Tyler Daniel, a Black former server at a popular Beverly Hills eatery, Steak 48, is suing the establishment for alleged wrongful firing and discrimination following his dismissal from the restaurant last October. In the Los Angeles Superior Court lawsuit filed on June 28 against Steak 48, LLC, Daniel alleges discrimination and harassment based on race, whistleblower retaliation and wrongful termination, among other causes of action. He seeks unspecified compensatory and punitive damages.
Daniel worked at Steak 48 on Wilshire Boulevard in Beverly Hills since its official opening in January 2023, according to the lawsuit. During that time, he claims that he was routinely required to work through breaks; was forced to ask permission to use the restroom and denied overtime pay.
