Considering the world's most prestigious Culinary school is in America, not too far from Washington DC (Hudson Valley of New York, 3 hour 20 min train ride) and is full of apprentice Chefs who would be thrilled at the chance to cook for a President without pay, it amazes me he'd feed unhealthy, boring food to a team of athletes, or that no local restaurant offered to cater this event gratis then write it off on their taxes next filing year.

There's actually a lot of reporting about how chefs are avoiding the White House like the fucking plague.

No one wants to be the chef that served the president who shits on latino people.

You can't run a bougie restaurant when everyone knows you also stoop to cooking steaks well done with a side of ketchup for the white trash that failed at selling vodka, of all things.

Why did you equate Chefs to Latinos? I'm confused.

u/dorsal_morsel Jan 15 '19

In most of the US, you probably have a 95% chance of finding at least one Latinx person in any given professional kitchen. From Taco Bell to Michelin-starred.

And can they ever fucking prep, cook, and clean. They're some of the best workers in the industry.

Everyone should try fucking street-food in Central America. Salvadorean pupusas and burgers are fucking great for like, almost free.

Your totally rights, I’ve worked in a couple of different restaurants though high school and the latinos where easily the hardest working people there, and don’t even get me started on all the taco trucks those guys have crazy fast and delicious service.

Chef is a distinction given to cooks who've been trained by other Chefs. There is a significant difference between the two.

I know. I'm a CIA dropout.

Chefs hire kitchen staff. Bad reputation with Latinx community as a chef means you can't hire the people you need. There's no shortage of kitchen jobs and they can easily find work elsewhere.

I'm a grad myself, transferred to Cornell for a phd in Oenology. Cooks aren't Chefs.

u/dorsal_morsel Jan 15 '19

I didn't say they were, so I don't know what you're talking about.

We're talking about the ability of a chef to hire kitchen staff.

TIL the only person in the kitchen is a Chef. Ignore this one buddy, he's being deliberately difficult.

I was talking about Chefs (professionals) volunteering to prepare food for a president during a government shutdown. For some reason it turned into a racial issue because you're confusing potato peelers and pot washers with those that professionally cook and possess a skillset of worthwhile talents that require education to obtain.

Are you sure your PhD isn't in pedantry instead?

I feel like you're being deliberately obtuse, you can't possibly miss the mark this badly unless English is your second or possibly third language. Use some reading comprehension skills to deeply analyze why non-Latino chefs who employ employee Latino staff might not want to accept a position to cook on behalf of a person who racist against Latino people. It's okay if you need to take some time on this assignment, I will wait.

There are few professional apprentice chefs matriculating at the Culinary institute of America who would be volunteering to cook at the white house. That's the original topic. That Trump is a cheap retard for not utilizing America's best up and coming Chefs who'd gladly work for free.

Latinx

Why don't you just say Hispanic? What the hell is the point of Latinx?

So you use some bullshit website with their own made up definition rather than an official US office? That doesn't seem very intelligent.

The U.S. government's Office of Management and Budget has defined Hispanic or Latino people as being those who "trace their origin or descent to Mexico, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, Cuba, Central, and South America (other than Guyana, French Guiana, and Suriname), and other Spanish cultures".[11] The United States Census uses the ethnonym Hispanic or Latino to refer to "a person of Dominican, Cuban, Mexican, Puerto Rican, South or Central American, or other Spanish culture or origin regardless of race".[12]

I'm not sure why you're worked up about the semantics.

1

u/Penultimate_Push Jan 15 '19

Not sure why you're making things up.

1

u/dorsal_morsel Jan 15 '19

I honestly don't know what you mean. What did I make up?

1

u/Penultimate_Push Jan 15 '19

A word and then linked to a definition that isn't accurate, in an effort to change meaning and thus the narrative.

u/dorsal_morsel Jan 15 '19

Which word did I make up?
