And then, in a quieter voice, he started to explain why it wasn\u2019t just two weeks. He asked me not to reveal the details of that story, but I can say that there were personal problems, the type of serious things that can happen with any family, and would\u2019ve happened regardless of how crowded Stanich\u2019s was, and that real life is always more complicated and messier than we want it to be. Stanich explained that, as these issues were going on in the background, it was hard to read the social media screeds attacking them, and listen to the answering machine messages at the restaurant calling him a fat fuck and telling him to fuck himself for closing his own restaurant. He didn\u2019t care about them, he insisted. He only cared about people like that woman who\u2019d shown up, the regulars who live in NE Portland. \u201cI need to take care of the people who took care of me,\u201d he said. \u201cThey don\u2019t turn on you.\u201d<\/p>\n

This was the same sentiment the chef at Paiche had expressed, and that I\u2019d heard from others. If there was one main negative takeaway from the raging fires of food tourist culture and the lists fanning the flames, it was that the people crowding the restaurant were one time customers. They were there to check off a thing on a list, and put it on Instagram. They weren\u2019t invested in the restaurant\u2019s success, but instead in having a public facing opinion of a well known place. In other words, they had nothing to lose except money and the restaurant had nothing to gain except money, and that made the entire situation feel both precarious and a little gross.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
