Corrections: March 26, 2025
A Times Insider article on Monday about a New York Times journalist's coverage of the U.S. auto industry misidentified the founders of Tesla. The company was co-founded by Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning, not Elon Musk. (Mr. Musk, the current chief executive of the company, was an early investor in Tesla.)
An article on March 18 about exemptions from military service in Israel misstated the extent of military exemptions for ultra-Orthodox men. From 1948 to 1977, annual exemptions were capped, meaning some, not all, ultra-Orthodox men were exempt from mandatory military service.
An article on Tuesday about a vote that could secure child care vouchers for low-income families in New York City misstated the surname of the chief policy and innovation officer of the Day Care Council of New York. He is Gregory Brender, not Bender.
An article on Saturday about the artwork of the novelist Flannery O'Connor, based on information from Georgia College & State University, misstated Louise Florencourt's age when she died. She was 97, not 99.
An article on Saturday about the Japanese musician and visual artist Hiroshi Yoshimura misstated which album Brian Eno made after an automobile accident. It was 'Discreet Music,' not 'Ambient 1: Music for Airports.'
An article on March 18 about the growth of an online DIY subculture focused on quitting psychiatric medications misidentified Dr. Mark Horowitz, the co-author of the Maudsley Deprescribing Guidelines. He is a psychiatric resident, not a psychiatrist.

Turns Out Meat Is Still the Ultimate Luxury
A few years ago, during the coronavirus pandemic, Daniel Humm had an epiphany. Human reliance on animal products was cooking the planet, and, as a chef, reducing his reliance on them could be part of a solution. When his New York City restaurant, Eleven Madison Park—which had once been named the world's best restaurant —reopened, it would be free of animal products, making it the first three-Michelin-star dining room to bear that distinction. Humm seemed reinvigorated by the change, and very, very eager to talk about it. 'From a creative place,' he told his friend Gabriela Hearst in Interview magazine at the time, 'the world does not need another dry-aged ribeye or butter-poached lobster.' He went on The Tonight Show and Morning Joe; he released an illustrated journal featuring observations such as 'our cooking should not conform to society,' as well as his own hand-drawn portraits of lentils, broccoli, and a popsicle, rendered in a rustic, neo-Expressionist-by-way-of-nursery-school style. He talked about going plant-based as both an ethical and an artistic imperative. 'It became very clear to me that our idea of what luxury is had to change,' Humm said at the time. 'We couldn't go back to doing what we did before.' He would make a small but decisive correction to a food system that was 'simply not sustainable.' Four years later, vegan luxury dining is apparently the thing that wasn't sustainable. Yesterday, Humm announced that, after creating 'a new culinary language,' building 'something meaningful,' and igniting 'a debate that transcended food,' he will go back to speaking his previous culinary language. Eleven Madison Park will continue to offer a plant-based menu, but will also serve 'select animal products for certain dishes.' These select animal products, he said, will include 'fish' and 'meat.' And 'honey-lavender-glazed duck.' And oysters, and lobster. Also, chicken, maybe. In an interview with The New York Times, Humm said he was moved to return animals to the menu for reasons of inclusion. 'I very much believed in the all-in approach, but I didn't realize that we would exclude people,' he said. 'I have some anxiety that people are going to say, 'Oh, he's a hypocrite,' but I know that the best way to continue to champion plant-based cooking is to let everyone participate around the table.' Elsewhere in the piece, he was somewhat more direct: Diners had become less interested in what Humm was offering. Sales of wine—which tends to come with a heavy markup and is thus a highly important part of many restaurants' business—were down, because people seemed to be less inclined to uncork a $1,500 bottle of Côte-Rôtie when a big bloody steak wasn't also involved. Bookings for EMP's private events were also flagging, Humm said: 'It's hard to get 30 people for a corporate dinner to come to a plant-based restaurant.' Well, yeah. The thing is, people really, really like meat. All the time, but especially when they're paying up to $365 a head for dinner before tax, tip, and beverages. Between 2014 and 2024, annual per capita meat consumption rose—even as various publications heralded the end of beef, even as the consequences of climate change became even more unignorable, even before the secretary of health started telling people to eat tallow. Sales of plant-based meat have been declining since 2021, according to the Good Food Institute, a nonprofit devoted to alternative proteins. In June, the CEO of Impossible Foods, which sells high-tech meat substitutes, told The Wall Street Journal that his company was considering taking an approach similar to Humm's, developing a half-beef burger. Though plenty of animal-free restaurants seem to be doing perfectly well, in fine dining they may be the exception rather than the rule. Of the United States' 263 Michelin-starred restaurants, just four are exclusively vegetarian or vegan. Americans just cannot seem to quit meat, no matter how good the alternative tastes. But then again, part of Humm's problem might have been that his alternative didn't taste very good. When Pete Wells, then the New York Times ' restaurant critic, went to EMP in 2021, he found food that he described as 'acrid' and 'distorted,' including an extraordinarily fussy-sounding beet dish that 'tastes like Lemon Pledge and smells like a burning joint.' The people who are willing to shell out hundreds of dollars for food tend to pay attention to reviews, and they tend to want to feel like they're getting what they've paid for. What happens in fine-dining restaurants does, eventually, trickle down to the rest of the food industry, but the problem with appointing yourself as an agent for the revolution is that then you really need people to buy what you are selling. And you can only be one of the world's most influential restaurants if you are making enough money to stay open. The idea of a place such as Eleven Madison Park being on the vanguard of social change was funny even before it was revealed to be temporary. A nice meal is fundamentally a luxury good—one where no expense is spared, customers are always comfortable, the linens get washed every day, and the appeal is a sense of perfection. It is the opposite of sacrifice, which is what responding to climate change will require from all of us. Humm is right, of course—meat really is unsustainable. So is hubris.

