The harshest takedown of a pop music star that's also the safest possible critique ever

Duck fat is a culinary cheat code. It's not on the level of truffles, but it is money in the bank.

It was one of those things I didn't know was considered fancy until I got older. We made stuff with duckfat...because we'd cooked a duck and didn't want to waste all that fat. Then people with twirly mustaches and beards told me I'd apparently been living the life of a backwoods gourmand.
 
Two biggest mistakes made on cooking competition shows are too much truffle oil and trying to make risotto.

Kiss of death, each.
 
I guess my point is that the insult - the cultural tyranny of the elites! - is indeed imaginary.

The middle of the Bell Curve won long ago.

First, I don't really think it's all that imaginary in reality - box stores have closed by the bushel, restaurants (I don't even enjoy) like Applebee's and Chili's are on the slide - but it's absolutely not imaginary in perception. Millennial men aren't growing beards and donning Patagonia vests because they live in the upper woods. They're embracing what they think to be broad cultural norms about what is and isn't cool.

There is a right and a wrong on Twitter - especially among people in the media. If you're liberal and progressive and up to date on what the correct celebrities and ESPN personalities think, you're right. If you're not - or you are and you don't agree - you're wrong, and perhaps not only wrong, but potentially a really bad person in need of cultural reeducation.
 
Can we talk about foam in the culinary world?

"Here, let me spit on your food as a finishing touch"

Foam must die.

I think it will eventually. El Bulli has been closed now for many years, so, you know, we'll see a slow, resulting decline in the more extreme areas of gastronomy.

If you like Arby's fries, you're also wrong and for sure in need of cultural reeducation.
