[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It feel like if we are going to start blaming cooks for cultural appropriation, that’s really troubling.  Should rick Baylee’s close frontera grill?  Should Jose Andres close santinya?  Should Julia Childs not have mastered the art of French cooking?  All people do is appropriate other culture/‘ foods.  That’s how great food is made.  [/quote]

I agree with you, but also see the other side. I mean, Bobby Flay, a New Yorker of Irish descent, went to a culinary school teaching traditional (French) techniques and wound up the king of southwestern cuisine. I think the thing with him though, is that he actually learned and became an authority. He knows chiles and such better than a lot of people who grew up in Mexico or New Mexico. The accusation that HBH is not actually learning, just espousing stereotypes or things she believes to be true (tacos with pineapple are "Hawaiian") and thus her ignorance is trickling down to her followers who then believe the same. She's spreading misinformation. [/quote]
