Former employees are accusing celebrated chef René Redzepi of years of abusive behavior at his acclaimed restaurant, Noma.
Chef René Redzepi has made Noma one of the world’s most celebrated restaurants.
Based in Copenhagen, Denmark, Noma boasts three Michelin stars.
Now, dozens of former employees are accusing Redzepi of years of physical and psychological abuse in the workplace, according to a new report from The New York Times.
Former staff members detail years of alleged physical and psychological violence at the restaurant.
One dramatic incident from February 2014 illustrates the alleged conditions: during a busy service, Redzepi reportedly ordered the entire kitchen staff outside into the cold. He allegedly pushed a sous chef in front of him, angered that the young man had been playing techno music.
