San Mateo Restaurant Owner Apologizes For ‘MAGA’ Hat Ban
A restaurant owner in San Mateo has apologized after saying he would ban patrons who wear “Make America Great Again” hats to his establishment.
Kenji Lopez-Alt, chef and partner at Wursthall Restaurant and Bierhaus, said in a statement posted Friday, “Making a public statement without taking my team’s thoughts into consideration was disrespectful and reckless. My goal at Wursthall was for it to be a restaurant where all employees and staff are treated with respect and trust, and by making that public statement without your consent, I failed at that goal.”
“Wursthall will continue, as it always has, to serve all customer (sic) regardless of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, sexual preference, gender orientation, disability, or political opinion — so long as they leave hate, anger, and violence outside of the doors of our restaurant,” the chef went on to say.
Nicely worded. If I lived in the area, I would dine there wearing a button (Trump or MAGA) - something a little more understated than a red hat. I would be a model customer and would tip very well. Get a bunch of people doing that and you can effect some real change. We are not the monsters that Pelosi and Schumer make us out to be.
