"they claim they don’t “pay a PR agency to feed garbage publications [their] content,” but given the well-timed press in every other publication… I call bullshit. "
Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but that generally doesn't cover falsely claiming others are lying. We did not pay anyone and we did not reach out to any publication directly or indirectly. Grub Street found us two months after we opened, while the New Yorker and NYT did cover us on the same week but this was almost four months after we'd opened, and a mere coincidence. That your instinct is to believe all coverage is PR driven hype is exactly why our response to Eater was necessary.
