In a tweet on Sunday, 5 May, Tom Pepinsky claimed that the rankings were done in an "objectively correct" manner but "ignores regional and ethnic sub-cuisines".
Pepinsky, who has a "special interest in Southeast Asia", teaches comparative politics, political economy, and Southeast Asian politics at Cornell University.

He placed Vietnamese and Lao cuisines as top of the list, followed by Singaporean and Malaysian food as a tie
As expected, netizens have not taken it well, saying that rating cuisines is a subjective matter
