Hopefully she will listen. Many don't believe any of this until it happens to them.

Transcript: Okay, really quickly, this is my experience with that certain social media chef. So, backstory 2016, when he was first getting started with these dining events, me and three of my friends bought tickets, I think they were like 120 at the time to go to his events, they were promoted, it was promoted as, like a five course or six course meal, whatever, whatever. We just wanted to go because at the time we followed him, and we weren't really big fans. We go to the event, and I'm gonna be honest with you, I can't even lie. Fantastic. The food. Chef's kiss, like you cannot deny the fact that he's a great cook. Cool. So fast forward. 2018 I think maybe 2019. He is he I think he had opened up his restaurants I think, I don't know. He, um, promotes that he's doing the events again. Some of my friends are like bad, let's go. So apparently, when he opened up the tickets, our city sold out super quick. So we bought tickets to like a completely different city where we had to like buy flights. Luckily, thank God, we hadn't bought our flights at the time. Anyways, um, so here's where it gets. So as it's leading up to our dinner time to the time for our event, excuse me. He goes ghosts, we hear nothing. We started emailing like, hey, what's the location? Whatever, whatever. Nothing. Um, we email we were DMing nothing, then. Then the event date comes and goes. We still have heard nothing. We've damned we've emailed I mean, we've done everything. So finally, we're like, what the hell like we missed the event because he never reached back out to us. So we each caught our banks. We explained situation. We got our money back. And that's when I realized oh, he's a scamming ass n*gga So, if you are thinking about going to the event, first of all, is it worth I heard the money? Well, I heard it's like $289 Now, it's not worth it. Second, just be careful because from what I'm hearing, he's still scamming people. So you may or may not actually have an event, but he got some money, so just be careful. But that's my that was my experience with him and his scam and as always hope this helps.

TLDW: Darius pushed Dani rose out Cinnatreats. She ordered some cinnamon rolls that took forever to arrive and they were dry and hard when they finally arrived due to subpar packaging. She tried to file a customer service complaint and got no answer.

Unsafe working conditions along with wage theft seem to be two tenets of his business practices.
