  • Archdiocesan History FINAL
    A History of the Archdiocese of Pittsburgh and Western Pennsylvania Kristie Bosko Mertz, Ph.D. “…the more I study the history of the Orthodox Church in this land, the more convinced I become that our task here is God’s task, that God Himself helps us.” 1 — St. Patriarch Tikhon, Farewell Address, March 7, 1907 Introduction The history of our archdiocese is inextricably bound to the larger history of Orthodoxy in America. What is now known as the Archdiocese of Pittsburgh and Western Pennsylvania began in 1916 with the tonsuring and consecration of Fr. Alexander Dzubay as Bishop Stephen, within the former North American Diocese of the Russian Orthodox Church. His situation, in terms of being an immigrant of Carpatho-Russian ethnicity and a convert to Orthodoxy from the Byzantine Catholic (Greek Catholic) faith, was in no way unique at that time. However, it provides us with a glimpse of the evolving religious landscape and the foundation that was laid for the creation of the archdiocese and for its subsequent development. The Beginning of Orthodoxy in America Orthodoxy in America began in 1794, when Russian missionaries from Valaam Monastery arrived at Kodiak Island in the Aleutian Islands.1 The beginning of Orthodoxy in this country was found mainly in the future state of Alaska (which was a part of Russia) and in California, but very quickly grew up in the industrial areas of the United States such as Minnesota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, New York, and West Virginia. The entirety of North America and Canada was one large diocese with very scattered Orthodox communities.

Graciela Roman (“Plaintiff”) is a former Dinex employee who worked as a busser at Bar Boulud. Ms. Roman, on behalf of herself and all others similarly situated, filed a lawsuit on August 10, 2012. The lawsuit claims that The Dinex Group, LLC and Daniel Boulud (collectively, “Defendants”) failed to pay captains, assistant captains, sommeliers, servers, bussers, runners, bartenders, baristas, and hosts, the proper minimum wage and overtime pay, as well as other wages required by law. The lawsuit seeks to recover money owed in back wages and additional damages known as “liquidated damages,” along with interest, attorneys’ fees, and costs.

  • Chef Talk: Jaryd Hearn of Polo Grill &
    Chef Talk: Jaryd Hearn of Polo Grill & Bar By Abby Weingarten, Correspondent Posted Aug 2, 2017 at 10:02 AM Updated Aug 2, 2017 at 10:02 AM Interview plus recipe Jaryd Hearn returned to the Polo Grill & Bar in March to become the executive chef after working for two years at Alinea, a world- renowned, three-star Michelin restaurant in Chicago. Since coming back to Lakewood Ranch, Hearn has collaborated with chef/proprietor Tommy Klauber to bring a rustic, modern, locally-focused, seasonal approach to the menu. Q: What have been some of the highlights of your career? A: I began my restaurant career in 2008 at the age of 15. My first job was at the Grove House Grill as a busser and food runner before moving to a line cook position. During my time there, I met a chef who offered me an opportunity to work in New York. At 18, I moved to Bolton Landing. I spent a season at Lakeside Restaurant, working as a junior sous chef. This experience showed me how to handle a high- volume, fine-dining restaurant while working over 90 hours a week. After my time in New York, I returned to Bradenton to attend Keiser University for a degree in culinary arts while working at Polo Grill. In 2015, I joined the Alinea team as a chef de partie before becoming a sous chef. While with Alinea, I traveled to Dallas, Madrid, Miami and New York before relaunching Alinea -- and maintaining its three-star Michelin rating and No. 6 world ranking.

Restaurant workers experience poverty at nearly three times the rate of workers overall, and workers of color experience poverty at nearly twice the rate of white restaurant workers.4 The restaurant industry argues that an increase in the minimum wage for tipped workers is not necessary because livable wages are available in bartending and serving (Tier I Front-of-the-House, or FOH) positions in fine-dining,5 but these livable wage opportunities are available to only a small percentage of workers.6 Additionally, previous research on fine-dining in New York found that those doors are largely closed to workers of color.7 This report replicates those findings and finds people of color in the restaurant industry often face: A GLASS CEILING: Workers of color, with equal qualifications are granted living wage opportunities only 73% of the time, compared to white workers.
