Partially as a response to NYC chef Amanda Cohen's Eater piece on "Chefs, PR, and 'Smoke and Mirrors' in the Restaurant World," LA chef Ari Taymor steps up to defend teen cook Flynn McGarry: "Several extremely successful chefs have used Flynn as a scapegoat to air their grievances against state of cooking, food media, and a host of other issues that have nothing to do with Flynn." From Cohen's piece: "My problem with this kid isn't his age...my problem is the fetishization of chefs." [Epicurious]
