I suspect, though, he is maybe trying to fool people into backing off. Consider his final comment to stop making this personal. Ain't happening. Wilkinson, her partner cook, and employees, and later her supporting landlord all made it personal. It is very personal. She went even further to challenge a neighboring restaurant to also not serve the family. That makes it even more personal and vindictive.
Wilkinson and all of them can now deal with the consequences of their actions. I wrote dozens of email to fellow business partners at Lexington Main Street (posted those email addresses here on FR), I also wrote her advertised suppliers (which another FR person kindly found). Got a few emails back. She got fired from Lexington Main Street, several suppliers disavowed her, she closed for a week or so. Great if it is or has turned out to be longer.
Does anyone have independent verification that she has since remained open or closed again? If open, would love that we remind her we have't forgotten so quickly.
I wonder when the health department went through there last ... H’mm ... I wonder if the staff is up to date on food safety training.
