I was just coming here to tell you how wonderful the sweet potato gnocchi recipe was (everyone who tried it, LOVED it!) and realized that I hadn't read the whole post... I had just skipped down to the recipe and missed that horrible story. I'm so sorry for what happened to you - I was looking for a job this past summer and, while in no way comparable to your experience, was certainly put through the ringer by potential employers. Keep your chin up and please try not to let that d-bag get to you. All the best.

Please don't even consider working for free for this man. You'd be better off making bread at home and selling in on the street (I live in the EV and will buy some.) Good luck.

Hearing your story touched a nerve for me. We should not have to deal with that sort of thing and people should not get away with that. Karma is good as well, I am a big believer in that.

All this is simply preparing for the right opportunity. You'll look back on this crummy time one day and realize that you would never have gotten there without going through here (though I won't lie, there's no way to sugar coat the creepy dude story. GOOD FOR YOU! for taking action against the jerk). Don’t let the multiple interviews throw you for a loop. All this is simply preparing for the right opportunity.

Happily, I've arranged a trial day at the smaller bakery on my list - one that I happen to know you visit from time to time... no names here of course! (wink wink) Duo - Appreciate the support, and I'm a firm believer in Karma. Jo - Always up for toasting anything at all with you. Let's get a date on the calendar! Claire - I was sad that I didn't get to meet you last weekend. One of my favorite things about the blog is that it has put me in touch with people who I haven't seen in years - like Dan, and I've met some really amazing new people through it as well. Really hope we will finally get to meet next time you guys are in town! Jill – A sad reality and major pain in the butt for sure, but I’ve gotten some closure and I need to move on.

Small world! First, sorry we missed you last weekend when we were in NYC! We totally understand the stresses of wedding planning - just went through it ourselves, actually. Second, I just wanted to say that your recipes and your blog are fantastic. The food industry is, indeed, a rough field, but that stupid bakery owner was out of line. I suspect he'll be slapped with a sexual harassment suit at some point, and when that happens, you can do a happy dance in the streets. :) Keep up the good work! Hi Lauren,

You deserve the best and he is scum. Period.

Good thing you're taking action on it, and hopefully he will find out what happens when someone stands up for themselves. That’s a really terrible thing to happen to anyone.

That's just ridiculous. There are so many people in NYC that take advantage of people at every opportunity they can -- ESPECIALLY in the food service industry. (At least from all the horror stories I've heard.) What a major pain in the butt. You, my dear, do NOT deserve that kind of treatment. All my best and ice cream sundaes to you. :) Lauren –
