Food: Do it For the “Gram”

People are straight clowning. What happen to integrity? We need to stop praising trends and gimmicks. To everyone in the game — please show some shame, humility, and have responsibly to all those who have laid a foundation before us. As a consumer we need to be more conscious of our choices, and give credit when it’s due and not do it for the gram or likes. I’m no Iron Chef but I know right from wrong.

A bagel that looks like unicorn poo filled with Betty Crocker cake mix tossed in cream cheese taste’s nothing like the classic New York City bagel I grew up eating, it’s a poor representation to anyone visiting the city I love. We pay $8 for jello that taste like water and we line up hours for milkshakes that are loaded with store bought candy and that are laced with a zillion grams of sugar. We get excited for over-sized sushi hand rolls, we call Sushirrito, and deconstructed low grade sushi topped with spicy mayo (poke), stop it. Leave my Hong Kong egg waffles alone, they were just fine without you, please don’t take away my childhood. I like them classic, soft and fluffy, they don’t need pocky sticks and fruity pebbles, thanks. Now we have a 3 Michelin star restaurant serving dessert that looks like a used condom and then make you sound like Donald Duck while you try to impress your Tinder date, that’s just hot trash. If the Bourdain Market stay true to their word and highlight food partners from around the world while keeping it’s authenticity then I’m fucking excited for food again.
