Great! I was going to make it anyway! I need your top 5 favorite chefs, followed by your top 5 musicians/bands/artists/groups.
haha honestly as much as I love food and cooking and dining out, I really don't know too many specific chefs that well. Although I will say I'm always down for a trip to Flavor Town, so Guy Fieri would definitely be up there! only mostly kidding As for bands: 1. Jimmy Eat World 2. The Early November 3. The Starting Line 4. The Wonder Years 5. Manchester Orchestra/The Gaslight Anthem
As for bottom five, I mean, it's tough because there are things that I like at most every one I've been to. But like, ones I eat at the least would be McDonald's, KFC (even though I don't think it's bad, I just rarely eat there), Subway, Burger King and all the fast food pizza places (especially Papa John's).
1. Mojito 2. Sangria 3. Margarita 4. Mai Tai 5. Martini That includes all the different varieties of each, not just the standard ones
No particular order: 1. Secret Aardvark (everything) 2. Crystal (favorite cayenne pepper and vinegar sauce, this goes on anything that you would put Tabasco or Frank's Red Hot on) 3. Heady Pepper (from Butterfly Bakery in Vermont, made with Heady Topper IPA; really good on eggs and grilled chicken but I put it on lots of things) 4. Queen Majesty Red Habanero and Black Coffee (best on eggs/breakfast sandwiches) 5. Dirty Dick's (fried fish and chicken) Also shout-out to Valentina Black, my favorite Mexican hot sauce for tacos and what-not. Ok actually something immediately came to mind so this is good. There's this diner in my hometown called the Rainbow Diner (it's a great diner and I love their food). When I was younger, probably around 8-10, I went there with my parents and had a Belgian waffle with whipped butter. That night when I went home I was pretty violently ill, just throwing up all over. Not a good time. And the sense memory of eating the buttered waffle before puking my guts out really kind of haunted me for a long time, that association stuck for a while. I couldn't go back and eat there until well into my mid-teens. I know now that I definitely didn't get sick from the waffle (because how could I have?), it must've just been a virus I caught, but that association prevented me from eating at that fine establishment. Pretty bad memory to have. Also I was bullied a lot in elementary school and didn't have many real friends until around middle school. Nothing specific really jumps out at me though.
Oh damn I can't remember anything recent. The first time I saw Popstar back in 2016, though, the part with Will Arnett in the fake TMZ newsroom, where they all hold up their water cups, had me dying in the theater. I was the only one laughing at it too, so everyone around me thought I was weird. It was such perfect escalation, the absurdity of it just really got me.
