WILLIAMSBURG — FOOD INFLUENCER PEI Chung, 34, has been jailed at Rikers after allegedly repeatedly dining at upscale restaurants and refusing to pay, the Guardian reports. Her apparent latest attempt ended Friday at Mole in Brooklyn, where staff recognized her and called the police. She was arraigned on theft-of-services charges and held on $4,500 bail tied to multiple warrants.

Chung – dubbed the “dine-and-dash diva” – allegedly hit at least seven restaurants, including Michelin-starred Francie, where she is accused of twice running up large tabs that she did not pay for.

Chung also posted glowing Instagram reviews of meals at Peter Luger steakhouse before reportedly admitting she couldn’t pay and offering household items from her handbag instead.
