Who is Brittany Anderson? Christian group says 'we won't be silenced' as TV chef's restaurant refuses to serve
RICHMOND, VIRGINIA: A former ‘Top Chef’ contestant, Brittanny Anderson, has come under fire after her Virginia restaurant allegedly canceled reservations made by The Family Foundation, a conservative Christian group, on November 30. The president of the Christian group, Victoria Cobb, has hit back at the cancelation and said, “Our witness will not be diminished, and we will not be silenced. We will speak out when we see this type of religious discrimination occurring in Virginia.”
On December 1, Cobb wrote on the group's official website via a blog post named 'We've Been Canceled! Again,' "Last night, our team and supporters got that firsthand experience when Metzger’s Bar and Butchery in Richmond, VA refused to service our pre-reserved event, leaving us scrambling just moments before. For weeks, we had planned a gathering of supporters and interested people in a private room to fellowship and receive an update on our work. About an hour and a half before the event was set to take place, one of the restaurant’s owners called our team to cancel the event. As our VP of Operations explained that guests were arriving at their restaurant shortly, she asked for an explanation. Sure enough, an employee looked up our organization, and their wait staff refused to serve us."
