One of Daniel's many unpaid tabs seen here on 6/17/22, this one was notably expensive totaling at over $47.66

Dining and Dashing (sometimes referred to as Dan and Dashes) is an phrase that primarily refers to an individual who does not pay for their meal at a restaurant. The act usually involves a patron placing an order, consuming it, and then exiting the establishment or not paying after being presented the bill. Daniel Larson is guilty of doing this on multiple occasions.

This problem arose during the start of Homeless Era, a period of time where Daniel was homeless for almost 3 years. Daniel would order from restaurants knowing he had no money to pay for his tab, and then leave without paying for his meals, post his receipts to his TikTok account in hopes of people paying for his meals, or tell the employees of the establishments that Bob Proctor, a caretaker, or someone else would pay. Daniel failing to pay for these meals often resulted in him having to speak with authorities. Daniel is documented to have dine and dashed from at least over 15+ restaurants.

Many of these restaurants have declined to press charges against him, instead banning him from their locations. However, one restaurant apparently did press charges though, that being a Hard Rock Café located in the 16th Street Mall in Denver, Colorado. The café apparently filed charges of petty theft on May 13, 2022 as seen through Denver County Court Records. The charges were later dropped.

Cheesecake Factory

On July 6th, 2022 a Reddit user interviewed Daniel Larson about his music career. They originally met at Cheesecake Factory for the interview but were kicked out because Daniel had an unpaid tab. Daniel claimed that his caretaker was supposed to pay for this tab.

On January 19, 2023, while at a different Cheesecake Factory in Anaheim, CA Daniel was arrested during a dine and dash attempt. He claimed that a manager told him that he couldn't leave until $100 was paid. Daniel attempted to get fans to donate for his $55.92 bill but apparently was unsuccessful as Daniel later appeared on Anaheim's "who's in jail" search.

The next day, after Daniel was released, he uploaded multiple videos explaining the situation. Daniel claims his original plan was to "have dinner, charge my phone, and go live" as apparently instructed by Ox.

The police informed Daniel that he is not allowed to do this without prior permission from the restaurant. Daniel claims that the restaurant was okay with his stream, but because the restaurant got so busy "out of the blue" and two fans came in, "and caused issues" that is why he was arrested. He has not elaborated on what issues the two fans caused. Daniel claims that his check was eventually paid for by "a fan, who is also my lawyer" though Daniel still received a "defrauding an innkeeper" charge as well as a $950 fine.




Daniel admitting to dine and dashing

On January 31st, 2024 Daniel admitted to dine and dashing via TikTok. In one of the TikTok's, he revealed that he robbed at least $50,000 from restaurants from dine and dashing. It's very debatable whether this part is true or not considering Daniel's math skills. Some people do believe that he could've dine and dashed $50,000 worth of food considering each meal would likely cost between $20-50, and that Daniel has done this nonstop. Daniel confessed to dining and dashing almost everyday, three times a day for the past four years. This is also high debated because doing this for four years, and only having a dozen or so restaurants ban you seems highly unlikely. If he really has dine and dashed 3 meals a day/365 days a year, that equals around 1,095 meals. This is over 4,380 meals in a four year time span. Even if it was just every couple of days, it would still equate to 2,496 meals a year. This ratio would be 208 which is why it is believed that DL is wrong about robbing $50,000 dollars worth of food during this four year time period.
