Lauren Collins wrote a great piece for the New Yorker on April Bloomfield and the restaurant she’s a chef at, the Spotted Pig:

Bloomfield bought a computer and opened an e-mail account, and while construction work was going on the partners e-mailed each other about what kind of food they were going to serve. “I wrote, ‘Some of my investors and friends are vegans, and I was thinking, like, a tofu hot dog,’ ” Friedman recalled. “She wrote back, ‘If you’re thinking tofu hot dog, maybe I’m not the girl for you. In fact, I’m not interested in tofu at all.’ ” From then on, Friedman butted out of the food.
