The Internet has ruined food opinions in many ways. The worst has to be that there are right and wrong ways to eat food, especially local delicacies. For too many people, having an individual preference now means that any conflicting preference is wrong.

Me, I don’t understand the appeal of “plain” yellow mustard at all. I’ll happily take a hot dog with some ketchup but if someone gives me one with French’s mustard on it, I’ll throw it away.

The episode was great. You only made one mistake: While Megan only appears twice as herself, she also appears as the shapeshifter.

When I was 15, I went on a road trip with my 30-something half brother and during a stop at my half sister's house I was offered and smoked marijuana with crystallized opium on it. Fantastic high, so inappropriate as to be insane.

Around here (suburban Portland, Oregon), Dairy Queen sold (they still might, it’s not a regular visit for me) fried cheese curds, which I really liked. They also obviously had french fries and, less obviously, brown gravy. You know what they didn’t offer? Poutine! How do you miss that bet when you’re offering all the

The McDLT has been forgotten because it wasn’t very good and the whole concept seemed designed to appeal to one board member with OCD. When’s the last time you bought a hamburger and thought, “I wish I could have put this together myself” or “damn, this shredded lettuce is too hot?”

I watched the movie opening night with a friend. Both of us enjoyed Twin Peaks (most of it - ABC saw to the problems with the rest) and we found the movie quite good. Yes, it was darker and more depressing than the TV show but we fully expected that based on the premise. Maybe we too were ahead of our time in that

How about "Ally McBeal" on the TVs in the bar?

You’re likely wrong. These were, essentially, heavy pieces of paper with no protective coating held tightly together with thin cellophane in thin cardboard boxes. Unless stored in a temperature-controlled environment, 60+ years is just too long. I don't think his description of them being fused into blocks is an

Burgerville is the place where I really like ordering their cheapest hamburgers because the sauce is so good.

It's presumably only if you turn human again with alcohol still in the system. "Smart Hulk" clearly had no idea because he's a combo platter and doesn't change to human at rest, if at all.

The CGI looked worse in the trailer mainly because we weren't used to it. Having longer shots and scenes makes all the difference. I find both hulks a bit "cartoony" but that's because they're literally animations. I don't mind because the other choice is painting big, buff people green and losing the charm of

How do you write this article and never mention Chipotle? People have been gobbling up tortilla-free “burrito bowls” from those E. coli factories for years. Why is it any surprise that other places want to get into that action?

Indeed. I had my first taste of ranch dressing as a kid in what was actually called a “rumpus room.” It was already de rigueur at parties when bell bottoms were still cool, at least for moms.

It’s a particularly poor argument here. While I think Sarah Paulson is great, I don’t think her name puts the proverbial butts in seats. Unless she was cast after an audition process where she blew her competition out of the water, there’s no good reason for someone to be casting Linda Tripp and go after Paulson.

I’m sorry, but I think it's totally wrong for a 27-year-old to have a romantic relationship with a 5-year-old.

When I was a kid and spent nights at the house of a particular friend, his mom's giant spicy pickles were our snack of choice. They were so large, and the brine so full of flavor, that two pickles each would hold us for a long evening. I only got a look at the basement pantry once and was stunned to see four shelves

It’s more insidious than that. Republicans have put so much effort into being sex-negative that if children are taught sexual education and acceptance of those who are LGBTQIA, those kids are that much more likely to be unwilling to be Republican.

Should an EpiPen be included in all place settings?

If Netflix really wanted to advertise their games, they could do it for zero - or very close to zero - dollars. They could just put a quick ad when you load their app on a mobile device. I mean, damn, I’ve been using it on my phone daily for the past two weeks and knew nothing about the games until Kotaku told me.
