The lawsuit concerned the Trump International Hotel (DC) restaurant deal that Andrés pulled out of after Trump made comments disparaging Mexicans.

I was wondering if the whole thing was as described and why. Now, it makes sense.

I'm a little concerned still about the whole story. All I've seen so far is a tweet from the chef that asks the question if Ivanka made this happen. I've not seen anything more damning yet. It makes me nervous that we're going to get caught in a pizzagate sort of trap.

at any of his restaurants to winners of Trump's fake news awards.

I'm guessing he's pleased that he made Ivanka uncomfortable.

And the Yelp reviews after the incident are brutal.

5. Questions
Sun Jan 28, 2018, 12:57 PM
Jan 2018

1) Don't Ivanka and the rest of her clan have a lot of other things to be uncomfortable about?

2) What is the Alfalfa Dinner? " The Alfalfa Club is a Washington, D.C. social organization that exists only to hold an annual banquet on the last Saturday of January.[2] The club's membership, which numbers about 200, is composed primarily of influential politicians business executives, and has included several Presidents of the United States. The group's name is a reference to the plant's supposed willingness to "do anything for a drink." When founded in 1913, the Club's function was to celebrate the birthday of Confederate Civil War General Robert E. Lee. It began admitting blacks in 1974, and women in 1994.[2] In 2009, President Barack Obama spoke at the club's annual dinner, saying "this dinner began almost one hundred years ago as a way to celebrate the birthday of General Robert E. Lee. If he were here with us tonight, the General would be 202 years old. And very confused."

3) Why is it a new low FOR WASHINGTON? What's Washington got to do with it? How far from LOW are the Twitler clan that there's room for lower lows?

he was attending an EVENT there and then apparently the guests at the event were told "everyone" can attend the "after party", but then suddenly he was removed.

My daughter is a high-powered DC attorney whose firm entertains at Cafe Milano from time to time, among other DC restaurants. The last bash they had there cost the firm over $10,000. She just told me the partners had a phone conference a few minutes ago and voted unanimously NO MORE BUSINESS TO CAFE MILANO!!!

She is calling her partner friends at other big-time DC firms, asking them to boycott the place.

Exactly whothefuck does Princess Ivanka think she is?

Back during the French Revolution, one of the royals said they ruled because they were blue bloods. The peasants brought out the guillotine to check. Time for a guillotine on the White House lawn.

Thank you @CafeMilanoDC Franco Nuschese! I was a guest of the #alfalfaclubdinner2018 “everyone”welcome to the after party, but I’m the only individual not allow in? Is because @IvankaTrump told you so? You should be ashamed of yourself Franco.@washingtonpost

He is willing to say he believes her only because he sees a chance to maybe help others, but that is the LAST thing she or her filthy husband care about.

Jorge Guajardo stands by everything he's tweeted about the encounter.
?

@jorge_guajardo
At the Alfalfa dinner, Franco came up to Jose Andres and gave him a friendly kiss. A little later he would be asked to do the Trump’s dirty work and, like Judas, betray an old friend.

@jorge_guajardo

Ivanka walked in ahead of him, not comfortable with his presence. Already inside. He’s approached and asked to come outside where Franco, who he knows perfectly well for many years, wants to talk to him. Once outside, he’s not allowed back in.

...that it was 'explained' to him that it was a misunderstanding. Chefs not buying it...but asked all to support the Industry. Twitter world went all cray cray on Yelp and Franco's restaurant is now sporting a 2 star rating. Maybe that's the reason for the 'apology-explanation'?
