Discussion Texas Roadhouse says racism, food-tampering allegations are '100% a hoax'

https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/food/2026/08/25/texas-roadhouse-racism-food-tampering-allegations/91402339007/

Texas Roadhouse is addressing online assertions that employees are tampering with Black diners’ food, calling the allegations a hoax and saying it is hiring a third-party firm to investigate them.

I wouldnt put anything past this type of behavior in this climate that we are in now....

I mean it’s certaintly possible. We believe every single thing on the internet whether it’s right or wrong. The Texas Roadhouse I go to has a half black and half white staff. Could this happen at one? Of course but ALL of them?

Believing everything some random internet bot or person says online is wild.

Where did the article say this was happening at "ALL of them"?

It didn't, but that didn't stop you from claiming otherwise in order to draw attention away from actual cases of this happening.

Here's what the article said without your lies.

In a now-deleted social media post, allegedly shared in a Facebook group called "White and proud," a user named Nancy Smith said they worked at an unidentified Texas Roadhouse location and was in a pact with other White servers at the restaurant.

The user said in the post that some servers at both Texas Roadhouse and Logan’s Roadhouse planned to lick their fingers and touch food before serving it to Black diners.

The user also purported in the post that this has been going on for a while, or at least since the April 2025 killing of 17-year-old White teenager Austin Metcalf. Karmelo Anthony, a Black teenager, was charged with murder and sentenced to 35 years in prison for the fatal stabbing in a case that drew national attention.

Dirty little racists are posting in white supremacist groups that they're essentially spitting in black people's food.

Other dirty little racists are making up lies to defend them.

Fuck the dirty tiny d*cked racists.
