i scrolled passed this several times before actually reading it. i’m not used to two white men talking sense…

Alton Brown is no fucking joke a legend. 

Alton Brown definitely is a Culinary genius. I go to Culinary school and on assignments where I studied Southern cuisine I made a serious point to call it Soul Food or Black Southern Cuisine and emphasize that it’s entirely rooted in the black culture and slavery. I will never let ppl forget it is black people who educated white Americans to cook. There is a lot of of culture appropriation and whitewashing even in Culinary and they will have you believe whites are the masters of Southern food and Korean BBQ I swear ta gawd. 

I love both of these chefs

“Not used to two white people talking sense” 😂😂

THIS is how you do it. I love cooking shows, but I regularly have to turn off or change channel from entitled white dudes shovelling shit talking about black food or Indian food or Asian food without talking about slavery or colonialism, or doing so only using euphemisms wreathed in ‘glory days’ white supremacy. YOU CAN SAY BLACK. YOU CAN SAY SLAVERY. BY NOT DOING SO, YOU’RE ERASING THE ORIGINS OF THE FOOD YOU CLAIM YOU LOVE SO YOU CAN STOMACH IT WITHOUT FOR A MOMENT CONSIDERING YOUR PART IN THAT SYSTEMIC VIOLENCE.
