Chefâs Table seemed to acknowledge the apparent discrepancy in the rankings for Houston and San Antonio, noting: âBoth cities are well known for their amazing food culture, which may have something to do with this bad overall rating,â the magazine said.
But many werenât having it.
âThis must be a joke,â said Texas politician Julián Castro, who tweeted a photo of a map from the Chefâs Table article highlighting the âtop citiesâ to which there is no Texas representation.
California Representative Ted Lieu also took issue with the rankings.
âIâm from California where we put Kimchi on our BBQ, and even I know this map is wrong. Newark? Really?â Lieu tweeted.
The California Democrat retweeted an image of his GOP colleague appearing to help barricade the House Chamber as Trump supporters attacked the Capitol on January 6.

Kolkata– Attacks against people of Asian descent aren’t new in the history of the US, but recent spike in anti-Asian incidents post-Covid, panelists at a recent online seminar organised by top American think tank East-West Centre argued.
The context of the post-Covid violence against Asians is more worrying, Representative Ted Lieu told attendees at the ‘EWC Live: Asian Americans Unsilenced’ online seminar, covered by IANS.
With the numbers of anti-Asian attacks projected to grow, other panelists speaking at the seminar called for more activism and collaborations with other ethnic groups.
The issue of anti-Asian hate is getting attention “from the very highest level of our government”, Lieu said, adding: “I think we’re in a different political environment. I think you’re seeing the political awakening of the Asian American community.”
Ever since the 2020 Presidential Elections concluded, Cheney is one of the only Republicans to publicly denounce Trump s lies that the election was stolen. The GOP though has widely embraced the theory and is now on the warpath to eliminate anyone who disagrees with them. Cheney s vote is the most high-profile case so far and it is clear she has no qualms about splitting with the party.

Representative Ted Lieu has condemned former Attorney General Bill Barr who faces claims that the Justice Department he used to head provided misleading advice over whether to charge ex-President Donald Trump with obstruction of justice.
Federal Judge Amy Berman Jackson ordered the Justice Department to turn over a memo from March 2019 that Barr had cited as the reason for not charging Trump following the investigation by former special counsel Robert Mueller into claims of Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. election.
