Grady Jarrett: I Was Turned Away From Atlanta Restaurant Because I Wore Gucci!

NFL player Grady Jarrett is the latest Black patron turned away from a restaurant.

It is time to end dress codes for restaurants and bars. It is a racist and discriminatory practice that often target Blacks and other people of color. We need to address this.

This gay white nationalist is leading a movement to separate the upscale neighborhoods of Buckhead from the city of Atlanta. Washed Up 45 is also on board with it. The far right often claims that crime in Atlanta skyrocketed and Democrats aren't doing anything to stop it. The Republicans won't stop gun violence and they won't fund mental health and drug treatment programs. 

They want to use crime as a part of their plan to win back Congress. Culture wars are the only thing the party has going into the election. They won't stop inflation nor they have serious plans on stopping it.

Atlanta's former mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms was turned away from a restaurant just last week. Now it appears that NFL defensive end Grady Jarrett of the Atlanta Falcons was turned away.

On Thursday, the Falcons veteran player posted on Instagram about trying to get dinner at Buckhead's Le Bilboquet Atlanta and was turned away as he was getting seated.

"The manager walks out, I believe he said his name was Chad, tells me I’m not dressed properly and they won’t sit me n my lady," Jarrett wrote on Instagram.

In the Instagram post, Jarrett shared his outfit, which was a Gucci suit, an Audemars Piguet Offshore watch, and a diamond tennis chain with an Ankh.

"I guess the other people rocking Nike sweat suits and t shirts that were already seated (as you can see in the background of the picture) n enjoying dinner were no problem," Jarrett wrote.

Jarrett said that he had already eaten at the restaurant the week before and "had a great experience with great waiters.

Le Bilboquet Atlanta is under fire for turning away Black customers.

He ended his post with asking the restaurant to "do better."

This isn't the first time Le Bilboquet Atlanta has experienced controversy with known Atlanta athletes. In 2021, basketball hall of famer Dominique Wilkins said the restaurant denied him a table because of his race.

"In my many years in the world, I’ve eaten at some of the greatest restaurants in the world, but never have I felt prejudice or been turned away because of the color of my skin, until today," Wilkins said in a tweet with a photo of the restaurant.

At the time, the restaurant issued an apology "for his experience at our restaurant and also for any confusion our dress code may have caused" and said they will be making immediate changes to make its dress code policy less subjective.

On its website, the restaurant says that sweatpants and athletic attire, beach flip flops, baseball caps, and cut off denim are not allowed for diners.
