What Now? with Trevor Noah · Asma Khan: More Than My Food · 23 Jul 2026 podcast

service, where service and hospitality is all about, you know, impressing people, making them feel good.

But when there are tears behind the wall in your kitchen, who are you actually looking after?

You don't look after your own.

So then if the guest leaves and thinks that this is great, give you a five-star review, Michelin gives you a star, Michelin might give you three stars.

What is that star worth when you have broken the soul of someone in your kitchen and we are allowing this every day and we have not been able to protect our own?

Yeah.

And so when I was approached by Chef's Table, I was so shocked because till then I was like, you know, oh, these are like the world's best chefs.

And they're like, you know, serious artists, you know, with gold leaf and caviar.

And then when I realized that this is not a hoax, first I thought it was a hoax.

And then I thought, is this real?

I told them, don't script me.

Please don't script me.

I'm not scripted at all.

I told the story of my people.

I spoke about my mother crying when I was born as a second daughter, the lamenting on my birth.

I spoke about inequality and justice.

And I was so happy.

They just sat there and let me say it.

I didn't need to tell them that, you know, my food is this exquisite and I do this and I'm so tormented and I have all these things.

I didn't need to.
