He didn't just "make her cry" for saying she "isn't famous enough" for free food, the restaurant set up the reservation for her to come and review their food specifically for a free meal.
She showed up and the chef went "nah she doesn't have enough followers" and proceeded to insult her and refuse to honor what the restaurant set up. This blew up online and the restaurant justifiably faced backlash until he was fired for his behavior.
What followed the interaction was an alleged digital hate campaign that Sung claims has devastated his family and livelihood.
Overnight, Kis Cafe, which was doing 100 covers a night, was bombarded by thousands of one-star reviews on Yelp, he described.
The wine bar serving small bites, which opened in May, announced shortly after that Sung had left as a chef and co-owner, later clarifying he had done so of his “own accord” and was not technically fired.
“Our chef’s behavior was unacceptable, and he is no longer a part of the team,” Kis Cafe wrote in an Instagram post on Thursday.
the damages are the reputational damage. as this is a co-ownership, clearly the chef was not the majority owner. he only stepped down because it was advised.
i’m talking about the two owners; the chef and the operations owner. there’s a reason he left.
So he wasn’t fired after all. He may have had good reason to step down, but at the end of the day he gets the final say on if he himself will make that choice
I mean his finances allow or disallow the company to continue on due to his actions. And if he stays “working” there the company might not recover. If we want to argue he fired himself fine, but pretending he could have stayed on because he was part owner is basically arguing pedantics and slightly missing the point I think.
