When it comes to calling out cruddy behavior, chef Sam Fore has never been afraid to speak her mind. Growing up as a first-generation Sri Lankan American in North Carolina, she had a supportive community (and a mom who always warned her about how her mouth would get her in trouble—not that she listened) but outside of it, she began to question why the rules and standards were different for her than for her white peers. Fore's sense of justice and fearlessness has only strengthened over the years, and she joined Communal Table for a lively and frank discussion about growing up brown in the South, why it's important to question your preconceived notions, accidentally becoming a chef, and standing up for vulnerable people.Tuk Tuk Sri Lankan Biteshttp://www.tuktuklex.com/Follow Sam on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/tuktuklex/The LEE Initiativehttps://www.leeinitiative.org/Sam on Mediumhttps://heated.medium.com/no-appetit-tuktuk-a3e708cb7427Roasted Tomato Curry Piehttps://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/roasted-curry-tomato-pieThis Spicy Mango Pork Noodle Dinner Comes Together in Just One Skillethttps://www.foodandwine.com/fwcooks/spicy-mango-pork-noodles-samantha-foreThese Tempered Curry-Ginger Sweet Potatoes Are Perfect for Fallhttps://www.foodandwine.com/cooking-techniques/fw-cooks-samantha-fore-tempered-curry-ginger-sweet-potatoesLearn more about your ad choices.
