    I'm more concerned about people who spend all their time worrying about how much gluten they get in their diet.

    On the other hand, grass-fed beef does taste better, and those who tell me to STFU about that are pinko commies who hate 'Merica and stuff.

    I have a FB friend who posts pictures of gluten-free food almost daily.

    Hey, Dick, you know the U in STFU stands for "up", right?

    Did this same friend also do the Atkins diet?

    Gussying up ramen is the next big thing among millennials.

    I like food. Like to cook it, eat it and occasionally talk about it. The foodie lingo is kinda dumb, though, and I think the obsession over barbecue, especially among journalists, is very strange. McDonald's aint good for ya, but sweet Jesus, full platters of barbecue two times a week will give you a coronary in two years. I like good food, but I also don't mind eating a little <i>better</i>, too.

    Food writing can be tedious to read at the same time that it takes skill to write about food and make it come alive.
    Maybe I would enjoy it more if I didn't feel I were being taken on a ride with some fancied-up advertorial.

    Wine writing is the worst.

    A good chunk of Thomas Harris is nothing but food and wine porn.
