Notes from a Young Black Chef by Kwame Onwuachi

4.0

Fascinating read - I realized while reading I would at times be very uncomfortable. I rarely read stories from a black male perspective so this was startling at times as it was clearly outside my experiences. Kitchens in fine dining sound terrifying but you add Onwuachi's race and the dynamic becomes even more perilous at times. You root for him the entire time but it's hard to miss how stacked the deck is against him at times as well.
