Sting Causes a Stir in Restaurant  7/21/07

Rocker Sting stunned staff at a Miami restaurant by taking along his own chef to cook his meal, according to reports.

The Police star insisted on his personal chef preparing his meal in the kitchen of posh eaterie Casa Tua in Miami Beach.

A source tells British newspaper, The Sun, "It was amazing - Casa Tua is one of the best places in town. It has some fantastic chefs and Sting brings his own person to cook. No one would believe it.

"Apparently his people booked ahead and said staff would cook for his friends but not for him."

Restaurant owner Michele Gredene says he could not comment, but did not deny the incident.

Earlier this week (17Jul07), Sting and wife Trudie Styler were ordered to pay #24,944 ($49,888) to their former chef by a British employment tribunal.

Jane Martin claimed she was forced to work 14 hour days while pregnant and Styler was not sympathetic when she experienced sickness early in her pregnancy.
