“I am hopefully anonymous. I can’t think that anything would surprise me. I think the internet has been a good skin thickener.” — Michael Bauer speaking to KQED prior to his Saturday, on-stage interview in which, from behind a screen, he answered questions lobbed at him from restaurateur Drew Nieporent. In the KQED interview he addressed the issue of whether he ever feels discriminated against as a gay man in restaurants, and generally speaking, he says no. As for the anonymity, Eater just published yet another blurry photo of him. [KQED]
