Chef Cesar Ramirez allegedly asked that worst pieces of meat be given to Asian customers



THE chef at a three-Michelin star restaurant in New York insisted that lesser pieces of meat be given to Asian customers, a new lawsuit claims.

Customers at Chef’s Table paid a flat fee of US$255 per person to eat at the Brooklyn restaurant plus a US$50 service charge each, but allegedly did not receive the same treatment.

According to the New York Post, former sous chefs and servers have accused chef César Ramirez of openly prohibiting Asian customers from being placed too close to him, referring to them as “s- -t people,” ex-server Emi Howard alleges in the suit. The tiny restaurant only seats 18 customers and currently takes bookings six weeks in advance.

He openly prohibited Asian customers from being placed too close to him at his section of the Downtown Brooklyn restaurant’s chichi counter.



The suit says when it came time to distribute cuts of meat during the fusion French-Asian meal service, Asians — along with suspected Upper West Siders — were given inferior scraps, while preferred diners were given choice chunks.

“When a large piece of meat was cut into many pieces for the guests, Defendant Ramirez instructed Ms. Howard to give the worst pieces of meat to the ‘s- -t people,’ i.e. Asian people, and to Upper West Siders,” the suit states.

When an Asian patron was once placed close to Ramirez during one of his culinary cabarets, the chef boiled over with rage at Howard, who is Asian, the document states.

“On one occasion, Ms. Howard ‘violated’ Defendant Ramirez’s discriminatory rule by seating Asian individuals close to his spot at the centre of kitchen counter,” the suit states.

“In response, Defendant Ramirez subjected Ms. Howard to a wild verbal tirade.”

“Mr. Ramirez from then on took control of the seating, so that he could ensure that no Asians be sat next to his place.”

Howard and four other former employees also accuse Ramirez and owner Moe Issa of cutting them out of tips and bilking them out of overtime pay.

The plaintiffs claim in the suit that the restaurant automatically charged a 20 per cent gratuity for each bill but that servers never saw a dime of those US$50 tips.

They also say Issa and Ramirez refused to pay staffers overtime, even when they worked more than 70 hours a week.

Howard and fellow axed staffers Kyle McMahon, Loren Mash and Santos Hernandez are seeking unspecified back pay and damages.
