White Gold Butchers Is Losing Its Star Butchers | Eater NY

"An ambitious Upper West Side project that opened in October 2016 to combine whole-animal butchery with a neighborhood deli and a full-service restaurant, it earned two stars from The Times for memorable meat dishes. Erika Nakamura and Jocelyn Guest—partners who garnered attention and accolades for their nose-to-tail artistry since the shop's debut—are leaving on March 27; they declined to say why but described building the whole-animal butchery program as “among the most rewarding projects of our respective careers,” expressing love for the “dope staff and wonderful customers and neighbors.” Insiders say that although accusations against co-owner Ken Friedman were not the only reason for their departure, the women became increasingly uncomfortable with the stories that unfolded and with how the company handled the maelstrom; Friedman has stepped down from day-to-day management but retains ownership, and meat from the shop supplies other Friedman–Bloomfield projects like The Spotted Pig." - Beth Landman
