Chefs' Awards Cancelled Because Winners are the Wrong Race
Wed Aug 26, 2020 Daniel Greenfield
The beatings will continue until morale improves and utopia is achieved.
That's a little snippet from a New York Times story on the cancellation of the James Beard awards for chefs because the black nominees never made it to the finals.
The James Beard Foundation’s declaration last week that it would not announce the winners of this year’s major restaurant and chef awards startled Blake Spalding and Jen Castle, the two chefs who own Hell’s Backbone Grill & Farm in Boulder, Utah.
The week before, Ms. Spalding and Ms. Castle had taped a short video at the foundation’s request in which they pretended to accepted the award they had been nominated for, Best Chef Southwest. Told to give a 30-second acceptance speech, they thanked their employees, then clapped and laughed for 90 seconds, as if they had just won.
