"As a hospitality group whose restaurants (including Ava Gene’s, Tusk, Cicoria, and the now-closed Woodsman Tavern) were bought by Sortis, Submarine faced accusations about workplace misconduct and attempted to respond by working with Apron Equity and bolstering HR; after the Sortis acquisition, operations staff like Brookes Decker say they are working to maintain each brand’s identity, keep teams intact, and make benefits more uniform while also increasing upper-management presence in restaurants." - Alice Wolfe
"Pastry chef Tara Lewis, associated with Submarine Hospitality, was named a StarChefs Rising Star for her pastry work." - Janey Wong
"Following social-media posts alleging that Joshua McFadden screamed at employees and that some managers worked while visibly intoxicated, co-founder Luke Dirks has stepped away from Submarine Hospitality, the restaurant group that includes Ava Gene’s and Tusk; McFadden will remain in charge. McFadden announced that both Dirks and Tusk chef Sam Smith would leave the company, and Dirks confirmed his expedited departure, saying he had the pleasure of working with talented, hardworking, warmhearted people and chose to step aside to allow McFadden to chart the group’s future; Dirks also told the Oregonian that plans to leave began in April but recent events accelerated the timeline." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
"Submarine Hospitality is starting brunch takeout this weekend on Saturdays and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., with options like chia seed pudding, bacon-ricotta quiche, and sesame chocolate coffee cake, plus groceries like eggs and sourdough for at-home brunch-making." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
