The man behind one of New York City's legendary restaurants weighed in on the fierce debate raging in his industry
Danny Meyer, the high-profile restaurateur who founded Shake Shack, got rid of tipping at his 13 restaurants. Celebrity chef Tom Colicchio and others have said they will try out the no-tipping thing too.
But don't expect that at the legendary Michelin-starred French spot Le Bernardin.
Everyone in New York's fine-dining land is passing around this interview with chef-owner Eric Ripert in The Daily Meal, where he explains why his restaurant won't be changing its policy on the matter.
I think tipping is a better idea for many reasons ... The vast majority of my employees prefer tipping and therefore I will not change the policy. The tipping policy is beneficial to everyone in my opinion, including waiters, customers, and owners. Only the government benefits from no tipping.
We should note that last year, Ripert hiked prices to deal with rising labor and food costs. A four-course prix-fixe meal will cost you $147.
