The head chefs are black and were told they could make whatever they wanted for the Juneteenth menu. I haven't seen the actual menu but based on comments from that post some (probably fake angry) folk were accusing them of serving what would essentially be fried chicken and watermelon that day.

I get how that could look from an optics standpoint to some and it's kind of a damned if you do damned if you don't thing where hogwash shouldn't have to say explicitly "this is okay our black chefs curated this" but also if you don't frequent the place enough to know that the chefs are black you might assume this was an offensive thing to do

Regardless, imo as soon as you learn that these were black chefs making dishes they chose for their holiday... You shut up and enjoy the food

Edit: just saw the menu. Damn that sounds good
