#food gatekeeping

Do influencers gatekeep "underrated" cuisines just to seem more cultured than everyone else?

Is “authenticity” in cuisine just another excuse to gatekeep flavors from poor countries?

Is “authentic” cuisine just gatekeeping for tourists who don’t know any better?

Do authentic recipes matter anymore, or is it just old chefs gatekeeping flavor behind "grandma’s secret"?

Do foodies who gatekeep "real" international recipes just hate that immigrants make them better at home?
