"I am not 'boycotting' anything," Bourdain wrote. "I choose to not patronize chefs who tacitly support deporting half the people they've ever worked with."
Chef Anthony Bourdain recently clarified why he has refused to eat at any restaurant owned by Donald Trump. The television personality berated chefs who "tacitly support" the president-elect's immigration policy by working for him in a Thursday Tweet, while also noting the huge numbers of undocumented immigrants in the restaurant industry.
The tweet came as a follow up to comments Bourdain made in an interview in the Wednesday's addition of Eater. When asked about sushi chef Alessandro Borgognone's recent decision to move his restaurant to Trump's Washington D.C. hotel, Bourdain said he would "never eat in his restaurant" and felt "utter and complete contempt" for the chef.
