A former employee of Cookbook Market in Larchmont Village, a market and cafe known for its fresh produce and curated home goods selection, has filed a lawsuit against Cookbook Market LLC, Cooking Through the Book LLC, and Joint Venture Restaurant Group LLC – the latter of which runs the popular Jon & Vinny’s restaurants in Los Angeles – alleging discrimination on the basis of race and sex and wrongful termination. Shatoya Allen, the former employee, alleges that a store manager sent her home early for a shift and then called the police on her for shopping in the store after she clocked out. Allen also alleges that the manager fired her for “insubordination” the next morning when she turned up for her shift.
