[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]

Yes, but they all respect the food. What upsets others is that she doesn't seem to actually even care about the food or the culture. She doesn't learn about the people enough to even pronounce it correctly. The NYT article even states that she dreams up the look of the dish first and works backward from that.

Honestly, she'd be a better food stylist than a recipe blogger. Good food stylists are very sought after. I have a relative who is a food stylist and she's always on the go from one location to the next for jobs.

Luckily HBH created her empire before the world became more attuned to recognizing cultural appropriation and calling it out. If she was just starting out, she wouldn't make it to be as successful as she is now. You're allowed one snafu with critics where you can apologize and promise to do better. Make a second snafu and you're canceled for good. [/quote]
