Profiles

San Francisco magazine has released a pretty intense profile of Daniel Patterson, in which the Coi chef and force behind the new Alta CA admits to being "a totally OCD control freak," and in which former employees describe his restaurants as "a dysfunctional culture of fear and overwork."

Go give it a read. [SF Mag]
