Why Gabrielle Hamilton Broke My Heart This Week

Unfortunately, Hamilton also made a choice. This gifted chef and talented writer chose to link her skills and reputation to a credibly accused predator, and time will tell whether she’ll be held accountable for that decision. Because while I would like to believe, as Hamilton seems to believe, that the food world operates in a genderless vacuum, that’s not the reality. Ignoring the abuse and the discrimination won’t make it go away, and the only chance we have of improving conditions comes from direct and unflinching action. Hamilton missed an opportunity here, and for her sake and the sake of all the women who work for her, I hope she realizes it.
