NBC Chef Says: You Know Damn Well, You Want The Chicken!

Leslie Calhoun, whose Black History Month menu featured collard greens, fried chicken, and black-eyed peas, found herself the unwitting target of righteous outrage after Questlove posted a shot of the menu on his Twitter page. As the Post reports, Calhoun, who's worked at NBC for eight years and has long wanted to do a special Black History Month menu, was surprised that NBC employees decided it was racist, after, of course, asking black people dining in the cafeteria if it was racist, which, Calhoun said, "they said...it wasn't."
