This is the latest installment from Foodie Underground.
When your friends start texting you photos of what they made for dinner and include only a list of ingredients, you know you have a food problem: You've turned into that person. If you're lucky, things will hold at that manageable minimum, but inch one crumb further, and you might soon be labeled a Food Snob, or worse, the in-house Europhile. Because for every style of food under the sun, there's a food personality to go with it. We've put together a guide to help you that's just perfect for navigating, and sometimes placating, the wide world of foodies.

It's sad to see yet another author stray beyond the humor and throw the "anti-gluten" crowd under the bus. True, some are now avoiding it much the same way they skipped the carbs a few years ago, but many people (estimated 1 in 100) are genetically unable to process gluten, with severe potential long-term health results. And after the years of being ignored and ostracized by the medical and food community, they are finally being pulled into the fold. It's amazing how many food professionals, be they writers or chefs, pride themselves on knowing and using some of the most exclusive or anonymous ingredients with some of the most pain-staking techniques, but utterly refuse to even consider a meal made without gluten. It's really not that hard, and to 1 in 100 people, it makes the meal a pleasure, not a poison.
There were so many reviews like that I hesitated to go. I did though, spent over $1000, and had one of the most memorable experiences of my life. The food was just mindblowingly good. I think it's idiotic to go to a restaurant like that and then complain about the price. What on earth do people expect?
Obviously Robuchon, with all his experience, has determined that the market will allow him to charge $385 for his very best efforts. No one forced these customers to order the most expensive meal, when they could have gotten something else for a fraction of the price.

what people don't realize is that being vegan opens up your world to food rather than narrowing it down.in fact for those that still eat meat/seafood, food choices are more habitual and less creative.
es and I buy them in bulk....I don't buy any of that processed vegan food making
