Wokeness is a dish better never served — but it’s taking over restaurant criticism world

By Steve Cuozzo

August 26, 2020

The Hollywood Oscars went woke not too long ago, and now, so have the so-called Oscars of the Food World — the James Beard Foundation’s annual restaurant and chef awards. Identity-politics lunacy now rules the venerable organization once devoted to celebrating the great American bounty.

The JBF stunned foodies last week when it announced it wouldn’t announce its award winners for 2020, supposedly due to the disruptive impact of the pandemic. But New York Times restaurant critic Pete Wells this week uncovered the main reason: Although some black chefs were nominated, there was none among the 23 unidentified winners.

Never mind that Beard winners are chosen in polls conducted among thousands of food specialists all over the nation.

The JBF won’t name any winners in 2021, either, to allow the foundation to conduct “a comprehensive internal and external review to address any bias” and to “align the awards” with “equity and diversity,” according to a news release.

The joys of food and cooking no longer matter much in establishment perceptions of the culinary arts. Good luck trying to learn how to tell one tomato from another. The discourse increasingly resembles a college curriculum built on “intersectionality” and the evils of American capitalism.

It’s worse: The JBF will tap an “outside social-justice agency” to help it eliminate “systemic bias.”

The JBF went into a tailspin after it named Clare Reichenbach as its new chief executive in 2018. British-born Reichenbach admitted having no culinary background beyond her home kitchen, a curious choice to head up the distinctly American institution founded by James Beard, the original celebrant of great American cuisine.

Yet the JBF is hardly alone in embracing the woke catechism. Eater.com recently posted a “socially conscious shopper’s guide” to coffee and tea and noted, “Our daily cup owes everything to our colonial, slave-built economy.”

San Francisco Chronicle restaurant critic Soleil Ho banned from her vocabulary any number of innocuous words that might be taken as “microaggressions” — for example, “addictive” for anything delicious, because it might somehow offend minorities for who knows why.

The most unforgivable sin is “cultural appropriation.” If you’re a non-Guatemalan who dares to cook Guatemalan, you’re dead meat.

Last year, the well-meaning, non-Chinese owner of a small Chinese cafe downtown saw her career ruined by the woke mob. Eater.com accused her of “racist positioning” over the wording of an ad about lo mein. The Twitter mob piled on. Her apologies weren’t enough to save the restaurant.

The editor of Conde Nast title Bon Appetit was forced out this year over a 16-year-old photo that purportedly showed him wearing “brownface” at Puerto Rican-themed costume party. He denied he had altered his face color, but a staff mutiny sealed his fate.

The mob next struck the mag’s popular test-kitchen video site over a pattern of “cultural insensitivity” that allegedly included underpaying nonwhite contributors. Heads rolled. Bon Appetit’s new digital restaurant editor writes that it isn’t enough to talk about “the intersectionality of food, politics, race, class and gender” only when it’s “convenient.” Intersectionality must be made a primary theme.

The great chef Thomas Keller was excommunicated for calling it an “honor” to be named to the White House’s Economic Council for Restaurants, formed to support the coronavirus-ravaged industry. There was much chortling when the pandemic forced him to close his Hudson Yards restaurant TAK Room. While Grub Street critic Ryan Sutton was careful not to cheer its demise, which caused “scores of hardworking people .?.?. losing their livelihoods,” he wrote that it “shouldn’t have opened in the first place.”

Chefs who are in vogue tend to be political and racial provocateurs. New Orleans-based Tunde Wey, whose stunts have included charging white customers twice as much as nonwhites, recently posted an Instagram essay in which he rooted for the death of the whole restaurant industry for its “racist” practices.

GQ magazine published a flattering profile of Wey in 2019. The article won an award this year for best media profile from — guess where! — the James Beard Foundation. From now on, chefs and people who simply love great food without political axes to grind are just chopped liver.

