no need to. keep saying the truth.
I’m sure he didn’t create this controversy on purpose, but I predict it ultimately will be good for Lucky Cricket.
I guess he'll get fired for expressing his opinion . Wonder how many Chinese critics blasted a McDonalds .
I’m with him on this one.
Wtf leave Andrew alone!
“Guy with a culturally insensitive show apologizes for culturally insensitive comment”
And now, the rich, white man, who lives in an all-white neighborhood has the audacity to appropriate Chinese culture (after mocking their food) by opening a Chinese restaurant....just so he can turn a profit & add to his millions. I don't see how this place can remain open.
I guess I missed the issue completely...I’m sorry but I honestly don’t see anything for him to address, clarify or apologize for...
The winner of the “Non-Story-of-the-Day!”
Oh just get over yourselves.
This is the spineless, weak America we have created, where a food critic, can’t even critique. Sad.
Stop apologizing for everything .... and STOP being offended by everything
Rules are rules. Let him file a complaint with the airline.
Apologies offend me.
Anthony Bourdain Andrew Zimmern
This is like getting offended on behalf of American cuisine when people say McDonald's is shit.
It's not like he called someone a smelly yellow chink
An apology won't buy you a cup of coffee anywhere.
Wouldn't you want your food made by an elitist? Isn't that why we pay more to go to elite restaurants? Lol
He should be sorry there are so many emotionally weak people in the world -
2018: if you say nothing nice to say, say nothing at all. Because we are all one big dead body.
You can’t critique Chinese food now?
The man has no cultural sensitivity.
Zimmern is right. Most mall, airport and other Chinese food is bogus. Not the real McCoy.
Hey andrewzimmern real quick, while you’re handing out apologies, how bout one for making us watch you eat the genitalia of all the animals over the last 10 years. Regards
Apologize for what? Telling the truth?
“Zimmern just opened his own Chinese restaurant, Lucky Cricket, in Minnesota.” That’s a funny sentence. A fat Jewish guy opening an authentic Chinese restaurant in Minnesota with a overtly food court sounding name. I don’t know why, but it made me chuckle.
Arrest him immediately!!!
That was probably one of the stupidest articles I've ever had the displeasure of reading. The man's entire career is based on his love for enjoying foods from across the world, there's nothing racist about him voicing his dislike of shitty Chinese-American restaurants.
Ridiculous. Some say.
There's way more important news out there
Why is it today we have to apologize for EVERTHING. People need to grow more tolerant and stop needing an apology for something that's BULLSHIT.
Fake outrage. Everything is racist and sexist today
Not sure where these people are living in the midwest because Detroit has excellent and authentic Chinese and Thailand restaurants. Panda Express is cool if you just want some buffet style stir fry at the mall
Sort of my feeling about Mexican food I've eaten in VA, MN, OH....... Bland, tasteless, and who decided plain tomato sauce in a bowl is salsa?
Never apologize, ever.
I thought it was about pork and him being Jewish.
He ain't wrong, though.
andrewzimmern need to stop apologizing for the truth...this is how we get fakenews
That's why I don't do chain restaurants
having reviewed his comments 1) he may be accurate in how he disparages what is sold as Chinese food in many retail shop 2) yeah, he's got an ego But cultural boor? He and Andy Bourdain showed American viewers the world's food with integrity, cultural respect RoseBeckley
Sounds like what he said was the exact opposite of culturally insensitive.
Good for owning your comments, andrewzimmern. And I get your meaning -- I love Chinese cuisine in China. But I also love sh*tty Chinese food from the Midwest. Talk about your food in terms of traditionalism, not superiority. LongLiveGeneralTso
I’ll have the Cum of Sum Young Man and fried rice please.
Even I don't think he said anything wrong and I'm one of the liberal tree hugging snowflakes these lovely people in the comments are referring to.
If he was not such a liberal activist i'd let it go but now he must be held accountable and removed. Held to the same standard as he dishes out.
& CNN are disgusting. I’ve traveled the states. There are more normal, respectful, and honest ppl out there who disagree with you lying fools daily. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
No apology needed. Freedom of speech. Moving on.
He's 100% correct. Hell even in San Francisco there are really only a handful of good Chinese restaurants. I can imagine a vast majority of Chinese food in the MW is the cardboard they serve at Panda Express.
I am sorry but I tried Chinese food in the heart of China and it is freaking disgusting and it stinks. No offense
The guy eats 5-course meals of testicles - there is nowhere to go but up.
It makes him sound like a snob but I can't fathom how these comments are 'culturally insensitive.'
Sounds like the dumbest 'controversy' ever. Shocking to hear that a well-traveled chef thinks that mall 'Chinese' food is not as good as real Chinese food? Give me a break.
Just boycott this place.
He said nothing wrong
What did he say?
I tried to watch this guy's show, but, he turned me off. So, I guess I fell validated with this incident.
Jeez. Stop apologizing to these flakes.
At some level, everything is culturally insensitive
He owns Chinese restaurants... this story is ridiculously crazy.
He does do bizarre foods anymore, does he? Everybody are just overly sensitive.
He's 100% correct though. Chinese food in most of the US is garbage and only a little bit Chinese. No apology necessary on this one.
Never apologize. Ever.
Today in the WE ARE OFFENDED BY EVERYTHING news....
I think the WP opinion writer's criticism was very culturally elitist - maybe an apology is in order? Seriously, the WP and NYT opinion writers are cancer; it's really hard to take them seriously.
The only thing worse than the hateful self righteous comments he made are the hateful disgusting comments on this post.
Oh no, not culturally insensitive. 🤪🤪
BLUF: considering mall Chinese food to be poorly reflective of that cuisine makes you a cultural elitist. 🙄
He said something offensive?
A white guy telling Chinese people how to make a Chinese restaurant and shitting on Chinese restaurants in the process....you really have to apllaud the bravery.
Thanks for wasting my time.
he ordered a 3 and got a bag of weed
So would you apologize for calling McDonalds shit American food?
This is why Trump won.
