It’s all about headlines and now this.

I thought ParKaren was when a bunch of men jump furiously from one thing to another yelling, “ParKaren! ParKaren!” I could be mistaken, though.

He got the haircut he deserved. 

As someone who doesn’t frequent a salon I can’t get into the mindset of someone who “needs” that time in the chair whether for one-on-one therapy or the that the act of being groomed ties into their idea of self worth.

“My father was a marine who fought to protect the laws and government of this country. That is why I demand the right to break those laws and defy that government.”

I love this whole story and especially the comments because they all completely ignore the fact that we have slid directly into The Even Greater Depression. Many of us will be starving in a few short weeks and those precious cookbooks will be best purposed as kindling for heat or as hunger porn for the people cut off

This whole debacle just makes me want to highlight lady recipe makers/home chefs out there who get overshadowed by this type of celebrity stuff.

Every time something like this happens, I wind up thinking that coming for Chrissy Teigen is the internet equivalent of invading Russia in the middle of winter. And then somebody else is foolish enough to do it again...

I have a friend who found their way into her broad circle within the past couple years due to a high-profile media job in New York. This friend has become almost unbearable to interact with—they’ve become so self-conscious and so concerned with being cool, it’s like talking to a teenager.

I don’t know how anyone could be surprised by this. The New York food writer scene is absolutely dominated by elitist, classist assholes. It is a constant contest to see who can be the most highbrow, have the best, most unexpected taste (that still conforms to a set of standards of what is and is not acceptable—e.g.,

I’m not a fan of Teigan, who seems mostly famous for being famous. I am agnostic on Kondo, except that rash of articles last winter about people being like YOU CAN PRY ALL MY BOOKS FROM MY COLD DEAD HANDS was hilarious.

She never called a 12 year old a cunt. The Onion did that.

Americans have never, ever been good at nuance. So, needless to say, I’m not surprised that everyone has reduced Marie to a lady who is just telling you to throw away all your shit.

That’s exactly why Alison is a moron. Of all the people to choose to make snide, unfunny and unoriginal comments about, how fucking stupid would you have to be to go for the ones that are currently very popular? You are literally explaining her idiocy to us while weirdly trying to say it’s not that bad or claim it

I even signed on to executive produce the very show she talks about doing in this article.

Quote from article before edited: “For the low, low price of $19.99, please to by my cutting board.”

Considering the interviewer named dropped goop and Alison was smart enough to not come for goop but reached for Marie and Chrissy so easily is problematic. Millennials (who are almost 40 btw) know goop, rachel ray, giada etc. Marie Kondo is not in the cooking sphere so why bring her up? She made fun of Marie’s accent

I love her biscuits and gravy recipe. Yes, Chrissy started out as a celebrity but she also can back it up with her recipes. I also like the amount of her Thai heritage that is visible in what she likes to make. Something that is also bugging me is how easy it is to dismiss people like Chrissy because they didn’t go to

Unfortunately, I know some people who have worked for and interacted with Alison and reported that she is... not a nice person. In fact, she was sort of egregiously careless with other people’s feelings. Not the way they put it, they used more profanity. I was super disappointed to hear this at the time, but at this

I’m loving this saga! It’s not like I have anything else to do on a quarantine Saturday. From what I’ve vaguely heard, Alison Roman may or may not be a jerk. Isn’t there some weirdness regarding her and her former career with Bon Appetit? Hmmm....
