Surprised that a meal with his employees brought a warning letter from a state agency, Solvang chef Michael Cherney decided to spread the word to avoid others landing in the predicament.
“Fellow restaurant friends and family, PLEASE learn from our mistakes. NO ONE is allowed to eat or drink inside your restaurant or on your patio. No where on your property is ANYONE allowed to eat or drink anything but WATER. This includes employees and owners. During regular business hours or after hours,” Cherney said in a social media post for Peasants Feast.
