D.C. Chef Matt Baker Under Fire for Retweeting Texts Supporting the Firing Federal Workers and Deporting Immigrants | Eater DC
"The all-day cafe that anchors the lobby of a downtown hotel has been drawn into the backlash over its chef's reposted content; the hotel—where this cafe and the chef's French-influenced restaurant have been located since 2021—issued a statement saying the owners are "deeply disappointed" by the circulated content. The controversy has prompted social-media calls for boycotts, supplier pullbacks (including @clarkandhopkins' comment that it "will NOT be engaging [Baker’s] places ever again"), and public criticism such as @lemonlimefluenced's, "as a fired fed, no way will I support any of these restaurants." - Tierney Plumb
