I follow them on insta and saw some white mans mea culpa they posted the other day. Kind of made my stomach turn

Basically even though he is a prominent voice keeping southern food alive (and even growing its appeal and telling its true story) he’s the white devil

I guess Vivian Howard is next? She cooks collard greens with a black lady who is the house cook for a white man, after all. Can't have that.

This! Like I said before I LOATHE his writing style, but the stuff he highlights is next level and actually shows a full picture of the South. How many people would figure to go to Alabama and highlight a Greek community, or come to Shreveport and highlight a Chinese restaurant.... and they are all part of the southern culinary landscape. He went out of his way to host a dinner between black BBQ owners and a Peruvian who cooked out of a gas station...at the damn gas station.... if that's not painting a full and inclusive picture of the South, I don't know what is.... but he's white so....
