"Tastes like corn.".

We always had rice, and if we went to my grandmother's house, there was always rice, but in other people's houses, not so much.I honestly don't know if I just always knew or somehow I figured out that it was because my parents' families both came from the Lowcountry where they eat rice.

It drifted into my consciousness that other people didn't eat rice because they weren't from Savannah and Charleston, but we ate rice because that's where our family was from..When you were a kid, did you go from Philadelphia to the Lowcountry to visit family?.We never went to visit anybody.

We didn't really have family left.My father had one sister who still lived in Savannah, although she was not one of the cooking Erwins.

The cooking Erwins all lived in Miami, so we went there sometimes.. My mother was born in Philadelphia, but her parents were from Charleston.

When they moved to Philadelphia, it was my grandmother, my grandfather, my great grandmother, and my great aunt.I personally wouldn't dream of cooking a significant dish from another culture, calling it my own without any credit to the original cuisine, and.

And that's where the difference lies: Many BIPOC chefs and cooks aren't able to go viral and find success from it.We have to toe the line of being in two different worlds at once.
