That’s too bad. I may be imagining things, but it feels like Haitian food has become more broadly appreciated in Montréal over the past couple of decades. The original places catering specifically to the community are still around, but I’ve also noticed many more sprout up in central/touristy areas — both diner and…

It’s partly rooted in different cooking philosophies and techniques. It’s not unusual for French chefs to obsess over the sourcing, freshness and quality of a cut of meat. Blasting it with spices is seen as detracting from its natural flavour, so seasoning is left to taste, after cooking, and/or done with…

...just how much these women recoiled at the Haitian dinner crossed over into cultural insensitivity

It’s their major, major loss.  Judging by the menu and the chef executing it (Manouschka Guerrier), they got the upscale version.

I get that this is just a stupid show and that they’re manufacturing drama, but Haitian food is delicious. Think West African/Caribbean, but with a heavy French influence.

Sorry, I can’t hear about the Department of Fish and Wildlife without thinking of these guys:

I took a look at the dog-meeting leaderboard for this season, and there are some bug surprises. For instance, Gronk’s numbers are way up.

I did not get done ANY work that day, it was one of the best in memory. Didn’t Ashley Feinbergh do an entire post on athlete’s outfits? I was in tears.

Racer.com is good, but its only really for racing fans. If Deadspin really does shutter, I’ll rue the loss of your username @UtahJazzHands, as it is the best around.

the best comment section outside of Deadspin used to be AVClub...

I can’t even recall the last time I read a story on ESPN.com. it has been at least a year. Yahoo sports, CBS sports, and all of the other copycats are all dead to me because they don’t tell any stories. I occasionally read stuff on The Ringer (go unions). And while I subscribe to The Athletic I only read a story on it…

They killed their politics blog on the eve of one of the most important elections in history, and their sports blog in the week that MLB, NFL, NBA, NHL, MLS, EPL, NCAAF, NCAAB, and NASCAR are all playing. I imagine this means we can expect The Root to get the ax in February?

Years ago they switched with Jezebel for a day and that was pretty cool.

Idk if anyone answered this but there was a memo handed down yesterday dictating Deadspin to stick to sports. It was leaked to Daily Beast. Then, all of the G/O sites independently posted an article apologizing for the shitty autoplay ads/videos and provided an e-mail address for them to air the complaints to…

Everyone please check out this important update I stole from Twitter:

This is a true story: When I was in my dirtbag 20s, my friends and I used to hang out at a crappy bar because we loved the main bartender and the culture there. Then the scumbags who owned the bar fired the bartender we loved. He went to work at another bar and we followed him there. The first bar is closed now.

HamNo isn’t even being subtle about suggesting as much:

If I had to guess, I’d say it’s more his role as an editor. If he was behind the decision to pin all the old Concourse articles to the top of the site, that would do the trick. Godspeed, Barry.

Awesome, thanks. There has to be some other platform that’d allow them to write what suits them without the idiotic oversight. What a stupidassed shitshow.
