Some people thought Anthony Bourdain was trolling when he made friends with her, but I think he really loves her as much as I do. I want her to become besties with my grandma. Mine is British and no-nonsense so I think they'd make a really awesome team for a reality show on Food Network or something.

She is the William Carlos Williams of restaurant reviewers.

Nobody puts Baby on the floor.

Why do you do this to me, so close to my lunch time and with no monies for sushi.

:C :C :C :C :C :C

Overheard at a restaurant this summer:

I was diagnosed with it after combat in the Middle East, you asshole, and I know civilians who've experienced more violence in their lives than I did in a fucking war zone who can't get help. What the fuck did I fight for if civilians can't get even the bare basic shit care I got? (Which is better than nothing, …

Good job stigmatizing people with mental illnesses, fuckwit.

Agreed. There is a tendency for people to assume that all mental disorders are self-diagnosed, even when they're actually diagnosed, and then for people to not trust the diagnosis. Yes, both my ADHD and my PTSD are as real as my asthma. I'm sorry it inconveniences people to trust that others know their bodies…

I was diagnosed with PTSD after being assaulted, and I completely agree. I was in denial about the diagnosis for a long time because I felt like PTSD is one of those things that isn't real most of the time, and so it took a long time for me to get the help I needed. Many family members still don't see the diagnosis as…

My husband has PTSD, and because he developed it because of physical and psychological abuse in his home of origin plus a violent home invasion — not through military service — he already feels like his PTSD is somehow illegitimate. So I find your attitude to be unhelpful at best, and reinforcing the prejudice that…

He goes "No, I KNOW what tempura is, what's THAT?"

oh shit it didn't dawn on me that she was breaking the law by drinking at 16. what a bitch. thanks for pointing that out to me. I take back complimenting a young woman for standing up to the global internet community by showing that she's not ashamed.

1. Yes, it makes her very, very brave. Which is wonderful.

Er, going to a party and getting drunk does not make someone a lesser person, even if they are underage.

It's true we don't know much else about Jada or her life, but we DO know she is handling all this very bravely and seeing someone like her stand up for herself could make other victims feel less alone and more able…

Yahia is going to have a very bad life experience one day. I hope when that time comes he will look back and reflect on his actions.

Oh, I'm sorry. Are women and girls just not supposed to drink and ave a good time now? God forbid they do anything that isn't a sober, rational thought at a whopping 16 years old. Sounds like she had ONE drink, and it was drugged. Maybe we should give you a drink that is drugged and see how you react, being an adult…

Agreed. If there's anything good that comes out of this story, it's that at least I learned that a brave and great and wonderful girl, Jada, exists in this godforsaken cesspool called earth.

And a country that makes absolutely no attempt to change this?

Baby killers should be tortured in prison. It should be legalized. I'd totally vote for that. I hope he doesn't plead insanity because nut jobs like this always get attorneys that blame it on their upbringing or "mental illness."

People who shoot anyone are dicks. People who shoot children are soulless fucks.
