A plaque honoring the very booth where Nvidia was born inside a Silicon Valley Denny's restaurant has been taken down after the CEO's affairs were revealed.

The Denny's on Berryessa Drive in San Jose once held a plaque that read: 'The booth that launched a $1 trillion company. Congrats Nvidia! Who knew that an idea started here would change the world?'

But on Thursday evening, the honorary plaque was taken down, an employee confirmed to SF Gate. The employee did not reveal the reason it was taken down.

It comes after Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's extramarital affairs were exposed, including one where he allegedly was romantically involved with a Chinese spy.

Denny's gave Huang his first job at 15, where he worked as a dishwasher and busboy, and would be the place he and his co-founders would eventually come up with the idea for the technology company that would go on to become an important factor in the artificial intelligence boom.

Colton Grace, a Denny's spokesperson, told the Daily Mail that the plaque will go back up.

'We’re reinstalling the plaque recognizing the conversations at Denny’s that helped launch NVIDIA,' he said in a statement.

'Jensen Huang started at Denny’s as a dishwasher. Years later, he and his co-founders gathered in one of our booths to discuss the idea that became Nvidia. The plaque commemorates that shared history.