Kerrisdale Capital's Long Thesis for Yelp

Full Summary of Long Thesis on YELP

Yelp

Recently retained a long position in Yelp
With over 127 million reviews and nearly 200 million unique monthly visitors, Yelp is a leading and unique local search and review site
Due to higher than expected customer churn, management reset expectations for 2017 on its latest earnings call – sent shares down 28% after-hours to below $25/share (34% decline in enterprise value)
Considered the price action a gross overreaction to the lowered guidance
Revised forecast gave us the opportunity to buy shares at 2x LTM revenue, 13x LTM EBITDA and 16x LTM FCF
Very unique asset and believe its brand, breadth of content and popularity would be extremely difficult to replicate
While there’s a perception of Yelp as being a restaurant/bars only review site, that category represents only 18% of reviews and even less so in terms of revenue
For other businesses, such as a local dental office or a fitness center, understanding the value proposition of advertising on Yelp is easier for a variety of reasons
Nearby competitors are fewer, each customer review is more valuable for the client since less reviews are provided for non-restaurant businesses, etc
Being at the top of Yelp searches is similar to the need to be on the first page of Google results
In recent years, Yelp has introduced other features on the site such as Eat24 (competes with Grubhub) and Yelp Reservations, an alternative to OpenTable that allows customers to make reservations directly on the Yelp site and app
Popularity is undoubtedly growing as transaction related revenues grew 28% in the last 12 months
Further engaging user base, increasing the value of the platform to both the local businesses and users
Has the potential to grow well beyond its current base of 143,000 customers
Will grow top-line by 20% in 2017 and sell-side calls for ~$1.2B of revenue by 2019, representing a CAGR of 18%
Applying a 3x revenue or 20x FCF multiple on 2019 revenue/FCF yields nearly $45/share, implying more than 60% upside
Also believe that Yelp has significant strategic value and in that scenario, shares would be worth meaningfully more

Oversold buy by goldman Sachs

[young rick]

Yelp is going down after market!!!

[ValueInvestor15]

Aegis initiated coverage on Yelp at Buy and set a $47 per share price target. The price target is generally supported by the company's fundamentals:

Analysis

[maxgreen]

Sell two ATM options (call and put), buy 2 OTM options (both put options) and the stock.
This strategy could make you up to 7-8% in a few days.
What do you think about it?
Expiration date is tomorrow, today the company is going to announce its earnings...
The overall strategy is right here: http://bit.ly/050516YELP

You still shorting this? I can see that on the weekly but the daily looks like a long opportunity...at least short-term.

Jeremy (the CEO) knew what he was doing when he was dumping his stock at the legal limit for months on end. This stock is a train wreck. Now the CFO has quit. YELP seems to be in big trouble.

Need to watched. Will run hard

[pkdaddy64]

I am a paid Advertiser with Yelp, for $575.00 payment per month they promised to help grow my companies revenues by placing my Paid Ad at spot number 1. On page 1 around 1005 times per month, here is where their business model is faulty (I no longer pay them any money and have had my paid Ad removed pet my request) consider this, my Ad goes the page 1 spot 1. Beautiful right? No way! The Ad only stays there for 3 seconds before it is placed back into what is termed " Natural search", I check 1 zip code in Rockville, MD 20850 after page 117 under search term "A/C Repair" I gave up looking any further. What is the likely hood that a consumer's air conditioning or heater breaks down within that 3 second window of opportunity. That means that once they decide to look on yelp for a repair company during that time element my Ad would need to be on spot 1, now the math of this ever happening is no different than one of us buying at the exact timing of the bottom of a stock and selling at the exact top. How often does this happen? It even gets worse, but my fingers are getting cramped typing on my smart phone so just take it from me so far, I have filed a compliant with BBB and Consumercompliants.Gov (recommended by the FTC). I am seeking a class action lawsuit with the same attorney who did the last class action lawsuit against Yelp in 2014. If there are ant other business owners here who would like to partake of this lawsuit just email me at "[e-mail]"

[En2style]

Yelp!!!

[KingDMC]

That's insane. How are they still in business?

[overachiever]

YELP HAS A STUPID BUSINESS MODEL. They tick off a large segment of their potential customer base. Unless they can control the phony reviews written by the cottage industry that has sprung up to leach off the small business owners, most of those owners would rather see them bankrupt rather than give them a penny in advertising money.

[overachiever]

YELP needs to get it's act together. They need to control all of the fake reviews by the phony "reputation management firms" and "SEO" companies. It just ticks off the business owners who then have no interest in advertising with YELP.

[overachiever]

Jeremy is still making tons of money here. He sells 8000 shares a week to all of the suckers.

[Cheetah SPEED]

What a drop

[KingDMC]

Every quarter the same damn thing. They'll send this to penny land at this rate omg. Is this a failing company or something!!?? My boy just quit yelp and went elsewhere.
