Charlie Trotter got angry he wasn't named the meanest man in Chicago one year (Michael Jordan was #1). He ran an outstanding restaurant (three Michelin stars), but was a tyrant in the kitchen. Tons of cooks who worked in his kitchen vowed to open their own restaurants, but run them with a less firm hand. If he were alive today (he passed in 2013) I wonder if his chefs would unionize.
