If you follow restaurants in New York at all, you’ve seen or heard Maimon Kirschenbaum’s name. It’s synonymous with — some would say infamous for — a steady stream of wage-violation lawsuits brought against star chefs such as Mario Batali, Daniel Boulud, and Keith McNally (he’s won settlements from all three), and he’s targeted restaurants like Nobu, Philippe, and Le Bernardin. Depending on your point of view, he’s either a modern-day Robin Hood, fighting for workers’ rights in a business full of corruption, or an ambulance-chasing bully determined to put the city’s restaurants out of business.

Antagonizing Our Evil Inclination, The “Misoninim” Syndrome
If someone were to tell you that tens of thousands of grown adults had taken to the streets, weeping bitterly over their sad state of “Beef deprivation,” you would likely treat it like a joke. You might check your (spiffy electronic) calendar to make sure it’s not April 1st.

We were in the midst of construction, and the plumber was running new pipes through my closet up to the attic.
