00:00Recently it came out on social media and in the press that you had an incident at a Ruth's
00:07Chris restaurant where you were denied entry or access. Can you share anything with us? I mean

00:23wasn't nice at all and we came in after the Chicago Gospel Fest which I was you know a
00:28guest of and they looked at our attire and told us that we could not be served
00:34because we didn't have on business casual attire okay but when I look through the
00:38restaurant you know a lot of people were dressed as I was dressed and you know
00:43they turned us away and you know some other things transpired through that but
00:47you know you live and you learn you know I guess I've eaten a Ruth Chris before

01:04from them but we're still talking directly to them and you know hopefully we can
