The co-founder of Noma, several times crowned the best restaurant in the world, Danish chef Rene Redzepi said Thursday that he was stepping down, following reports of past abuse at his fabled restaurant.

"After more than two decades of building and leading this restaurant, I've decided to step away," Redzepi said in an Instagram post.
