Not one, but two chefs backed out of agreements to open restaurants in Donald Trump’s Washington, D.C. hotel. I previously wrote about celebrity chef Jose Andres here. Also, Geoffrey Zakarian backed out of a similar deal. Donald Trump sued both. Both backed out after he disparaged Mexican immigrants. Both chefs claim they would have trouble hiring staff and attracting patrons after such remarks. Donald sued, as he often does. Mr. Trump is set to be deposed in Mr. Andres’ lawsuit next week. See CBS news report.

Both chefs have talked settlement with Mr. Trump. But, no agreement has been reached. The President-elect has tried to postpone the deposition. But, it is his lawsuit. He cannot file a lawsuit and then complain that the rules are not convenient for him.
