Didn't notice this at first but what an amazing move by Matheson to protect Benson there. You can criticize his play but he's always a class act.

A night with friends ahead of @foodallergyfund summit We had dinner at @NobuRestaurants For most people, that’s just a great night out. For my dear friend @AllergicLiving editor, Gwen Smith, it’s something much bigger. She is allergic to shellfish, peanuts, and soy, which has historically made Japanese cuisine nearly impossible to navigate safely. A few years ago, during a previous Food Allergy Fund conference, we took a chance on Nobu. What happened next is something I wish every restaurant understood. They didn’t focus on what she couldn’t eat. They focused on what they could safely prepare. They were thoughtful about cross-contact. They were confident, kind, and collaborative. And the food was extraordinary. That experience stayed with us. Because when a restaurant gets it right for someone with food allergies, it’s not just a meal, it’s trust. And trust drives behavior. We come back. We bring our families. We celebrate milestones there. We recommend it to others. In my own family, when there is something to celebrate, this is where we go. When we travel, we search out Nobu restaurants because we know this is a restaurant that takes my son's allergies seriously. There is a real business case here that often gets overlooked. People with food allergies and their families represent millions of customers making careful, intentional dining decisions every day. When they are treated with care and respect, they don’t just dine, they become loyal, repeat customers. This is an opportunity. We need to shift the narrative from “burden” to “business value.” From “what we can’t do” to “how we can serve safely and well.” Because inclusive hospitality is not just the right thing to do, it is also good business. And that is true both on the ground and in the air. Food for thought this wednesday night.
