At first, I was full of mirth at this man's pathetic attempt at a "breakfast". Slightly underdone eggs with chives, raw tomato, squeaky mushrooms, this looked like the work of an amateur. Not even a hint of the necessary Maillard reaction in the crumb, pathetic.

But my artisinal, low-sodium kettle chips fell from my mouth as I gaped at what I noticed next : iodized salt. Not only was this maniac putting it in his food for flavor purposes, he was also ensuring proper dental nutrients.

loving hell, dude, you're at the point of hating hipsters so much that you're assuming other people think they're cooler than you. The joke is that a giant canister of salt being right there makes it look like they're going to dump it all over their wet eggs. No one's calling you a nerd, calm down.

Speaking of AFP dreams, about a month ago I had a really awful dream in which I had to eat a bunch of raw horse eggs. They were big and brown and leathery, and instead of the normal egg situation they were full of countless small individual yolks rather than one yolk surrounded by the white. They smelled awful, like rancid meat and plastic. Plus they were from male horses, and for that reason they were known as "dearth eggs".

I keep remembering that dream and getting viscerally grossed out to the point of almost physically gagging. Also it's weird that my subconscious mind knew the word "dearth", but pretty much every other aspect of this situation is weirder than that.

You have some unimaginative friends issuing these dares. Espresso with a lemon twist is absolutely a thing, and has been for a long time.

Y'all ever have that bulletproof coffee that was trendy for a little while? You make some strong coffee and blend in butter and coconut oil. My mom made some for me when I was over at my parents' house a while back and it gave me instantaneous diarrhea. Tasted like greasy coffee (the coffee, not the diarrhea (but I bet the diarrhea tasted like that too)).

I saw this menu at a hipster bar i went to recently:



Why? Why did anyone think this writing style was a good idea?

AAAAAGH. As a bartender and general proponent of succinctness this is absolutely killing me. From a "craft" perspective this is an incredibly unimaginative cocktail list. Only one cocktail on here is a true original, and it's a pretty safe combo of gin, St-Germain (which they misspelled) and citrus, with a little mezcal to liven it up. Everything else tells you outright that it's just something you're used to with an inoffensive substitution. This of course excludes the Bloody Scary which is the loosest Bloody Mary riff I think I've ever seen. No Worcestershire or horseradish? For shame.

And then of course from a writing perspective I completely loathe how they decided against simply telling me what's in their drinks in favor of jacking off in my unwilling face about how Clever and Interesting they are. For those who aren't used to the craft-cocktail scene, seeing this sort of thing at a bar you're at for the first time is how you discern the true believers from a bar run by sharks who smell money in the water.

She's probly going to get a glass of water.

Holy loving hell. If I were working the front desk at that restaurant I'd just tell them we're not honoring their reservation to save myself the headache of having to plan a special meal with the chef who probably wouldn't even do it anyway. This is of course assuming that they provided this document in advance when making the reservation and didn't just show up with it in hand and expected a customized three-course menu with no advance notice.

There's such a bizarre sense of entitlement with some people at restaurants. You do not have the right to get exactly what you want, on demand, wherever you go. If you're humble, understanding and friendly, restaurants will accommodate you as best as they can. But if you have such serious dietary restrictions you'll be much better served by looking at the menu in advance and figuring out what the easiest, most low-impact modifications you can ask to make are. Or just fuckin' eat at home and go out for drinks after! gently caress!

This was an absolutely delightful video; thank you for sharing it. Barbecue is one of those American foods that I can't imagine anybody disliking. Their reaction to brisket, especially the younger woman, is something you would see in any person who had never had it before, I think.

I'm going to the one good barbecue restaurant in Richmond VA tomorrow.

Hey, real quick: what the gently caress is up with everyone who just lives for prattling on about food preferences? What's fun, engaging or interesting about "I like food x." "x is for loving CHILDREN" "I eat x with food y and I don't like when they touch!" "x is objectively good/bad and I don't understand that other people have their reasons for liking/disliking it"? I just don't fuckin' get why this keeps happening, and why so many people get so stoked to engage in these pointless conversations.

Do you still lube the pan with butter/oil, or is the mayo enough?

Nah. Dry nonstick pan, a moderate amount of mayo on the bread. Works perfectly. The other tip I've learned about grilled cheese is to use a lower temp than you initially might think to. Put the burner at about halfway to max and let it take its time. Also, use a couple different cheeses. I like mild cheddar (melts better than sharp) with fontina.

It absolutely loving isn't! The mayo is completely burnt onto the surface of the steak, and as you can see in the cross-section, the fatty parts of the ribeye are completely unrendered, resulting in unpleasant texture and a flavor that is bland at best. That's burnt mayonnaise surrounding a steak that was only cooked by the heat of boiling mayonnaise, which I'm sure you can surmise as well as I can is not an ideal method of cooking steak.
