Good morning everyone. I saw my friend’s movie Spermworld last night and it was excellent. You’ll be able to watch it in two weeks on Hulu. Other news in my world includes finishing up a Feed Me Country Playlist, and trying to sleep enough.

Major Food Group is now a $500M+/year business. You may think spending $34 on rigatoni and $24 on a Negroni is ridiculous, but Carbone is still charging, and people (a lot of them) are paying the check. Jeff Zalaznick wants to build the LVMH of hospitality. Since opening the first Carbone in New York in 2013, Zalaznick and his partners, chefs Mario Carbone and Rich Torrisi, have defied odds – they’ve transformed their pricey take on mid-century Italian-American cuisine into a global operation. And even more impressive to me, is that they’ve maintained a reputation of exclusive, high-quality, and “cool” for this long, and across so many state lines. Plenty of hotels do this well, but it’s harder to scale restaurant groups like this and not enter… Vegasificiation.
Yearly abortions in the U.S. rose by 10% between 2020 and 2023, exceeding 1mm last year. About 63% were done with medication. More than a dozen states have largely banned abortion, and the Supreme Court will soon weigh new restrictions on the abortion pill mifepristone. Hey Jane, an on-demand abortion pill service, raised $6mm back in 2022 and as of this month they’ve had over 50,000 patients.
Brooklyn’s new Montague Diner serves a bottle of champagne and fries for $99. Long Island Bar does something similar, with an optional bottle add-on with their burger.
