As the former food director of BA, I didn't do enough to make sure we covered Black cuisine and Black chefs in particular, and BIPOC recipes in general. I accepted the brand's definition of what the "mainstream" food trends were. I spoke up... sometimes. I should have done more.
Contrast with Munchies at VICE - which I'm sure has its own problems - where they regularly feature Black and BIPOC chefs cooking all sorts of cuisines. It's more than possible, especially in NYC of all places
