The chef, who emigrated from New Zealand to the United States a decade ago and participated in the fourth season of the Bravo Top Chef cooking show, told CNN that he decided to put that message on his bills after Donald Trump signed a controversial decree. presidential. That order - whose legality is currently being aired in federal courts - blocks the entry to the United States of refugees for 120 days, blocks the entry of people from seven countries whose citizens are predominantly Muslim for 90 days, and that of refugees from Syria indefinitely.
