The Instagram post, now deleted but captured by restaurateur Jen Agg, shows Gorini and the kitchen staff wearing Asian conical hats and some of the staff pulling back the corners of their eyes. The blatantly racist gesture, as Agg points out, garnered a lot of likes as well as critical comments.
“The shot in question was dictated by the excitement and enthusiasm that the confrontation with a new culture has generated in our daily work,” he wrote, “Now I realize, that I probably don’t know the subject of the question well enough and that I have underestimated its meaning.” He also tags Liong, and invites him to Italy to cook with him in his restaurant. Liong doesn’t appear to have commented on the situation publicly.
actions totally uncalled for. Him n his staff should find another race to insult
Saw the headline and knew it would be Italians.
It’s okay. If his culinary career fails he can always become prime minister of Canada.
“I was overcome with excitement. It made me racist. It was infectious. Just look at this child”
'The excitement made me racist' is a good one. Almost Trumpian.
