I was watching Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives and Guy Fieri was in Kansas City, KS. He was at a Mexican restaurant ran by a guy who was born in Vera Cruz, Mexico moved to California and then moved to Kansas.
The chef makes his dish, mentions Mexico about a dozen times and says nothing about Kansas. Okay, whatever I'm rolling my eyes but I'm calm. Then they start interviewing customers and some liberal white dude starts talking about supporting a local chef. Local? Local how? Dude is from a foreign country and is in his second state, how is he a local Kansas City chef?
Maybe I'm picking a linguistic nit here but it really bothered me. To really put an pin in my anger, Guy ends the segment saying come to Kansas for a cultural experience. What culture am I supposed to be experiencing Mexican, American, Kansasian?
There's potentially a 50-50 shot that the customer was a local (heh) urnalist or media figure. I've watched a segment of DDD going to a place in my area, and one of the customers they included was a radio personality for a local station. On top of getting restaurant suggestions, the production guys probably need a few food writers or "professionals" to get a better variety (heh) of "customer" comments.
