The Brooklyn Magazine Restaurant Week barbecue report card
During Brooklyn's Restaurant Week, three BBQ joints were reviewed: Morgan's BBQ, Mable's Smokehouse, and Dinosaur BBQ. Morgan's was praised for its sides, especially cornbread and coleslaw, but its brisket was considered underseasoned. Mable's Smokehouse was deemed the most authentic, with a standout brisket and ribs, and won in most categories including best overall. Dinosaur BBQ was recognized for its excellent brisket and burnt tips but criticized for its sides. The review was conducted by a native Texan, Andy Hirschfeld, who provided a detailed assessment of each restaurant's offerings.

Is ‘shareholder supremacy’ driving the layoffs in tech?
The concept of shareholder supremacy, where companies prioritize shareholder interests, is driving layoffs in the tech industry. Uber, Meta, Tesla, and other companies have faced lawsuits from investors for failing to meet obligations. Layoffs are seen as a way to appease shareholders and boost stock prices, despite often being at odds with the interests of employees and product development. High-profile tech companies, including Salesforce and Amazon, have made significant job cuts while their executives' salaries are largely tied to stock prices. The tech sector has seen 34 percent of all layoffs in 2023, with about 114,000 people losing their jobs.
