Marcel management reacts to blog's misconduct claims

• The blog accuses Marcel and Rocket Farm Restaurants' management of racism toward nonwhite staff, inadequate pay for workers, sexual harassment, corrupt management and food safety violations, among other issues, as first reported by Eater Atlanta.

The other side: Rocket Farm, in a statement issued through its public relations agency, said it was committed to "a safe and fair work environment for all" and added: "We are following up on every accusation to confirm we understand each concern to protect our team. From what we know so far, we can confidently say that many of these points are inaccurate and any concerns we were alerted to were previously addressed."

• "Our team is our family, and we take these matters incredibly seriously. As we actively discuss with our people, we will do everything possible to ensure every voice is heard."
