Burgertory boss goes into hiding after Caulfield restaurant was firebombed – as GoFundMe attracts horrific comments

The CEO of Burgertory has gone into hiding after one of his restaurants was bombed before protests broke out outside.

Hash Tayeh, who founded Burgertory in 2018, has retreated from the public eye after bursting onto the scene three weeks ago when he was filmed leading a pro-Palestinian march in Melbourne’s CBD.

After the burger boss defended and doubled down on his position, his restaurant in Caulfield was attacked by arsonists before 400 people protested down the street.

Mr Tayeh had previously asked people not to join the protest, saying he feared for the safety of his workers, who had already been threatened with violence.

Now he has one GoFundMe to help rebuild the destroyed Burgertory, which has reignited the issue and drawn horrifying reactions online.
