Top LA Restaurant Turns to Twitter to Name 'No-Show Assholes' Who Don't Honor Their Reservations

Red Medicine, a top-shelf Vietnamese fusion eatery in Beverly Hills known for stirring shit up, is back to racking up gossip inches with its latest stunt: Naming and shaming customers who don't honor their reservations.

After losing a bunch of "prime tables" to no-shows on Saturday, owner/operator Noah Ellis took his frustration to Twitter, where he proceeded to tweet out the names of those who booked a table for rush hour, but never bothered to come or cancel.

"Invariably, the assholes who decide to no-show, or cancel 20 minutes before their reservation (because one of their friends made a reservation somewhere else) ruin restaurants (as a whole) for the people who make a reservation and do their best to honor it," Ellis told Eater LA.

Hey I don't blame the owner in this case - the no shows are definitely assholes.

He likes to make up slightly silly names.
