New York Chinese Restaurant Lucky Lee’s Closes Less Than a Year After Racism Controversy - Eater NY
"Lucky Lee's, a fast-casual Chinese American restaurant, faced viral outrage for racist marketing language and is now closing after less than a year in business. The restaurant, opened by nutritionist Arielle Haspel, aimed to sell classic Chinese American dishes while following diet restrictions and wellness trends. However, it received backlash for marketing its food as 'cleaner' than traditional Chinese food. Despite attempts to adjust the marketing, the restaurant announced its closure without specifying the reasons." - Serena Dai
