11. Her (black!) business partner must have the patience of a saint...
Gatti shares ownership of the restaurant with her black business partner and chef, Avery Watson.

(...)

Del Aguila said that when she or others complained to Gatti's business partner, Watson, he would just shrug his shoulders and say that's the way she is.

"I've known her for 30-something years," Watson said. "Her Italian upbringing causes her to flip."

(...)

Watson, Gatti's black co-owner, was working the lunch shift in the restaurant kitchen this afternoon. He took a long view of the turmoil that a black presidential candidate has caused in his Palm Beach restaurant.

"I'm sure there will be a lot of craziness like this until everything smooths over," Watson said. "It's just one of those things that's going to happen."



Uh-oh -- sounds like Watson is one of those angry black men the freepers warned us about.


:sarcasm:
