Expanding the Joe Baum entry, adding Restaurant Associates

I think this entry deserves more content. Baum was a significant restauranteur whose influence was felt far beyond his addresses in the NYC Metro area and East Coast. In his serious assessment of Baum's contribution, NYT reporter and food-and-drink specialist William Grimes makes a persuasive case for him. I'll see about adding a few more citations before recommending that we remove the banner requesting more inline references.

Related -- Doesn't Restaurant Associates, now part of Compass Group, deserve its own entry, even though it has a new owner and no longer exists as a stand-alone entity? RA was hugely significant in the restaurant world. To have it be a footnote to the Compass with no history of its significance and impact seems strange. Now it's relegated to a list in the Compass entry with no additional info. Seems odd, ahistorical. Sam Perkins (talk) 19:53, 25 February 2025 (UTC)
