Portland restaurateur steps away from bulk of empire after aggressive social media posts surface (via eaterpdx)
John Gorham, the figurehead of the sprawling Portland restaurant group Toro Bravo Inc, is planning to sell several of his restaurants after he posted a set of now-deleted Facebook posts that threatened and misgendered a trans woman of color.
“I wish we could take it back, but it’s out there, and I want to protect our employees and represent them in a way they deserve as well. We certainly don’t condone his behavior.” “I felt disgust that this incredibly privileged and influential individual was using his social media platform to put out a $5,000 bounty on a more-than-likely bored teenager,” she says. “Especially when those funds could’ve been used to repair his vehicle and still have funds left over to help support his staff in the middle of a pandemic.”
In the statement sent to media, Gorham did not address specifically how accountability would be implemented at the restaurants where he’s still affiliated. However, speaking with Eater PDX, he said that the restaurants were already in the process of updating their training programs to implement a greater emphasis on racial equity, and that he personally wanted to do a better job creating an equitable space.
