Seems like the Hamptons chic eatery where the likes of late convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and convicted rapist Harvey Weinstein used to chow down in style with their respective female companions has decided to end the memory of these two perverts by burning the table in which they dined.
The restaurant in question is the upscale 75 Main in Southampton and the owner is Zach Erdem. On Saturday, Erdem publicly destroyed the table with an axe and then burned it with patrons watching and chanting, “Burn, Epstein, Burn.”
According to a NY Post report, Erdem said, “I need to burn this f-king table. I’m sick of the bad energy at this table.”
A Miami native who was visiting the Hamptons, toasted the roast. “I think that sends a strong statement.”
Epstein died last August while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges at the Manhattan Correctional Center in lower Manhattan. Many speculate that his death under highly suspicious circumstances was that of a suicide while others opine that he was intentionally murdered as he “knew too” much” and could have implicated other high profile people who were involved in sex with underage girls.
According to the Post report, Epstein would frequent 75 Main for about three years. The eatery appears to be a favorite of such celebrities as Leonardo DiCaprio and Kim Kardashian.
Erdem recalls his experiences with Epstein and noticed his odd behavior. “Every time, every week or two, he would come with three or four girls,” Erdem told the Post.
Erdem said that in one instance, Epstein was so impatient to be seated at his favorite table that he pulled out $1500 from his wallet in order to pay the bill of the party of people who were occupying the table at the exact moment that he and his harem of young girls wanted to make use of it.
“Get them out of my table,” ordered Epstein.
“It was the first time I saw someone pay a table to take them out,” Erdem told the Post.
Erdem, 39. recalls that the girls that Epstein brought to his restaurant were “the sexiest girls in the house.” He added, “I knew something was wrong. I thought these girls were his kids but then when I saw all the drinking and partying going on, I knew they were not.”
The manager of 75 Main, Ioana Rosu, told the Post that Epstein once asked her to bring champagne to his table for the girls and would give her “hands full” of money to take care of his table. She told Epstein that according to the law she could not serve champagne to anyone under the age of 21.
Epstein was once confronted by someone who chided him for fraternizing with underage girls and Epstein retorted that they were all over the age of 18 and he ad the girls take out their IDs. He then frowned at Erdem and said he would pay for the man and his party’s dinner bill just to get them out of the restaurant.
Erdem told the Post he had no clue what kind of business Epstein was in as he never discussed it.
“I didn’t know what he had done. I thought he was a womanizer like everyone else, ” Erdem told the Post.
Erdem added that Epstein’s favorite table was also Harvey Weinstein’s favorite table as well.
