The restaurant owner came over and asked the women to stop dancing, and gave them a tongue lashing. The entire incident was captured on video:
The owner told the women, “I spent a lot of money buying this building and investing in this concept so that Black people would have somewhere good to go eat and feel good about ourselves as a culture.”
The owner continued, “75 percent of our customers are ladies … how can I tell the men to respect themselves, while you guys are here twerking.”
He ended by saying, “If you want to [twerk], get the f**k out of my restaurant.”

I think y’all are missing the bigger picture here……. whether you agree with the owners point or not, you don’t speak to your customers that way, especially not cursing at them.
You’d be foolish to spend another dollar at True Kitchen.

“I appreciate you being here today and I am glad that you’re having a great time at True Kitchen however can you please not dance on the furniture. We have others eating and it can be disturbing to their experience. Please continue to enjoy the music and food.”
