TL;DR Summary
Barbara Lynch, a renowned Boston chef and restaurateur, has been accused of workplace abuse by former employees who claim that her alcohol abuse and verbal and physical aggressions have been an open secret in the hospitality industry for decades. Lynch denies the allegations, but more than 20 former employees have come forward with stories of her impulsive firings, unwanted propositions, and touching. Lynch's success has seemed boundless, but her behavior has become more erratic in recent years, and the sharp elbows and raw language that she once cultivated to succeed in a male-dominated field are no longer tolerated in many restaurants.
