“I have worked to be a better leader and Noma has taken big steps to transform the culture over many years. I recognize these changes do not repair the past,” Redzepi said.<\/p>\n
He added that “an apology is not enough; I take responsibility for my own actions.”<\/p>\n
Redzepi has previously admitted to losing his cool, including in 2015, when he said in an essay that “I’ve been a bully for a large part of my career”.<\/p>\n
In February, former head of Noma’s fermentation lab, Jason Ignacio White, started posting about abuse he had witnessed while working at Noma and relayed stories sent to him by other former employees.<\/p>\n
“Noma is not a story of innovation. It is a story of a maniac that would breed culture of fear, abuse & exploitation,” White said in an Instagram\u00a0post in early February.<\/p>\n
An acronym formed from the Danish words “nordisk” (Nordic) and “mad” (food), Noma first opened on a quay in central Copenhagen in 2003.<\/p>\n
It closed in 2016 and reopened two years later in a slightly more remote neighbourhood of the Danish capital.<\/p>\n
On Wednesday, Noma opened a pop-up restaurant in Los Angeles, but the opening was marked by a protest led by former employees.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"“I have worked to be a better leader and Noma has taken big steps to transform the culture…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":38640,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[6],"tags":[20544,108,21081,1304],"class_list":["post-38639","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-copenhagen","tag-abuse","tag-copenhagen","tag-noma","tag-restaurant"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@dk\/116216459880097790","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38639","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=38639"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38639\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/38640"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=38639"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=38639"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=38639"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
