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”.
I’ve sent the same complaints to the NBA about the inordinate number of black players on the rosters, yet no one has gotten back to me.
I wish the restaurant owner was Gordon Ramsey, not this wet washcloth.
THAT would be fun.
If the customers don’t like it then perhaps the restaurant should offer diverse food: today your meal will be delicious or maybe mediocre or perhaps plain cr*p!

Token black guy took the pic. 😂
Quite frankly, they are diverse - there’s an Italian and an Irishman and I think the bald guy is Central European (though not sure)
The chap in the middle looks a bit like Kyle Rittenhouse
In California, the hallmark of a good Chinese restaurant is the clientele. When you walk in, if everybody is Chinese (customers and staff), you know you’ve found a good place to:eat. Never once in my 72 years did it ever occur to me that “this place isn’t diverse” and leave. Quite the opposite.
This diversity fetish only applies to whites.
A blackface or two would have helped in this situation. Maybe using photoshop.
At least they won’t spit in crackas food.
If you are at a genuine Chinese restaurant you do not want “diversity” in the chefs....
lol.
Is it English “cuisine”? If so, what’s the problem? Would whites demand representation in an Afro-Caribbean kitchen?
So, give a couple of the guys wigs and falsies, and tart ‘em up with a bit of make up. Then take the photo.
What they are most frustrated and furious about, is that
White people exist at all.
They make no bones about it either.
Some women have taken it one step further, making public
statements about how much better it would be with no men
on the planet.
Is it bad if a Chinese restaurant has all Chinese chefs?
“I am very sorry for my initial response. I am absolutely committed to ensuring diversity in my restaurants, unfortunately we aren’t achieving this in my kitchens currently and this is an area I know I need to improve on, making sure it is seen as a welcoming and approachable environment for all.”
Are there any men out there anymore?
Wrong. It’s only white skin that is bad. Especially if the whites have (real) testicles and dicks.
