Matthew Kenney’s Vegan Restaurant Empire Shows Signs of Rot | Eater LA
"I recall that Pure Food and Wine, where Kenney gained renown for raw vegan cooking alongside partner Sarma Melnagailis, became the subject of wider scrutiny and was featured in the 2022 Netflix documentary Bad Vegan: Fraud. Fame. Fugitives.; its backer Jeffrey Chodorow described Kenney as “a very talented chef with a bad financial history,” a characterization that the new reporting revisits in the context of alleged financial and workplace misconduct." - Matthew Kang
