Pei Chung allegedly ate at multiple fancy restaurants around New York City and then skipped out on paying
A would-be food influencer known online as the “dine-and-dash diva” has been jailed in Brooklyn, New York, after multiple previous arrests for allegedly skipping out on the bill at high-end restaurants.
Pei Chung, 34, is said to have developed a habit of going to fancy restaurants around New York City, ordering extensively off the menu – and then trying to get out of paying.
Chung has been banned from at least seven restaurants, according to the establishments, and police have said they keep arresting her for her refusal to pay restaurant bills. Chung allegedly skipped out on paying at Williamsburg restaurants at least six times – including one Michelin-starred brasserie, Francie, twice.
At one sitting in October, she reportedly ordered $15 foie gras, $32 carpaccio, $28 bucatini, $52 lamb and $19 hot chocolate mousse – before skipping out on the check.
