maybe the lady did not understand the purpose of the menu. she celebrated the month with food that we all know. in the way it was brought to everyone it seems raciest though. it is good but it does not seem like a something special. maybe food that no one has had. maybe she is planning some overall menu that goes over a wide range of food of african-americans. it looks very uncreative from the start but it might be something good. what choices do you have in a lunchroom anyway.

I was not offended especially knowing that the Chef was a person of color. We (Black folk) yell and hollar about some of the most unimportant things. Who cares about fried chicken when KNOW that that is OUR FOOD!

I’m sure it was quite tasty. I applaud Chef Leslie for her perseverance. But I speak truth to power in urging this multi-billion dollar entertainment production and programming empire to reach out and celebrate black/African-American culture and heritage by tapping the vast well of talent in the community. There are a plethora of talented black/African-American writers, producers, performers, musicians who could be showcased and give NBC a great edge in global audience share (which, of course, would translate into ad revenues and enhanced profits). Show your true colors, NBC — not just during Black/African-American History Month, but year-round!
