@demarionunn Why we don’t just hire people who actually know about the food rather than reading about it in comments sections is beyond me… there’s a major gap in the food world when we try to appropriate & rebrand our cultures foods & it’s infuriating to me

This completely overlooks the many cultural cuisines that have a unique history in the US bc of DC— Afghan restaurants have been a staple of the DC food culture & a long-standing history that should be applauded. Sweeping generalizations like this miss out on all those cuisines
