One problem that we may have, however, is that we don t amplify that assertion enough.
and I m speaking about me specifically) don t do enough of the day-to-day work informing people about the treasures found at restaurants that identify as Asian. It s easy to say that Asian restaurants don t pay for the kind of PR that higher-profile restaurants get, and thus they re not on our radar as often. But it s more about general unfamiliarity with regionality, nuance, and context. It s about the idea that writers tend to write about what they know.Â
In short, I can do better talking about all kinds of food, and certainly about what we think of as Asian food.Â
