Geoffrey Lee, renowned executive chef, has left his roles in three restaurants in San Francisco following a social media incident.
The controversy began after influencer Kat Ensign shared screenshorts of private messages between her and Lee after she reviewed his restaurant, Hamburger Project.
Ensign rated a burger at the restaurant as “good but not great,” which subsequently led to hostile responses from Lee.
The online backlash affected the restaurant's reviews significantly, prompting a public statement announcing Lee's departure.
Lee expressed that his actions do not reflect the hardworking staff, who should not bear the consequences of his behavior.
