More than 130 purveyors were approached by or tried to land a spot with food-service operator Levy, making Franny’s and Bklyn Larder owner Francine Stephens something of a conscientious objector. “We’re not able to mass-produce the food that we do,” the restaurateur told the Times last week, “and we’re not at a place in our lives that we’re willing to compromise.” [Bklyn Larder, Earlier]
