It’s hard to miss Epilogue Kitchen and Cocktails when walking through Salem’s downtown district. Taped to its windows are tons of signs, some of them handmade. They read: “Black Lives Matter,” and, “No Place For Hate.”
SALEM, Ore. —
That’s where she posted two videos of her late June encounter with staff at Epilogue. In one of them, two employees repeatedly ask Wolf to leave. One points to the vaccines-required sign, and they ask why Wolf decided to violate that boundary by coming inside and arguing with staff anyway. Jones said about 75 fake reservations were booked online within a week — made under names like “Let’s go Brandon,” a conservative code for an insult to President Joe Biden. Epilogue received hundreds of prank phone calls and hateful voicemails; Jones said he had to tell staff to stop answering the phone, so only he would have to bear the brunt of the hate.
Jones said he and his wife opened the restaurant about 12 years ago to express themselves creatively through food and art. Since its beginnings, Jones said, Epilogue has suffered racist graffiti and violent attacks. Much of this has been recorded on a restaurant security camera and posted to Epilogue’s Instagram account.
Salem Mayor Chuck Bennet and City Councilor Chris Hoy, who’s slated to become the next mayor, didn’t respond to requests for comment.
