Protesters Swarm Salt Bae’s Miami Steakhouse After Chef Bragged About Feeding Venezuelan Dictator | Eater
"After footage of the Istanbul dinner circulated, roughly 100 Venezuelan protesters gathered outside the Miami (Brickell) branch, chanting in Spanish and holding signs showing hungry children while demanding an apology. The demonstrations drew public condemnation from figures such as Senator Marco Rubio and triggered coordinated online backlash—including waves of one-star Yelp reviews accusing the restaurateur of supporting a tyrant and calling the restaurant overpriced and overhyped—amplified by the chef’s prior controversial posts (for example, a photo of himself dressed as Fidel Castro) that had already generated local ire." - Whitney Filloon
