Appropriation vs. Appreciation

Who gets to make what food? When does cooking cross the line from culinary appreciation to appropriation of another culture's cuisine? On this episode of The Eagle, a diverse panel of chefs, restaurateurs and culture observers discuss this contentious issue, and how it affects the Capital Region food scene. Also on this episode, reporter Shrishti Mathew talks about anxiety within the local Indian community as they watch a COVID-19 outbreak ravage India from afar. And singer-songwriter Michael Jerling remembers his friend, local music icon Tony Markellis, who died last week.
