"I note that Gentile came to Los Angeles after decades in Toronto and was chef‑partner at Buca Osteria & Bar in Yorkville when it was ranked the number two restaurant in Canada in 2016; his time with the broader King Street Food Company, however, ended amid a Toronto Life investigation alleging unpaid vendors, questionable kitchen culture, and financial mismanagement—allegations Gentile says framed him as a scapegoat, that he fought to get people paid, and that he has worked on becoming a better leader." - Matthew Kang
