Edouardo Jordan, acclaimed Seattle chef, accused by 15 women of sexual misconduct or unwanted touching


IN SEATTLE, WORKING for Edouardo Jordan is the equivalent of striking restaurant gold.

Before the pandemic, a constant stream of hopeful staff flowed through the doors of Jordan’s three restaurants, hoping the experience of working for a two-time James Beard Award winner would open doors to prestigious restaurants around the world. The New York Times dubbed his JuneBaby “the hottest new Southern restaurant in the country” in 2018.

But as his profile rose, he also subjected employees and other women in the local restaurant industry to sexual misconduct or unwanted touching, according to 28 people who spoke to The Seattle Times.

Four women said Jordan groped them at work. One recounted that Jordan put his fingers between her buttocks through her clothes during her shift and tried to kiss her on a business trip. One said he touched her crotch, and another said he slapped her on the behind. A fourth woman said he massaged her waist. A fifth woman said Jordan, her boss, subjected her to an unwanted kiss outside of work. Their accounts ranged from 2012 to 2017.
