What’s the Deal With Executive Diner’s Contentious Menu? - Eater DC
"Executive Diner, located in Alexandria, Virginia, has been at the center of controversy after co-founder Jerry Pnevmatikatos dismissed opening chef Dadisi Olutosin following the first day of service. Olutosin, an experienced chef, asserts that he spent months crafting the menu for the diner, which features a wide range of dishes from breakfast items to more upscale options like pork tacos and lobster mac and cheese. Pnevmatikatos, however, claims Olutosin did not contribute to the final menu, which was a collaborative effort with general manager Adriano Tarantola. Despite Olutosin's departure, Pnevmatikatos intends to continue with the current kitchen staff and menu offerings." - Warren Rojas
