Aug 24 (Reuters) - A Las Vegas restaurant whose parent is led by Michelin-starred chef Thomas Keller was sued on Thursday by a U.S. government agency, which accused managers of sexually harassing female and male employees on a daily basis.
Keller's company, Thomas Keller Restaurant Group, is also a defendant.
The EEOC filed its lawsuit in federal court in Las Vegas.
It also filed three other sexual harassment lawsuits on Thursday against restaurants in the Las Vegas area.
The EEOC said the misconduct at Bouchon included sexual advances, sexually charged comments and unwanted advances, primarily by men.
