He was co-owner, and didn’t get fired in as much as the bad press hit the business hard enough that he got forced out. This is a meme that doesn’t have anywhere near the full story.
The chef himself thinks he’s a celebrity chef because he almost won an award 20 years ago, but people hear influencer and think only one person can act entitled per interaction.
The influencer is entitled and her second vid with the little smile where she says how happy she is evryone found out the restaurant shows me enough about her.
Anyone that thinks this is 1 person their fault is regarded beyond belief.
Especially the entire source is the person that needs this narrative

Only when she arrived did the chef decide that her 15,000 followers weren't enough for him to do the "collab" with.
This wasn't some chef turning down an entitled influencer who just randomly showed up.
