这篇社论介绍了食品，文化和社会的特刊，并致力于增加一个平行的，实质性的采取对食品名人的现象和介导的，他们创造的日常文化政治。我们首先探索美食景观的概念。具体来说，我们认为，食品名人代表了当代美食的基本组成部分，他们如何“执行”和功能，以及他们生产的社会物质手段。然后，我们探讨了食品名人的关键作用和特权，认为名厨并不是唯一的高调，调解人物在工作的美食景观。确定并讨论了关键的食品名人悖论：食品名人必须努力成为真实和有抱负的，可访问但独家的，负责任的，但也授权。最后，我们对这期特刊中的论文进行了简短的背景分析，并认为食物名人奖学金的丰富潜力是更好地理解食物不平等的一种方式。
This editorial introduces a special issue of Food, Culture & Society and works to add a parallel, substantive take on the phenomenon of the food celebrity and the mediated, everyday cultural politics they create. We start by exploring the concept of the foodscape. Specifically, we argue that food celebrities represent a fundamental component of contemporary foodscapes, how they "perform" and function, and the socio-material means by which they are produced. We then explore the key roles and privileges of food celebrity, arguing that the celebrity chef is not the only high-profile, mediating figure at work on the foodscape. Key food celebrity paradoxes are identified and discussed: food celebrities must work to be authentic and aspirational, accessible yet exclusive, responsibilizing but also empowering. We conclude with a short contextualization of the papers in this special issue, and argue for the rich potential of food celebrity scholarship as a way to better understand food inequalities.
