Netflix’s ‘Bad Vegan’ Is Your Next True Crime Obsession | Eater

"Once a celebrity-packed raw-vegan destination in New York City, this restaurant and its chef were prominent proponents of a diet that avoided cooking above 120°F. In the early 2000s the chef was a high-profile figure, but by 2015 she disappeared amid accusations that she had stopped paying staff, vendors, and her landlord; employees unionized and walked out over unpaid wages. She was later charged with fraud and labor-law violations and became the subject of a documentary investigating how a celebrated restaurateur fell into scandal, entered a controlling relationship, and transferred large sums from her businesses to personal accounts." - Jaya Saxena
