An award-winning San Francisco chef who got fired following a dispute with a TikTok influencer inside his restaurant said the incident has ruined his career and family.
Luke Sung was ousted late last month from his position as co-owner and chef of Bay Area wine bar Kis Cafe after allegedly 'disrespecting' Karla Marcotte.
Marcotte posted about their interaction to her TikTok, saying she fled the restaurant in tears after saying Sung questioned her appearance at the eatery and allegedly disrespected her for having only 15,000 followers.
The video clocked in over 10 million views, with users bombarding the restaurant with negative reviews after figuring out where it was she had attempted to dine.
Days after, Kis Cafe said on Instagram that Sung's 'behavior was unacceptable' and said he was 'no longer part of the team as a co-owner, a chef or in any other way'.
