'What was committed verbally or in writing?' 'Well, unfortunately not much we can do,' Julie Secviar, head of HR for the Thomas Keller Restaurant Group, replied in an email, cited in court filings. 'Apparently she is pregnant,' Minnillo wrote in a March 1, 2016, email to the company's head of human resources, cited in court filings. In the interim, she learned she was pregnant and informed her bosses, who discussed it on company email. Scott-Allen returned to New York and hammered out details of moving to the California restaurant, eventually filling out the company's internal transfer form in February 2016 and agreeing to start her new position that April, the lawsuit says.

A Thomas Keller Restaurant Group spokesman, Pierre Rougier, said the company cannot comment on pending litigation. Keller was named as an individual defendant because he owns and controls the two restaurants. In the case of Scott-Allen, 'they found out she was pregnant and figured out a way to backpedal on' a job transfer, she said. She said the case will highlight antiquated traditions in the fine dining world where men are favored for high-paying 'front of the house' jobs and seen as more suitable to interact with high-paying guests.

'This is one of the last bastions where it is OK for women to be discriminated against,' Minnard said ahead of the trial in Napa County Superior Court. Vanessa Scott-Allen is seeking $5 million in damages for allegations that include sex discrimination and violation of pregnancy disability leave and says she hopes her trial, which started Monday, will draw attention to a 'culture of misogyny in fine dining,' said her attorney, Carla Minnard.

With all the widespread and well-earned prestige of the restaurant, it’s not difficult to find countless multiple-syllable reviews from professional critics.

Lyla is the youngest person to eat a full tasting menu at the French Laundry. Looks like I’m going to have to eat my words (or have Isla take photos while a four-year-old eats them), because here we are, already, and these things are WAY TOO CUTE to stop now.įor our fifth installment, extreme fanciness edition, we took Lyla Hogan (favorite food: “good ice cream in a hard cone”) to what Anthony Bourdain has called “the best restaurant in the world, period.” (It won that title officially in 20 and is still the #1 restaurant in California and #3 in the country). Back since our second restaurant, whenever anyone has asked how I plan to end the series, I’ve always said that if we were ever able to get a four-year-old to review the French Laundry, that would be it.

Reviewing notable restaurants via the simple yet extremely judgmental palate of a four-year-old has kind of become a “thing” here at the Bold Italic.
