The downfall of the world's top chef has raised questions about whether time is up for the storied bullying and abuse of fine dining kitchens. Danish chef Rene Redzepi, the founder of Noma in Copenhagen, resigned this week after The New York Times reported that dozens of his former employees say he abused them. The report came just before Noma opened an expensive pop-up in Los Angeles. Celebrity chefs bullying subordinates is a well-known and well-studied feature of fine dining kitchens for over a century. Experts say that restaurants are unlikely to self-police and make broad reforms on the scale of the entertainment industry after #MeToo exposed sexual assault in that industry.
