and Shake Shack for New York City. The South will just turn the burger argument into a fight about fried chicken.

Dead on. Everyone made a big fucking deal out of Chik Fil A but quietly ignores the fact that the Whole Foods CEO is a nutjob libertarian who thinks that Obamacare is going to ruin America. A lot of these companies aren't even consistent with their crazy. Chipotle is all anti-GMO but sells Coke, and owes their success…

Five Guys are on the west coast, so wanna try again?

I feel like the anti crowd is a vocal minority (though in terms of commenters versus overall readership, we're all a vocal minority) that's pissed over A. their favorite show not getting wall to wall coverage anymore and B. politics. The politics have nothing to do with the food, but they're so pissed about it that…

Good for you. Lucky Peach (David Chang's new hangout) has already called food pop-culture, and so much of pop culture now involves food, whether it's as competition, documentary or the marrow of the show (Hannibal). I'm honestly excited that they're taking a high/low look at food.

The tv club reviews do fine (in an ok-ish sense), but the problem is that people want E V E R Y T H I N G to be covered during the era of peak tv, and they just don't have the people for that, especially when shit like Netflix (another institution that people love to complain about without understanding) will drop…

It's a pop culture site, not a tv site.

I tune out every comment that follows up every complaint about clickbait with a complaint about the politics.

Seriously, I'm getting fed up with some of the people around here and how new shit is the death of everything.

The only movies I've watched this summer were Hail Caeser, High Rise, The Lobster and The Nice Guys (twice). If Neon Demon and Love And Friendship are still in the dollar theaters I'm going to try to see those.

Three different teams of men fight over control of a giant dick. The dude who's doing it for a woman and who has the smallest squad (ie the most self-reliant) wins.

Fuck me for agreeing with a manimal post, but yeah this.

I gave it up the moment I realized it made my mouth explode like a weekend at a Tijuana whorehouse.

Further proof that David Denby is a smarmy fuck.

There might less to do, but everyone lived (and very much still lives) in apartments that rarely have more than three rooms, and sometimes feature multiple generations.

are those numbers controlled for the wealth of the parents? In every other study out there about predicting future success, wealth is the most reliable predictor.

It gets even more confusing when in an alternate universe the UK and France enter the Civil War on the side of the Confederacy, which leads to Russia siding with the Union, and the Union cutting a deal with Mexico, and gives them the green light to invade Texas. Any Russian involvement would probably quickly involve…

Wait until you see what Moria means in Greek.

Once in grad school on Halloween a classmate came dressed as Luigi. Healso had to do a presentation that day. Everyone was laughing so hard, that the professor had him turn his back to the class just to continue.

She's a fucking Texan.
