Kenji López-Alt Apologizes for Saying He Won’t Serve MAGA Hat-Wearers | Eater

"A recently opened Bay Area restaurant led by cookbook author and chef-partner Kenji López-Alt that became the center of controversy after he tweeted he would refuse service to patrons wearing “Make America Great Again” caps, comparing them to KKK hoods and swastikas; the tweet was deleted amid accusations of discrimination and a flurry of local and national headlines. López-Alt later clarified that patrons of all political views are welcome but that publicly displayed bigotry would not be tolerated, apologized to staff and partners for making a public statement without consulting his team, cited threatening emails and staff-safety concerns, and emphasized that restaurant policy was not being changed while urging diners to leave hate, anger, and violence outside." - Whitney Filloon