Time to Break Down Lana Del Rey and Ethel Cain's Drama
In today's edition of 'two artists on my Spotify Wrapped are actually beefing IRL,' it looks like there's some tension between alt-pop's finest, Lana Del Rey and Ethel Cain. While Ethel has been compared to LDR ever since she started posting covers and demos online in 2017, the pair recently got into a tiff online, thanks to Lana soft-launching a new song. It all began on August 13, when Lana posted a video of herself in a car listening to a track where she name-drops Ethel in the first few lyrics. When fans responded with (understandable) confusion, the 'Born to Die' singer then alleged that Ethel had previously body-shamed her—hence the diss track. If you're one of those said confused fans wondering how we even got here in the first place, allow me to break down Lana Del Rey and Ethel Cain's drama (for educational purposes, obvi). Ethel—whose real name is Hayden Silas Anhedönia—has been chronically online for a greater part of the last decade. According to a social media post, she listed Lana as one of her favorite artists on her DeviantArt profile in 2015. She also started posting her music online in 2017, including a cover of Lana's hit, 'Born to Die.' Ethel started gaining an audience for her music, which she released under several different monikers until she officially became Ethel Cain in 2019. Lana comparisons came from critics and fans alike, and Ethel eventually started posting about her frustration with it. In a since-deleted 2022 tweet (per i-D), she clapped back at a review that likened her to the 'Ride' singer, writing, 'I love Lana and I love her music but there's a hundred other things at play here. If that's an entry way for a review, that's fine. But sometimes people arrive at Lana Del Rey and stop at Lana Del Rey.' She also defended her and Lana's artistic differences, adding, 'And yeah I called it lazy writing because it's lazy for me and her. I think it's kind of a detriment to the expansive work of two female artists to just reduce them to being similar to each other.' Okay, so here's where things get a little tricky. In 2022, Lana started dating musician Jack Donoghue of the hip-hop duo Salem, and she hard-launched their relationship with a photo outside of Cook County Jail, which has since been deleted. Meanwhile, Ethel once had a close friendship with Jack, and she was even rumored to be dating him after his relationship with LDR. She reportedly posted a similar photo to Lana's and poked fun at it with the caption 'ok wait my turn.' Of course, it has also been deleted. In May 2022, Ethel was profiled by The New York Times, where she's referred to as 'the most famous girl at the Waffle House' in the headline. Lana then made headlines in July 2023 after word got around that she was moonlighting as a waitress at the breakfast establishment in Alabama. Iiiiinteresting connection here. Or, at least, what seems to be an Ethel diss track. On August 13, Lana posted a clip of herself listening to one of her unreleased songs in a car, which happened to name-drop Ethel in its lyrics. She sings, 'Ethel Cain hated my Instagram post / Think it's cute reenacting my Chicago pose,' which might allude to both of their pics with Jack Donoghue. In another lyric, she directly references Ethel's New York Times headline as she sings, 'The most famous girl at the Waffle House / I don't regret it.' Lana also alleged that she was body-shamed by Ethel in a comment under Pop Base's post reporting on her unreleased snippet. 'When I heard what she was saying behind closed doors from mutual friends and started inserting herself into my personal life I was definitely disturbed,' she wrote, in part. Shortly after, Ethel revealed that she had been blocked by Lana in a post on her Instagram Stories. 'Update: lana del rey has blocked ethel cain on instagram,' she wrote. While LDR's song may be pointed at Ethel, fans theorized it could also be counted as shade toward her 'Snow on the Beach' collaborator, Taylor Swift. 'Track 13 @jackantonoff,' Lana captioned the post, hinting that the song would be on her upcoming album, The Right Person Will Stay. Of course, 13 famously happens to be Taylor's favorite number. Both artists have worked with Jack Antonoff extensively throughout their careers, and the Grammy-winning producer is noticeably absent from Taylor's The Life of a Showgirl album credits, since she teamed up with Max Martin and Shellback on the project. It's unclear whether she, Jack, and Lana had a falling out or if Lana is remaining loyal to her longtime producer, but the timing of LDR's post considering Taylor's album announcement on the New Heights podcast took place mere hours earlier. TL;DR: Some of this evidence is compelling, but most of it feels like a reach.

The Michelin Guide Is Returning to Texas
The Michelin Guide is coming back to Texas. On October 28, it will announce its 2025 selections during a ceremony at the Wortham Center for the Performing Arts in Houston. The prestigious restaurant ratings will again cover five cities: Austin, San Antonio, Dallas, Fort Worth, and Houston. It's only the second year that Michelin has rated Texas restaurants, but last year's debut made a statement. Texas landed 15 one star restaurants, 44 Bib Gourmands (good food at a good price), 56 restaurants were recommended destinations, and two received Green Stars — recognition of a restaurant's sustainable practices. Unsurprisingly, barbecue got a heap of attention. Four Texas restaurants serving the cuisine received stars, the first time Michelin has awarded stars to barbecue in North or South America. Previous winners were Singapore's Australian-style barbecue restaurant Burnt Ends and Japanese wagyu barbecue restaurant Oretachi No Nikuya in Taiwan. The four Texas barbecue spots to join the ranks were Austin's Interstellar BBQ, La Barbecue, LeRoy and Lewis Barbecue, along with CorkScrew BBQ in Spring. This year's ceremony will be watched closely, not just to see which restaurants retain their stars or get awarded their firsts, but to see if a restaurant can get two or even three stars awarded.
