First getting branded as murderous misanthropes, now this.
Not to boast, but if there is one thing BeachGrit covers more holistically than any other media outlet, it is great whites. Great white migration, great white attacks, great white preservation, great white mitigation, great white controversies, great white science, great white patterns of behavior and today, finally, Great White racism. The concept of the great white restaurant is reminiscent of these discussions. Additionally, the great white restaurant highlights the evolving culinary scene.
There is a micro-chain of cafes in Los Angeles, you see, founded by two Australians named Sam. One surnamed Cooper, the other Trude. They are both handsome in that classic Australian way Chris Hemsworth, say, is handsome. Broad, healthy, exceedingly… white.
In the spirit of this culinary trend, the great white restaurant stands out.
Exploring the Great White Restaurant Experience
The great white restaurant offers a unique dining experience that reflects these themes.
“We are both from Australia, which is full of amazing all-day cafes, drawing largely from its European history and heritage, but executed in a casual, outdoor, typically beachside setting,” Cooper told Modern Luxury magazine after the opening of the Melrose location. “We were both curious as to why this cultural staple was not present in the U.S., particularly in California where the weather, lifestyle and landscape are so similar to that of Sydney and other coastal Australian cities. We saw a gap in the market in L.A. for a casual, all-day concept that serves fresh produce prepared with thoughtful simplicity and delivered in an easygoing, casual and friendly way.”
Well, the chain is currently under fire for purportedly being anti-easygoing, non-casual and un-friendly, specifically to Asians. Ed Choi, creator of Asian Things, took to Instagram to share the wild number of messages he’s received detailing that Great White allegedly only sits Asians together and in a small corner. His initial social media post went so viral that Sam and Sam were forced to turn comments off on Great White’s Instagram channel and halt Yelp, Google, etc. reviews.
Choi then received even more messages from even more people sharing that Great White allegedly discriminates against blacks and hispanics too, so came back for more. According to Choi, a former employee shared that he/she was told to, “Limit the amount of ethnic looking people and only let in hot looking people.” He points out how the menu claims European, North American and Australian influence but is, by and large, Asian and South American inspired, shares more and more and more incriminating stories, ending with, “Like I said before: Patterns of Behavior are impossible to hide; your belief seep out of everything you do and every choice you make. You just have to be able to see them. And for Sam Trude and Sam Cooper of @greatwhite, it seems every decision they make seems to scream it very loudly. Oh, and Sams, for legal reasons, this is all alleged and my own opinions.”
Uh oh.
Great Whites really stepping in it this time.

Wait, its possible to be racist against Asians now?
I thought they were white adjacent which is why they were being limited access to Harvard.
applauding everyone for turning this POS little story into a comment machine. Really impressive work by all .
If I didn’t upvote you, I meant to , will catch you next time
Absolute cracker
I can tell you as an immigrant cunt that lives in the U$A I have never seen one Aboriginal work in a Great White and Im incensed.
The two times I been, as white and part of patriarchy I did feel anointed in privilege and I liked it. I had a selfie bukkake celebrating it all.
However are they ray cyst? Hardly I could see some friends from Mexico and from other southernly jaunts working away making our 13$ Avocado toast bespoke with Fresno Chili for many of us entitled, impatiently wanting our foods. The bloke picking up my food, same from an exotic land south of us. The hostess with an IQ of 43 but with amazing body. She was white as David Duke but she deserves to work too. Diversity was abundant and everywhere.
My sis went to college in SF. She claimed she had to leave because she started getting racist against Asians(Chinese illegals). She’s fine now on the central coast.

Hilarious if they’re running a racist operation and tried to get away with calling it “Great Whites”. Racism is dumb, but you’ve got to commend the cojones on that move by this pair of chuds
They’re calling for you.
Think you need to do some more curls and pushups, bro.
Sounds like a place Hayden Shapes curated with his miso soup.
Born and raised in LA and these cunts can fuck off. Although I’m not surprised, especially with their location being on Melrose. Plenty of other good cafes in and around LA. And of course, not to mention Southern California as a whole.
Fuk Choi
The place should be boycotted by everyone, but not for the reason Ed Choi and his mates claim.
It should be boycotted because part owner Sam Cooper wears douche strings.

Disgraceful conduct…
Aren’t they rubber bands to help recovering addicts? Something about when you feel the urge you pull it back and flick yourself and the pain gives you a hit?
Oh reeeeally
Well in that case, hopefully they’ll break and he’ll forget to put new ones on, then he’ll get back on the gear, drive the business broke, and be suckin’ dick under a flyover before ya can say ‘great white’…
Big trouble in little China.
Xox
I fuck off to France for our early Vicco spring. It’s disgusting.
In the land of titties and wine!
Xox
They shoulda called it
The phat qunt
Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.
Xox
It means fat cunt in vietnamese
In L.A., being called rascit is a badge of honor, like being called a racist on Beach Grit.
I got called “racist” for not knowing the race of the guy calling me a racist……..yelling at me for trying to keep his child from getting hurt.
BTW – the fuck asian guy’s on about? open air joint….corner table, eye on the entrance is always preferred.
personal favorite is corner near the kitchen door.
I wonder if Mahlatse Letoka would eat there when in LA?
Does Mahlatse dislike asians?
THIS is the Q in need of an answer. If only she was a surfer!
If only Asian guys had bigger dicks they could take all the bitter white girls off our hands and everyone would be happy.
You didn’t zip tie the kid half naked in the middle of the night again?
Please keep your fantasies to yourself.
Jeez you cunts are pathetic. Next you’re going to tell me the Epstein list doesn’t exist?
Epstein was a Democrat super bundler who weaseled his way into the orbit of every elitist he could and was a pervert just like them (Clinton, Gore , Biden, Weinstein, Weiner, etc). If there were kompromat on the Donald, it would have been used years ago, instead of two fake impeachments and phony felony indictments that went nowhere. The insistence that all these powerful people at the levers of government permitted some list implicating them in a pedo ring sit in a file cabinet in the Hoover Bldg for 20 years beggars belief.

Damn, that level of cognitive dissonance is pretty impressive. May every day be another wonderful secret to you too :*
When does koala shagging season start?
“… We saw a gap in the market in L.A. for a casual, all-day concept that serves fresh produce prepared with thoughtful simplicity and delivered in an easygoing, casual and friendly way.”
there is one of those places like every other block.
it was small gap, the gap between Almont and La Peer.
Smells like trust fund babies at work
Somewhat hard to fathom a story like this. For what it’s worth I would suggest the great whites should team up and save the world
