Do Greens and alcohol not mix?
The Herald reports:
Former Green Party MP Golriz Ghahraman has taken to social media to call out an Auckland restaurant she alleges subjected her dining group to “gross treatment” and cancelled their booking midway through.
However, the co-owner of Atelier restaurant on Karangahape Rd has claimed Ghahraman’s own behaviour was lacking and the incident has made him question offering the eatery’s bottomless brunch into the future.
“Obviously [Ghahraman] had a little bit too much to drink and didn’t behave appropriately – that’s all I can say,” Atelier’s Matt Gossett claimed. …
“Anyway, the bottomless brunch is not real. Some incredible Māori, Pasifika and queer leaders were totally screwed over mid brunch in the face of a written confirmation. It was sad and shit and not Karangahape kaupapa.
What is more likely – that a restaurant on K Road (the most liberal part of Auckland) hates black and queer people, or that they just don’t like drunk our rowdy patrons?
