I’m just here to highlight the top rated comment:

The Vegas location - I’m totally willing to agree.

No. But working in science for 20 years, there are parallels between food and science writing that are hard to shake. There’s an oft-repeated semi-serious joke that cooking is just applied physical biochemistry that’s hard to get out of your mind in the kitchen.

Imagine for a second, a slight, small edit to your statement:

I’ve wondered for a long time if the point of his Times Square location was to appeal to the foreign tourists most of all. For the many foreigners I’ve lived and worked with, from all corners of the globe - the common impression of American cuisine they all share is precisely the kind of thing that Guy is not only…

I swear we were just having this conversation.

Can you imagine Guy traveling to some of the more far-flung locations Anthony does? Picture it with me - Guy enters a small roadside shack in Oaxaca. A couple of chickens refuse to get out of his way in the dirt driveway.

In Rachel’s case, it’s more that she comes off as barely even a cook. Slathering a few layers of transparently fake peppiness and cheer over top of that just emphasizes and highlights that she’s making yet another fucking burger.

Malapropisms, we can still file under the kinds of things a copyeditor could and should catch. But alas...

I don’t think you’re wrong - but Herb offers drastically greater specificity into Bojack’s experience of How Fucked Up Hollywoo Is™ than the show’s offered to this point. A great deal of the show’s shorthand for the industry meatgrinder isn’t up-ended by this episode; I don’t think that’s the point. I take from it…

1) I definitely maybe possibly bought the International Male catalogue sometime back in a distant time called the 90's. I’m not sure how, but I thank the stars I talked myself out of buying the Opera Cloak.

The seventies would like you to remind you they existed:

The guys who aim to emulate the grody tech bro libertarians - except that their startup is in their mom’s garage.

Mac and cheese, hands down.

In true AV Club fashion:

These days, I’ll take the silver linings where I can get them.

You’re right - I should definitely clarify that of all the medical and allied professions, nursing is the most deserving of respect and admiration.

Kind of like the pricing systems for airlines or Uber, I like it. For the past fifteen years, my order has almost never changed: double short Americano.
