The American Racial Diet
EDIBLE THOUGHTS THE AMERICAN RACIAL DIET SPRING 2019 1 7 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS A cookoff is impossible without help. So is a cookbook. We’d like to extend a very special thanks to the following people and communities that came together to make this possible: —The staff who clean and maintain every inch and corner of Princeton University, and work the longest hours to keep the University running. Without them, nothing would be possible. —The Princeton Dining Services staff who were on-call for the entire event and made sure all the hot dishes were hot, cold dishes cold, and cleaned up after the festivities were completed. —The Friend Center staff who worked with us to organize the event, opening literal and figurative doors. —Chef Brad Ortega, from Princeton Dining, for serving as a judge in the cookoff and for engaging with each and every dish as seriously as any dish prepared by a fellow chef. —Smitha Haneef, head of Dining Services, for once again working with us to host this event and for taking the time to visit the class and serve as a judge during the cookoff. —Tara Broderick, from the English Department, who did an incalculable amount of planning, double-checking, and organizing. She is the entire reason why we had tables, a location, utensils, and help. —Sarah Malone for her wonderful coverage of the event for the Program in American Studies webpage and for her excellent photography. —Renae C. Hill for the gorgeous photos, many of which are featured here. —Ali, Catie, Dan, Jason, Jenn, Kim, and Mike, our Assistant Instructors, for reading, lecturing, grading, meeting, and conversing with students and their work all semester long.
