    When he eats asian food he talks about how Asians cook this or that it’s Asian owned white about Jewish/Black/Hispanic/Mexican owned and how they love hot oil etc in detail but her never mentions other races food or their style of cooking or history behind it.

      It’s cause he doesn’t actually know. He also thinks he can speak on other/all asian cultures but is sometimes wrong. He would get a larger audience if he had the owner or chef talk abt their background or just by doing research

    When I was growing up in the south, we didn't call it soul food. We just called it food. It was always delicious and wonderful. My grandmother had 10 kids. She pretty much, cooked from sunup to sundown. I learned to cook from her and my mother.

    • @Decade_of_the_Dawg
      @Decade_of_the_Dawg ปีที่แล้ว

      They probably call it soul food because if they called it southern cuisine nobody in Chicago would want to eat it. You're right. That's just average southern food for people of all races in the south.
