John Tesar’s Knife Modern Steak will get a rebrand later this year now that the celebrity chef is out.
in a statement posted to X, formerly known as Twitter. “I especially want to apologize to the members of my team. I regret the situation has become a distraction and believe it is in the best interest of all parties, that I end my involvement with the restaurant in the Marriott Cliff Resort & Spa.”
Since July, hotel workers in Southern California and Arizona have been working without a contract, Nation’s Restaurant News noted. That same month, Unite Here Local 11, the union that represents employees at the Laguna Cliffs Marriott, filed a federal unfair labor practice charge against the resort, saying that it had encouraged, sanctioned, and/or failed to prevent violence by guests against picketers.
Almost 50 California legislators have stated their support for the local union and expressed concern about the situation occurring at the hotel. In a letter to Jagdeep Singh Bachher, the University of California’s chief investment officer , they called the combative incidents “profoundly troubling” and raised doubts about the Laguna Cliffs’ management.
“In addition to being concerned about the wellbeing of the hotel’s workers, we wish to avoid disruptions to the quality of the service at the hotel and long-term damage to the hotel’s brand and reputation,” the lawmakers wrote. Whatever ends up happening between the union and the resort, Knife Modern Steak will no longer be part of that reputation.
