Sure, you’ve already heard all about it, and maybe at this point you feel like you’ve already seen it.
Watch Food, Inc. anyway. If you’re in the F&B industry making a living off funneling things into other people’s mouths and stomachs, it is your duty and responsibility to learn as much as you can about the product you sell.
This has been a PX This Public Service Announcement. Thank you.
OMG the hipsters are taking over. ugh. gagh. blergh. BLECCCH.
last night was dinner at one of my favoritest places. and can you fucking believe it– one of my most UNfavoritest creepfaces on the planet was there. what the fuck. shouldn’t he be on a stoop or a rooftop or in some internet cafe or some shit in brooklyn somewheres? i mean– SURELY the west village is too bourgeois for him, no? GO AWAY JERKHEAD.
yah so
there i am trying to enjoy my dinner at my regular weekly haunt when, lo and behold, who should come and plop his dorky ass at the table right behind me. gabriel "dweebface" snyder. nice sneakers, scrotumhead. whassa matter– Goodwill was out of Hush Puppies?
so right away (after i suppress the bile bubbling forth and ingurgitate my cud and overcome my gag reflex and roll my eyes into my head) i say to my date: "eew. that’s gabriel snyder." and then i explain who gabriel snyder is.
my date responds: "ohhhh… should i say something to him?" and starts to rise out of his seat.
but i stop him.
why?
because (aside from the fundamental axiom he shouldn’t fight my battles for me) gabriel-snyder just happens to be sitting with richard-johnson, paula-froelich, corynne-steindler, chris-wilson, tom-sykes, and a half dozen other gawd only knows who elses. in other words, ya know– i was suddenly overwhelmed by visions of an imperial shihtzu in a pool of piranhas, if you hear what i’m sayin.
some other time, gabriel-snyder.
BITE ME, BITCH.

Chateau St. Michelle – Cabernet Sauvignon 2005
Cost: $31/bottle at Bonefish Grill (retails $12-$15 at wineshops)
Medium bodied with a rather dark ruby color that becomes nearly purple in the center. Silky smooth with soft tannins and an aroma of black cherry, vanilla, and a note of damp earth. With time in the glass, the aromas become more pronounced but with a hint of celery and a touch of oak. In the mouth, it has decent tannins and acids and with perhaps just enough fruit to keep you interested. Still it appeared and tasted rather monotone having that earthy feel to the wine, which made it a bit awkward. I will admit that matching with Bonefish Grill’s famous Bang Bang Shrimp and Chilean Sea Bass with their spicy and rather salty chimichurri sauce overwhelmed the wine at certain points of the evening, but if anything, it should have been an advantage due to its fruit and sweetness. In this instance, it was not. Tasted plain and quite frankly flat at some points. Rating: 82
