A once prominent kosher steakhouse and butchery owner — who has since done lobbying work for the country of Qatar — owes over half a million dollars in unpaid wages, interest and fines, state officials claim.
The New York State Department of Labor is trying to recoup $646,893 from Joseph Allaham, nearly a decade after his high-end Manhattan steakhouse, Prime Grill, closed in 2016, according to recent court filings. Lawyers for the department say Allaham — who became a lobbyist with a $1.4 million contract from Qatar after the eatery shuttered — owes his former staff $168,000 total. That includes $110,000 in unpaid wages to four butchers who worked at Allaham’s since-shuttered Upper East Side kosher butcher shop,Fighting for their rights: Beastie Boys sue Chili’s for using ‘Sabotage’ in ad without permission Provocative Upper East Side vegan faces $50K suit for refusing to stop feeding pigeons: ‘It’s bulls–t’ Sons claim NY nursing home wrongly declared 82-year-old mom dead, stuffed her in body bag for two hours The state first asked him to cough up the cash in 2019, and Allaham appealed the judgement against him.
