Cream of the Crop

Written By Meegan Lim

The tokenization of BIPOC professionals in the food industry & the pressure to represent their entire culture is a heavy burden. “Cream of the Crop” illustrates the glass ceiling that prevents these chefs from being viewed as multidimensional people.

Original Idiom Meaning: used to describe the best of the best; cream has been used to describe “the best” since the 16th century
