The Bear (FX on Hulu) TV Show • Page 94

If the purpose were to solely get drunk, sure. But the complex taste of a spirit or a cocktail can be just as enjoyable as the food you are eating. What are you drinking when you eat your ziti?

 

The way the Michelin Star came to be is maybe one of my favorite marketing fun facts of all time.

People weren’t wearing out their tires quickly enough, so Michelin made recommendations further away from the city to encourage people to drive. And the star was born.

 

They used to have Pepsi products so I got a Mountain Dew, but now I have to get a regular Coke.

 

There are so many films out there where the love of food and drink and cooking is integral to the deeper themes. Are you watching them and just assuming the director is being needlessly pretentious?

 

its crazy to be a movie snob and also think mountain dew is essentially as good as any wine

 

I like a lot of violent movies but I don't go around killing people.

 

Movies are one of the most populist art forms.

 

Man, I can really go for a fancy meal right about now.

 

Chef's Table is one of my all time favorite things to watch, and out of that love, I've grown to love how this show incorporates food. Got really weird in here this last little bit, haha.

 

In the Mood for Love: queued up

Mountain Dew: secured

Dinner: the other half of a Subway footlong from lunch yesterday

 

Hell of night

 

I would go with a Mountain Dew Code Red to match her famous dress.

 

Silly response from a silly individual!

 

One day this can be us.

 

Only mountain dew I like is Baja Blast

 

I would go to bat for Voltage, but I don't buy either regularly and could only drink maybe 8oz in a sitting, if that. Just insanely sweet. I do enjoy a Coke Heavy probably once a month, though.

 

I’ve been to a one star and it was pretty good. Tried caviar for the first time and I enjoyed it but wouldn’t go out of my way to ever get it. They did make the best scallop I’ve ever tasted.

 

Love alcohol, but think Wine is overrated. Many craft beers have more rich and complex flavor profiles than wine.

Anytime I hear a sommelier talk I feel like it's mostly bullshit.

 

Coffee has more identifiable flavor profiles than wine actually. Personally I’m more into wine these days.

 

Also wine gives me the worst hangovers out of any alcohol

 

In regards to the "The Bear vs The Beef. Fancy fine dining vs cheap comfort food" debate.

The philosophy that Anthony Bourdain helped popularize that I think many food critics now share is that a taco from a street food stall or a good sandwich from a hole in the wall can be just as good and have as much value as a $200 7 course farm to table molecular gastronomy meal. One isn't inherently better than the other.

 

Sure but a poptimism overcorrection is never the move. That $200 7 course meal probably rocks, and if you have a chance to eat it you should

 

counterpoint: i can get two feet of sub from Subway for $15 and will always do that
