Whole Foods in the plaza was opened and then just fell down the rabbit hole. Gentrification in this neighborhood has been a point of tension for longer than a lot of us have been alive.
