Don't mean to be contrary but I didn't find the mentioning of ethnicity in SOAC anymore of a slur on the cooks  then I found almost a whole chapter about the merits of Latin American cooks in either Kitchen Confidential or ACT.

The difference, to my mind, is that the chapter in KC is really praising the Latin American cooks as being the oil that makes most restaurant kitchens in NYC run - he is putting them forward as being great cooks.

Whereas, to Psaltis, they are not cooks at all, simply "workers" who are "happy just to have a job".

When I read Psaltis' book last week, that part really did stand out to me as being a bit iffy....

It didn't hit me either way, as a slur it certainly didn't.

Anyways, I'm out.

RE: the topic.

How about Jose Garcas, formerly of Alma de Cuba, I think???
