In Australia, an Italian chef was fired for refusing to cook a pizza with pineapple. He called it an insult to his culture In Australia, the chef of an Italian restaurant lost his job because he refused to cook a Hawaiian pizza with pineapple. David Tamborella, who worked at The Beach in Brisbane, saw this combination of products as an insult to Italian cuisine. This is what the "Guardian" reports with reference to the decision of the Australian Labor Disputes Committee. The restaurant's management repeatedly demanded the chef fill orders for pizza with pineapple, but he refused. According to the owner of the establishment, Elliot Ingram, due to this the restaurant even suffered financial losses in one of the events. Tamborella admitted that he refused to comply with the order three times, and instead of preparing the dish, suggested that the customer find out why Italians are against pineapple on pizza. The chef was fired in May this year. He tried to appeal the decision, but the labor dispute committee rejected his complaint. The La Costa restaurant itself closed in July after its lease expired. Tamborella, according to media reports, has already found work at another Italian restaurant, where Hawaiian pizza is not on the menu.
