A chef who became a star after posting on TikTok has told those who criticised the lack of diversity in the staff of his West London restaurant to “calm down”.
Late last week Thomas Straker posted pictures of eight members of the cooking team at his Notting Hill restaurant, with the caption “chef team assembled”. Commentators responded to his post in their droves, saying it proved the food world was a “white boys’ club”. One asked: “Why aren’t there any female chefs?”
