So there are no seats.

And I have, in fact, spoken to a few diners who had reservations and planned on keeping them because they said these are allegations of abuse that had occurred in the past.

He's apologized.

One diner said, you know, I follow a lot of sports teams and they have problematic players.

So why is fine dining different?

Why, morally, would this not be in the same vein?

So...

It's been, again, a range of responses from chefs, from the dining community, from diners themselves.

I think I've heard it all at this point.
