Karnevalske kødorgier: En analyse af kød og kitsch på Guldkroen

I 2017 åbnede restaurant Guldkroen på Nørrebro. Midt i dette hipsterkvar- ter blandt naturvinbarer og veganertakeouts har de to topkokke Umut Ra Sakarya og Frank Svärd Pedersen genskabt en klassisk dansk kro, hvor man serverer mormormad uden twist. Til et soundtrack af dansktop trakterer krofatter Sakarya hver aften sine gæster med stegt flæsk, Fernet Branca-shots og gyldne damer på kande. Sakarya har gennem spektakulære optrædener fået skabt stor opmærksomhed omkring Guldkroen og sig selv. Eksempelvis tog han karbad i brun sovs for Politikens fotograf, og han fik i foråret 2019 megen sendetid på DR3 med portrætserien Tyrkersvin. Den provokerende titel refererer til Sakaryas tyrkiske baggrund. Via sociale medier har Sakarya formået at brande kroen som en nostalgisk tidslomme uden kostpyramider og fiberrig klimakost. I denne fortælling spiller det overdrevne kød-forbrug – suppleret af enorme mængder af animalske produkter som smør og fløde – en meget vigtig rolle

TV-kokken som kønsopdrager

This article explores the gendering of a series of new formats of food television in which male TV-chefs goes from being lifestyle expert to social and moral entrepreneurs as they engage in food activist project to better national food culture. These readings draws on Foucault’s term “governmentality,” the reworking of this concept in relation to food education and food literacy. The article argues that we see a tendency in which male celebrity chefs use cooking classes and promises of food literacy to make distinctions between legitimate and illegitimate gender identities. These hierarchies are not only created between men and women, they also create hierarchies between middle-class and working-class masculinity

Povlsen argues that while gender studies do not enjoy the same prominence today as they did in the 1970s and 1980s, food studies has gained terrain and offers new ways of doing innovative, intersectional analyses of identity and everyday life in contemporarymediatized societies
