Australian Family Accused of Stuffing Food With Armpit Hair to Avoid $600 Restaurant Bill

A family visiting from Ireland has been accused of attempting a theatrical dine-and-dash at a restaurant in Sydney. According to staff, the group ordered a large amount of food, including a 64 oz. tomahawk steak, and then attempted to leave without paying the $600 bill. The family allegedly stuffed their food with armpit hair in an attempt to avoid paying for their meal.

The incident occurred at Pony, a restaurant in Sydney, on February 16, 2026. The family, who were reportedly from Ireland, ordered a large amount of food and then quickly racked up a bill of around $600. When it came time to pay, they allegedly stuffed their food with armpit hair and attempted to leave without paying.

The restaurant staff became suspicious when they noticed that the family was trying to leave quickly and that their food was covered in what appeared to be armpit hair. They then confronted the family, who denied any wrongdoing.

The incident has sparked outrage on social media, with many people expressing their disgust at the family's actions. The restaurant has since released a statement condemning the family's behavior and thanking their customers for their support.
