The State Department was mocked by hundreds of Twitter users over the weekend after it announced a new program that will use U.S. chefs to advance 'diplomatic diplomacy.'
"No, no, no," Grenell wrote on Sunday."Diplomacy does not begin with good food. Stop!"
The State Department did not respond to questions from Fox News Digital about how much the program will cost taxpayers, and the cost and activities are not entirely clear from the department’s description of the program. State said it has partnered with the James Beard Foundation and has"curated the American Culinary Corps," which is a network of more than 80 U.S. chefs and culinary professions who will work in the U.S. and abroad to"foster cross-cultural exchange.
At an event launching the program last week, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said he wants these chefs to"use their incredible gifts to act as citizen diplomats – traveling, cooking, sharing our traditions one meal at a time."
