Normandy Farm Owner Exposes Himself at Event Celebrating Female Artisans | Eater Carolinas

"Co-owned by Mike Ray, who has long been the public face of the businesses, this bakery has been thrust into controversy after Ray exposed himself at a private event celebrating female artisans. He has called it a “horrible lapse in judgement,” issued private and public apologies, and described the act as an attempted bit of irreverent humor that made people uncomfortable. While some colleagues in the food and beverage community have offered support, others—most prominently James Beard–nominated chef Cynthia Wong—have publicly urged a boycott of his products (including pastries and bread supplied to restaurants), arguing that continuing to spend money at his businesses enables unacceptable behavior and harms staff and patrons." - Erin Perkins
