Learning recipes from travels =/= stealing ffs.

They didn't "learn." They asked for recipes (in broken spanish), they were given a little info but ultimately refused, they peeked in the windows of every burrito shop and took notes, then they came home and bragged about it.

If you wanna be upset about the label of "cultural appropriation" then fine. But don't be a lying troll. "They learned recipes from their travels." Get the fuck out of here with that shit.

whether it was appropriate for chefs to cook ethnic food that wasn’t from their ancestry, such as a Korean chef running a sushi joint, since the cuisine is Japanese;

Seriously? I was just at a sushi place run by a Korean a couple weeks ago. It was fine. Do these people not realize that in most countries 9 tomes out of 10, ethnic food is not cooked by it's ethnicity? Most countries don't have enough foreigners to go around

This shit is getting out of hand, tbqh. People need to spend less time being butthurt and offended over frivolous shit like this. One of my favorite bars when I lived in San Francisco was a tiki bar. If SF, of all goddamned places in this country, doesn't have a problem with something like this...sheesh.\

Unless they were literally breaking and entering or trespassing, this still falls under the category of who gives a shit. Plenty of restaurants have windows into their kitchens specifically so people can look at the food being made.

Lmao American college kids (okay I know it's not ALL of them but just a vocal minority) are the whiniest bunch of people on the planet.

@sylverlolol why did you omit the most important part of my post?

The people they spoke to didn't want to give them the recipe, so the ladies stole it. Then they bragged about stealing it later. So save the bullshit about "some restaurants have windows so people can watch the cooks in action" because it doesn't apply here.
