Gordon Ramsay defends new restaurant in cultural appropriation row
Restaurateur’s response criticised as being dismissive of Asian critic’s Lucky Cat review
Gordon Ramsay has hit back against accusations of cultural appropriation at his new “authentic Asian” restaurant after an east Asian food writer described it as “a real life Ramsay kitchen nightmare”.
In a review of a preview event for Lucky Cat this week, the food writer Angela Hui said that she was “the only east Asian person in a room full of 30-40 journalists and chefs”.
