Coined in 1968 by Yuji Ichioka and Emma Gee, the term “Asian American” is a marker of collectivism. Its inception is inseparable from the founding of the Asian American Political Alliance, which aimed to unite Asian American voices. Prior to the invention of this phrase, Asian Americans were simply identified by their ethnic subgroup or broadly by obtuse and racist terms. The organization of various subgroups under the banner of “Asian American” worked to centralize and amplify Asian American activist power. Now in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic and ongoing targeted bigotry, this sense of collectivism is crucial.

We used to share news about local chefs appearing on food television competitions and shows often here at Bites, but danged if there aren’t just a whole lot of them now! However, when a local hero actually wins a month-long cooking competition involving some of the most notable celebrity chefs in America, that’s still pretty newsworthy.
And that’s exactly what happened over the weekend, when chef Maneet Chauhan was crowned as the winner of Food Network’s Second Tournament of Champions, rising as the cream above a roster of chefs that included James Beard winners and Iron Chefs like Amanda Freitag, brothers Bryan and Michael Voltaggio, Jet Tila, Antonia Lofaso, Cat Cora and last season’s defending champion, Brooke Williamson.
