Noma chef René Redzepi resigns over abuse allegations: What it says about the workplace nearly a decade after #MeToo

The restaurant industry was riled by the reckoning years ago, but toxic behavior still skates by longer than it should.

James Beard Award-winning chef René Redzepi, who co-founded the iconic Michelin-starred Noma restaurant in Copenhagen, announced his resignation on Wednesday. The announcement comes following years of allegations of abuse, assault, and the creation of a toxic work environment at the restaurant, which is one of the world’s most famous, influential, and acclaimed dining spots.
