Following the allegations, the majority of Jordan's staff at Salare and JuneBaby quit.
The investigation, which was published Sunday, was based on comments from 28 people, including 15 women who said they were harassed by Jordan, and several supporting sources.
Jordan entered the Seattle restaurant scene in 2012, when he worked at Sitka and Spruce, a now-closed restaurant operated by chef Matt Dillon. Soon, he became the Chef de cuisine at Bar Sajor, also owned by Dillon. In 2015, he opened his own restaurant, Salare, and opened a second establishment, JuneBaby, in 2017. Jordan received national attention and acclaim for his restaurants, winning two James Beard Awards in 2018. In late 2018, he also opened Lucinda Grain Bar.
Thirteen people who worked with Jordan said they didn't witness sexual misconduct by the chef, though 11 said they didn't want to"invalidate the women's allegations," according to the Times. The publication did not find any record of police reports or lawsuits alleging sexual misconduct, and Jordan told the publication his businesses have never entered into confidential settlements with employees.
