A few friends and I decided to spend football season working through the whole food menu at our bar, to find the ideal game day food. There was surprisingly only one bad “never order again” dish, and the overall winner was a French Dip which I bet you could make a pretty good version of using Impossible Meat or the…

“We will find a way for him to add value...”

“Maybe pad thai or a solid Middle Eastern dish.”

When I worked the sandwich station at a deli, if someone came in with some elaborate off-menu request, I’d probably accommodate it - if it was like 4 pm. If it was lunch rush, no. We had a pretty large menu, if there was nothing on there you’d want, you’re in the wrong place. If it’s something simple, like “no…

I remember reading an article with a food stylist awhile back (can’t find it now) which said they do things like paint steaks and burgers in Vaseline to make them glisten, or mix rubber cement in with cheese to get ridiculously long cheese pulls. So yeah, I actually might be more suspicious if my food came out looking…

I worked a deli counter for awhile, and by far the worst was the in-house roasted turkey breast. For one, it was always crumbly and would always would fall apart, especially when sliced making a mess. Even worse was an order for a personal shopper. I don’t blame them, they were just making a living like all of us.…

My Italian-American grandma was a great cook who almost always used the green bottle Kraft “parmesan”. This wasn’t because she was a philistine, she was feeding a big family with only a handful of steady jobs, and she managed to turn out delicious food with the ingredients she could afford.

Came here to comment similarly. Community is a good choice, but wrong choice of Christmas special from Community.

Yep, according to BITE I spent about 5 years in a cult. Called grad school.

That’s why I felt so sick this past Spring - eating all of those Cadmium Creme Eggs...

“We really need to hold an intervention with celebrities to tell them what we’ll actually find charming and romantic about their relationships, because they seem to have no idea.”

Do you think it’s a sample selection issue, or should the old “never get into a car with a stranger” thing be amended with “and NEVER get into a car with a celebrity”?

I mean

Yeah, I know a lot of people were not down with the ending. Which, fair, it was kind of too on the nose for my taste, but that first hour or so of Men is creepy as hell. Definitely better than Bodies Bodies Bodies, what a pile of garbage that movie was (I pirated it out of curiosity, at least I didn’t pay money for…

I thought After Yang wasn’t all that good, though Farrell was pretty good in it. Banshees, on the other hand, I thought was great, I’m definitely rooting for him there. 

Motherfucker never served, has barely even ever had a job. I’m also surprised people still use the term metrosexual, it has a very early-2000s-network-sitcom vibe to it. Fuck right off, forever and always.

I was actually thinking about that recently while re-watching Nope and they were taking about “The Oprah Shot”...

My grandma gave me a brulee torch as a birthday present. When I turned 9. Needless to say my parents confiscated it immediately. 

I remember reading White Noise because it seemed up there with Infinite Jest on the list of “Books College-Educated Cis White Guys Should Read Or At Least Have On Their Bookshelf.” Which, is basically Baumbach’s whole boring schtick, so I guess he’s the right guy to adapt this.

Bronson was pretty good, and he has a book of his collection of rare film posters, unfortunately titled The Act of Seeing, which is cool. Definitely worth it if you can find it at your local library, since it’s currently going for about $250 on Amazon...
