London restaurant suffers "furious backlash" over Instagram photo of all white-male chef line-up

A Notting Hill restaurant has come under fire after the boss posted a photo of his team of all white-male chefs, with criticism at the ‘totally unrepresentative’ line-up.

Thomas Straker, alongside seven other chefs, posed for a photo which is distinctly missing any women or ethnic minority kitchen staff.

The Instagram post captioned ‘Chef team assembled’, quickly gathered a flurry of outraged comments about the lack of diversity in the team.

Straker, who boasts an impressive social media following with 2.1million on TikTok and 1.4million on Instagram, had public opinion online quickly sour on him.

Critics said that the line-up was “disappointing” and proved that fine dining was “still a white boys’ club”.

Matthew 24:7 is going to happen, just as prophesied.

People keep harping on this and just keeps making it worse.

Another sign of the last days.

This constant tribalism comes from Satan, the Deceiver.

Of course if a soccer team is all black, nobody complains about the lack of diversity there.

If the owner claimed the chefs were all ukraine refugees I bet that would have shut up the “critics”

A lot of people have accepted the conditioning to react in a certain manner if they see “too much” of particular race or sex ratios. You can always ignore the conditioning and think for yourself.

the only conditioning is if the group is white males, no one cares otherwise

Huh ... there’s a really good chance those lads won’t spit, s#it, or otherwise defile your food.

Can’t say the same for certain ethnic groups.

The most disgusting thing is Straker apologizing and promising to do better. 85% of all TV commercials star or include POC. If under-representation is an issue, start by bringing white people back in ads.

If under-representation is an issue, start by bringing white people back in ads as the good guy ... start showing women as stupid ... start showing dark-skinned people as criminals.

If I were these chefs, I would start polishing up mu resume. Some of them may be forced out, and it won’t be because they are a mediocre chef.

They're probably the only people who could cook the cuisine of the restaurant.

Why don't they go into a Jamaican restaurant and see what the chefs look like?

Why would anyone complain about a team that is 100% diverse?
