ATLANTA - Online food personality Darius "Cooks" Williams may have violated multiple short-term rental rules plus a city ordinance when he hosted a paid event last month in Atlanta.

This comes one month after a Vrbo homeowner in Texas called police to have Williams removed when she realized what he was really doing in her home.

Williams, 40, charges $215 each for a seven-course meal he prepares and serves to customers in various cities around the country. The price is due to rise to $289 next year.

He pushes the events through his social media pages, some of which claim more than 1 million followers.

But his Atlanta-based company DariusCooks has been the subject of numerous complaints from customers who say they did not get what they paid for.
