I was reading SeriousEats.Com today, and they had an article that someone wrote on another food website, discussing “25 Random Food Thoughts”. This person just simply listed 25 things pertaining to food…everything from her definition of “comfort food”, to how she would drop anything to eat her brother’s food. So, I decided to do my own list. Check out what I wrote, and see if you agree or disagree. Enjoy!!!
(1) I don’t understand why people engage in vegetarianism and veganism. To me, it’s an uneducated, shallow and pretentious attempt in being so-called “healthy” and “green”.
(2) One should not eat the cuisine or food of a culture that you are prejudiced of.
(3) I always like my steak or hamburgers cooked medium-rare…which is the proper way it should be cooked.
(4) I am a huge fan of ethnic supermarkets.
(5) If you ever want to find me, just look for me at Wegmans. I am there several times a week.
(6) I love and have a passion for cooking Italian cuisine.
(7) I didn’t try sushi until January, 2008. I LOVE IT, by the way (Check out my Facebook Profile picture of “Uni”…Sea Urchin)
(8) Although some may consider me a “food snob”…I love frozen pizzas, specifically California Pizza Kitchen frozen pizzas.
(9) IZZE’s and Essn Drinks (Not Essn’s energy drinks, but their regular drinks) are one of life’s great treasures. Check out their sites: http://www.drinkessn.com/ and http://www.izze.com
(10) I have not eaten pizza from Pizza Hut, Dominoes…places like that, for several years. And won’t. I don’t eat fake pizza.
(11) I had a bad experience at Clydes last week…first time ever I have had a bad experience at Clydes.
(12) I will drive long distances for good food (Ben’s Chili Bowl-NW DC; Urban BBQ-Rockville, MD; Shoreline Seafood-Crofton, MD)
(13) It speaks volumes of a person who is not willing to try any and all cuisines…usually that they lack a bit of intelligence, adventure or openess.
(14) There is a great little place right off the side of the road on Route 15, near the VA and MD line that makes the best kettlecorn on Earth. I can usually go through a bag within a day.
(15) I am not too big of a fan of chain restaurants….some, but very few.
(16) I am not a big fan of the Food Network. I used to, but I am not anymore, with the exception of “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives”…awesome show. Everything else…it’s like a damn sitcom.
(17) I think Cheesecake Factory is the worst damn restaurant on Earth. Why people think that is a great restaurant, is beyond me. Never trust a restaurant that makes 15 different cuisines, and serves everything in HUGE portions.
(18) In eating ethnic cuisine, ALWAYS strive for authenticity. If you eat Indian Cuisine, let the majority of the cooks be Indian. Real Mexican Tacos don’t have heaps of sour cream, cheese and tomatoes on it. And Thai food doesn’t taste so sweet that you can make candy out of it.
(19) I can’t stand ketchup, but love tomatoes, love tomato sauce, and love BBQ sauce.
(20) I can’t stand people who dump alot of condiments on their food…whether it is mustard, ketchup, steak sauce, soy sauce, hot sauce, etc. When was the last time anybody in America has really TASTED their food…the main ingredient?
(21) I have a family (Immediate and Extended) who are fantastic cooks/chefs…my late grandmother cooked for royalty, a former First Lady of the U.S., etc.
(22) You can always judge the quality of a restaurant by how clean the bathroom is (There are exceptions to this rule, however).
(23) If I could cater my own wedding, I would. I could do it better than anyone else could, but my family and future wife won’t let me.
(24) Over the past few years, I have really grown to love East Asian Cuisine…Thai, Vietnamese, Chinese (Authentic of course)…Vietnamese perhaps being my favorite. It is really, really good.
and lastly….
(25) Anything you can cook, I can cook better.
