Inside Barbara Lynch's Collective
Who is Barbara Lynch?
James Beard Award–winner and Relais & Châteaux Grand Chef Barbara Lynch is regarded as one of the world’s leading chefs and restaurateurs, yet accusations against Lynch include threatening to shove a chef’s head through a window, impulsively firing staff, cooking and showing up to the restaurants drunk, and subjecting certain staff members to physical harassment. According to the Times, 20 of Lynch’s former employees and a dozen industry veterans contributed to the story, saying that “her actions, while shocking, were not surprising.”
