this is so nuts there are a bunch of women getting punched in the face in nyc rn all over tiktok. i don’t know if it’s all the same guy some of the stories seem slightly different but some of them seem similar
ok i finally watched the menu cuz i was avoiding it because i was scared it would trigger me as someone who used to be married to a well known chef and was invited to noma a few times but it reminded me of one dining experience i want to share cuz its so the menu-esque 🧵
we were invited to noma a few times usually during the summer for the restaurant symposium they had there i forgot what it was called. i always hated going cuz it made me feel so awkward being around rich people cuz i was a poor so i decided to smoke a shit ton of weed before

white people love ordering something that’s meant to be eaten with rice without rice and then waking up the next day not being able to open their eyes because of sodium bloat and being like why is korean food so salty like you ate enough kimchi jjigae for a family of 5 martha
you’re not supposed to eat mapo tofu by itself ???

not to sound snobby but i’m fluent in korean and i watched squid game with english subtitles and if you don’t understand korean you didn’t really watch the same show. translation was so bad. the dialogue was written so well and zero of it was preserved
i want to do a scene breakdown on tiktok to show you what they could’ve translated to i might work on it today just so you can see what i mean and see what you missed. such a shame. translation is extremely important.

version because they were immigrants and had to cater to racist white peoples palettes (a lot of who were the parents of formerly mentioned rich white male chefs) and then the authentic rich white men made entire careers around how shitty “american” ethnic food is

as mission manhattan comes to an end, i have a lot of emotions but i have to say something publicly that i have been holding back. in 2017, we hired an HR company because we heard rumors about a kitchen staff member sexualy harassing and abusing other employees.
after an investigation, HR found out that not only had this employee been abusing multiple female staff members, but the person who hired him, who was his close friend, had been hiding this information for months. The person who hid all this information, was Angela Dimayuga.
