The Spotted Pig represented the highs and lows of New York City restaurant culture
that he was “open to doing whatever it takes to have the Spotted Pig live on” — including leaving entirely — admitting that his ongoing connection to the restaurant was keeping “foodies” away.
For those who lost jobs this weekend, the impact of the closure is something immediate and tangible. These workers — 78 full- and part-time employees, per Friedman — have lost their incomes and livelihoods because of Ken Friedman’s behavior. The serious allegations against him resulted in a split at the upper levels of the organization, a public relations nightmare, and a loss of interest from press and savvy diners.
The Spotted Pig proved to be a winning model for other restaurants trying to navigate the waters of post-recession dining in America. For years after the Spotted Pig’s ascent, it was hard to find a major American city without a restaurant that didn’t nod to its famous burger, or its unexpectedly adroit pasta menu , or its clubby-casual mood, or its clever combination of bar-like setting and comforting yet serious cooking.
