I know right! How can people be upset about others borrowing concepts or techniques from other cultures or societies? It's called moving forward. I doubt the Chinese are upset over Italians claiming pasta as their invention.

On another note, thank God there's a white girl to speak on behalf of the entire African American community 😂
 
i would eat the hell out of keller's chicken n waffles, that looks super delicious. probably tastes just as good as one you would get in the ghetto inside a dirty a** diner looking spot that offers wet naps instead of a working bathroom to wash your hands after.
 
I don't know why this bugs me so much. Probably the idiotic concept of cultural appropriation and food gentrification (whatever tf that means). I guess my tolerance for imbeciles isn't what it used to be.

Glad I'm not the only one who believes there's nothing wrong with Keller's chicken and waffles
 
Red Lobster has fried lobster and waffles served with syrup.
 
I don't comment much, but the restaurant she is opening in New London, MN with her partner is an interesting test case. His comment started the whole thing.
"iammodelcitizenWhen black food becomes so popular that you just can’t resist! #gentirfiedfoodporn"

His instagram tag is iammodelcitizen. If you go down his feed (you don't have to go far), you will see lots of interesting stuff. Ravioli, gnochhi, soufles.

"iammodelcitizenHouse Ravi with sweet pots and brown butter, thyme carrot. Carrot and lamb heart tartare! 😍😍 Bring on dessert!!"
"iammodelcitizenWhen you do a stage, get the job with a dish the owner wants to bath in, no recipe, then recreate it! Ahhh! Feels like I am where I need to be! #truecookstreetteam #truecooks #modelcitizen #grandcentralcafe #vindaloocurry #halibut"
"iammodelcitizenFresh batch of #gnocchi in the works! #foodporn #cheflife #modelcitizen"

And the menu from their new restaurant.

Que?!?!

Waffles are Belgian.... Maple syrup is Canadian.... and frying anything isn't exactly a new technique; it was already around for many centuries. I guess the Japanese are also no longer allowed to make tempure because it originated from the Porguguese? :scratchhead:
 
Oh yes. And for the sake of cultural appropriation:
Could you americans please stop using TV, computer and cars? Those where invented by germans and belong to their culture only...

I thought the computer was English.

I don't get it...is it like " I am holier than thou?" Hipster trash....

Sounds like a self righteous prick IMO

Black people and basic white girls should refrain from cooking European-inspired food as it clearly belongs exclusively to the European *sarcasm
 
But ...but...they aren't even Southern! How dare Minnesotans steal Southern culture! I'm so offended right now as a white French Canadian

I bet Keller's is better... Prople are so stupid these days about rascism. Usually, when people are actually being rascist people dont even realize it or say something. Instead, they make stupid comments about stuff like this. One time i said "it would be cool to have a food truck called Fried Chicken & Watermelon.". A black co-worker got so mad and said i was rascist. I was like whatever. I actually had cool dishes based on those two ingredients
 
Funny story...once in South America we were visiting a very small town where some of my girlfriend's family friends are originally from. Being Sunday we had this massive parillada, among the items on the menu grilled chicken. For dessert? Assorted fresh fruits including watermelon! I was dying of laughter telling the folks there that if this were to happen in North America, people would lose their minds. I tried explaining to them what was perceived to be racist about it. Their answer? " *** do black folk and chicken & watermelon have to do with anything?" You see, once you leave the tiny PC bubble that is America, you quickly realize nobody cares about the American perception of racism (that only whites can be racist, among other things). It makes no sense to anyone in any other part of the globe it seems. And black people do not have a monopoly on being treated unfairly they should probably learn to accept this fact.

It wasn’t fried chicken in the original post, it was oven roasted! It was only the commenters who labeled it as fried :)

I couldn’t resist, I clicked on her profile. 540 followers and over 1,000 posts. Recent pics show her in Ireland calling it “homeland” and a pic with a black man and tagged “makeamarriagegreatagain”. Shes just trying to showoff she’s in a bi-racial relationship and is looking to pic a fight online to gain followers/gain fame/gain any form of interaction since no one knows her to begin with lol

I don’t care what ethnicity the dish is originally, what animal/vegetable it comes from, or how it was prepared, if Thomas Keller prepared it, I’m eating it!
 
I think it has more to do with being against "something" to give meaning to yourself. The radical left seems intent on believe they are "woke" and understand something others do not.

There’s been a great deal of poor etiquette in the forums lately. This reckless post actually makes me ashamed of my “Site Supporter” badge. I don’t support careless and inciting commentary like this in the least.
 
Please don't.

HMansion, Hate that you find Panda's post offensive, I don't think this is first time either.

But.

Most don't find it that way. A little on the edge, sure. That's what life in the kitchen will do to (for?) you.

This forum does have an "ignore" feature that allows you to peruse the forum without seeing posts from those you find bothersome. I used the feature for awhile until I exceeded it's limit.:cool2: Maybe that will let you enjoy your participation more.

Pls PM me any additional concerns.

Dave
