"In my weekend review I wrote about Perry Lang’s, an eponymous Yountville steakhouse, which I called out in print. What I did not include — and later mentioned on Twitter — was the chef’s link to Jeffrey Epstein, and how the desires of the super-rich inevitably influence this particular take on luxury and clubbiness. That Epstein connection had been included in my first draft, but I removed it because we struggled to provide all of the context behind it in print without substantially growing the word count or butchering that sub-narrative." - Eve Batey
