She said the menu was marketed as “chef-driven,” featuring “original artisan food.”
She also told BuzzFeed that they didn’t bring up their surprising discovery to any of the staff.

The biggest lesson Elle has learned from this whole ordeal is that presentation is everything.
Ill just ensure to add more salt to his TJs cacio e pepe next time," she joked.
