"At City Hall in Tribeca (a restaurant the piece notes closed in 2015 due to rising New York labor costs), I recount watching Larry and Jeff stare at meals sitting on the pass, then seeing Larry pick up dishes himself to deliver to the table — an act I call a violation of the invisible protocol and hygiene line that separates guests from the kitchen; Jeff praises him as a “hero,” but I argue the behavior could reasonably warrant a lifetime ban, and I note that a server ultimately snitches on Larry for his other misconduct and that he continues to help himself to food later in the episode." - Corey Mintz
