Racial equity in food does not only mean access to healthy food and veggies! It means asking the question: “who do we center on our platforms, who is celebrated, and who consistently has access to maneuver all of the spaces”. I think I was struck by this most recently when watching The Final Table on @netflix . Out of the 24 culinary masters selected and the judges selected, only 1 chef was actually visibly black - and he went out on the 2nd round for cooking with “too much flavor”. And out of the countries they visited, not ONE was a country that represented some form of international black culture. :
Who are the people that get to decide who is the best?
Who decides who’s an “up and coming chef”? What cuisines do we center as classic cuisines and how do we make space for other cultures and other people??
