In 2021, Bartmann’s hospitality company, behind eight Twin Cities restaurants, including Tiny Diner and Red Stag Supperclub, reached a settlement of $230,000 to pay back wages and overtime for its workers.

Former employees and social media users, meanwhile, felt that Bartmann’s nomination for “outstanding hospitality,” a category focused not on an individual chef or restaurant, but the business backing them, violated the James Beard Award code of ethics, which lists “stealing of wages or tips” as a disqualifier.
