A darling of Cleveland's culinary scene said Thursday that he wouldn't allow Donald Trump to set foot in his restaurants when the Republican National Convention rolls into town next month.
"Dude, there's not a chance I'd let him into one of my restaurants," Michael Symon said in an interview with Cleveland radio station WKRK, as flagged by cleveland.com.
Symon, who owns multiple restaurants in Cleveland, rose to fame after winning "The Next Iron Chef," earning him a permanent spot on the show. He's also a host of ABC's "The Chew" and appears frequently on Food Network programs.
Two of Symon's restaurants are located near Quicken Loans Arena, where Trump is expected to be crowned the Republican Party's nominee. If either of those restaurants host private parties as the convention unfolds, he said the real estate mogul won't be among those invited.
Asked if he thought his ban on the real estate mogul would alienate Trump fans who might be customers, Symon said that it had nothing to do with politics. The celebrity chef said that he had been "fortunate or unfortunate enough to meet him through the years."
"It's just that he creeps me out," Symon said.
"I come from a mixed political family, which is always fun around this time of the world," a chuckling Symon told hosts Matt Dery and Anthony Lima. "I've been fortunate or unfortunate enough to meet him through the years. I'm not going to lie, he creeps me out a little bit."

Could it possibly be that he's a bad tipper?

Yeah, it would be unfair for other people to get in trouble for not catering to fags and for this guy to not get in trouble for not catering to fags.

Just need to state a reason to refuse service that does not rely on a protected status.
You can refuse to serve an asshole in a wheelchair, but you have to do it on the basis that he's an asshole who is cruel to your staff, not based on the wheelchair.
Restaurant near me kicked out the governor a few years back. His presence was causing a commotion among their other guests. (He had recently enacted some very unpopular policies.) Restaurant business exploded after they kicked him out.
Assume it's an advertising thing. "Don't like Trump? Dine here and you won't have to sit by him!"

Sure, its definitly not about politics, and let me say "creeps me out" is a much worse excuse to refuse service than politics.

If there was any doubt this cuck wasn't employing illegals in his back of house this just removed it.
I wonder how much he's paying Juan and Felipe back in the dish-pit. $4 an hour? Maybe $5 if they work fast?
