Eggslut Switched Up Its Controversial Window Coverings
Eggslut is trying to make things right, according to Taylor Tang, the Eggslut licensee partner in Seattle. Tang wrote an email thanking Eater Seattle for 'flagging the concerns' with the window coverings. 'With the landlord's approval, we went ahead and at our own cost redesigned, printed, and installed new window panels coverings. Instead of promoting Eggslut, we chose to highlight the other amazing tenants in the market and added signs to let people know the market is still open during construction.'
Is it a perfect solution? Not quite — the Eater Award-winning lunch and dinner counter Cafe Suliman was left off the list of businesses on the window coverings. But we assure you, they are open.
Dumpling mega-chain Din Tai Fung has agreed to pay more than $560,000 to over 1,200 employees who had worked at the restaurant's two Seattle locations and its commissary kitchen from 2020 to 2023, reports the Seattle Times . This follows a Seattle Office of Labor Standards investigation into whether Din Tai Fung 'interfered with workers' use of paid sick time and allegations that the restaurant failed to provide employees with meals and rest breaks,' according to the paper.
In a blow to the Capitol Hill grocery landscape, the Whole Foods on Broadway closed last week. Capitol Hill Seattle Blog has more on the closure: The massive apartment building that contained the Whole Foods was changing owners, and the grocery store chain 'apparently decided to seize the opportunity to exit its lease.'
Earlier this month, Eater Seattle reported that Renee Erickson's celebrated steakhouse Bateau was temporarily closing in part because chef de cuisine Taylor Thornhill and general manager Jamie Irene were leaving, making it a good chance to 'reimagine' the restaurant. Well it turns out that Thornhill and Irene both left to take jobs at Sugar Shack, the restaurant group owned by do-it-all entrepreneur Marcus Lalario (Lil Woody's, Fat's Chicken and Waffles, Darkolino's, etc.). According to a press release, Irene will oversee several restaurants as director of operations, and Thornhill will take over the kitchen at the Georgetown Mexican restaurant Ciudad. See More:

Mexico to Propose Joint Steel Committee With US to Bolster Ties
(Bloomberg) -- Mexico will propose reinstating a North American steel committee to improve trade ties with the US and reduce reliance on Asian steel imports, according to a top trade official. Why New York City Has a Fleet of New EVs From a Dead Carmaker Chicago Schools Seeks $1 Billion of Short-Term Debt as Cash Gone A Photographer's Pipe Dream: Capturing New York's Vast Water System A London Apartment Tower With Echoes of Victorian Rail and Ancient Rome Trump Takes Second Swing at Cutting Housing Assistance for Immigrants As part of its negotiations with the US over steel tariffs, Mexico plans to float the idea of bringing back a committee comprising steel companies in both Mexico and the US, as well as government trade officials from both nations, said Luis Rosendo Gutiérrez Romano, Mexico's deputy economy minister for trade. While negotiations have focused on the bilateral relationship, the committee proposal envisions including Canada down the line. The committee would be similar to the former North American Steel Trade Committee under NAFTA, the trade agreement prior to the current USMCA between Mexico, the US and Canada. It would be tasked with building a stronger regional ecosystem including private sector actors rather than relying solely on government negotiations, said Gutiérrez. For example, the committee would consider measures aimed at increasing Mexico's purchase of US steel to replace Asian imports. The move would potentially enable Mexico to increase tariffs on imported Asian steel, said Gutiérrez, who's seen as Mexico's second-most important commerce negotiator. 'It's something that the United States views very favorably and we view very favorably, because we have to work hand in hand,' he said. 'We are looking at a series of trade practices to strengthen ourselves as a region, to protect ourselves as a region and to work together on a common policy that strengthens our industries.' To address US concerns, in addition to the joint committee proposal, Mexico has closed 1,062 so-called 'phantom' Asian steel mills, which are buildings that are registered as mills but don't contain any actual steel operations and function as cover for foreign imports. About 40% were linked to China, 10% to India and 6% to Iran. The government is also exploring domestic policies to increase local steel consumption, said Gutiérrez, such as having Mexico's construction industry commit to buying local steel to offset a potential 5% to 10% drop in exports to the US. The proposals come amid negotiations between Mexico and the US over its tariff policies, including crippling 50% tariffs on Mexican steel and aluminum. The measures have forced some steel producers to pause planned investments, such as the cancellation of a $600 million special steel mill proposed by Brazilian steelmaker Gerdau SA. Gerdau Drops Mexican Steel Mill Plan Amid Trump Tariff Turmoil Gutiérrez said that Mexico is prioritizing negotiating a deal to reduce tariffs for autos, steel and aluminum. Whether planned steel investment is withdrawn or even increased will depend entirely on the final terms of a possible steel agreement, he said. Investment 'could go elsewhere, but it could also double,' he said. 'This is an agenda that concerns us a lot, and we will not take our eye off the ball so that we can reduce the tariff.'

Mexico's 3rd Richest Person Holds 80% Of Their Wealth In Bitcoin, Now They Plan To Make That A 100%: Here Is The Reason Why
Benzinga and Yahoo Finance LLC may earn commission or revenue on some items through the links below. Mexican business magnate Ricardo Salinas Pliego has been a strong Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) advocate for years and recently considered allocating the entirety of his wealth to the top cryptocurrency. Salinas Wants To Go All In On BTC During an interview with Austrian economist Saifedean Ammous in May, Salinas, who has a net worth of over $5 billion, disclosed that he has no exposure to stocks other than a "very small proportion" of gold and Bitcoin miners. "I think that anybody who has an investment portfolio should be extremely careful because of the way that stocks are valued today. It's ridiculous," Mexico's third-richest individual said. Trending: The same firms that backed Uber, Venmo and eBay are investing in this pre-IPO company disrupting a $1.8T market — He said that 80% of his wealth is tied up in Bitcoin-related investments and the rest in gold. "I don't know why do I still have gold. Well I could probably move to 100% Bitcoin. Maybe I need a little bit more time being an old guy," Salinas History With 'Sound Money' Salinas revealed that the devaluation of the Mexican national currency Peso, during the 80s, due to what he regarded as 'mismanagement,' pushed him toward sound money. He said that he became a gold bug and "did really well" in the subsequent decades before adopting Bitcoin in 2013. Salinan previously said that he began investing in Bitcoin when it was around $200 and went through its highs and lows, ending in one of his most profitable moves when he sold his Bitcoin for roughly $17,000. "Bitcoin is now in the stage of being revalued to its actual usefulness for the world. The more people find it useful the more valuable it's going to be," he remarked.
