介绍： Punching, Slamming, Screaming: A Chef's Past Abuse Haunts Noma, the World's Top-Rated Restaurant
Since 2004, Mr. Redzepi has been rewriting the rules of fine dining, preaching sustainable eating and creating jewel-like plates that earned Noma three Michelin stars and landed it five times at No. 1 on the World's 50 Best Restaurants List.
But in recent weeks, Noma's upcoming pop-up in Los Angeles, a $1,500-per-person dinner series that begins on March 11, has sparked a public conversation about Mr. Redzepi's past behavior.
Since Mr. Redzepi was first captured on camera screaming at cooks in the 2008 documentary "Noma at Boiling Point," he has made several public apologies.
One former cook, who requested anonymity because he feared retaliation, said Mr. Redzepi had physically attacked him more times than he could remember during his time at Noma. Some 30 former employees said that being hit by Mr. Redzepi, and by the senior cooks who ran the kitchen, was routine. 
Many dishes at Noma and its pop-ups include 20 or more components, and its signature style includes complex, fragile items like insects made of fruit leather and tiny plums wrapped in kelp. That workload, plus the perfectionism that Mr. Redzepi enforced from the top, they said, generated constant, frantic urgency. “It felt like we were working in an E.R., or a submarine that was going down,” said Ben, a chef in Australia, who worked at Noma in 2012. “It was hell, but I learned so much that I can’t say I regret it.”
Marco Cerruti, a chef in Los Angeles who worked at the Copenhagen restaurant in 2015, said that while Mr. Redzepi’s creativity remains unmatched, his status as a global leader is no longer deserved, and his legacy is diminished.
