Chef Art Smith Enters Chick-fil-A Fray
“As a gay southern man who found health and married Jesus, why would I eat at a place that serves poison and preaches it?“
Chef Art Smith, owner of D.C.’s Art & Soul restaurant, tells NYMag.com’s Grub Street that he’s no fan of Chick-fil-A restaurants. The fast-food chain’s president, Dan Cathy, recently implied that marriage equality would prompt divine wrath. Smith’s husband, whom he married in D.C. in 2010, is Jesus Salgueiro.
