What irritates me the most are the people who pronounce "chipotle" as "chipotul," or - and I promise you they are out there - "chi-pol-tey."

oh, here's another one. I love how on all those nasty greasy junkshitfood ads, the announcer happily tells you it's "processed cheese". Wow, processed cheese, oh you shouldn't have!

This has nothing to do with my gripe and is hurtful. I hope you're aware of that.

I hear the prime rib is cheaper at 4:30. And the dining room is more Hover-Round accessible.

I don't care. It was the best winter caprese I've ever had.

Not only that, but if you're nice, they might turn Jeopardy on in the Ball State Cafeteria.

I dislike the way chefs are adding "luxury" items to relatively common fare and creating "gourmet" food out it. Why does macaroni and cheese with white truffles need to be on so many menus? Do hamburgers need to be made out of wagyu and served on brioche?

Good. Now, if you are going to show up three months early for tomatoes, and three hours early for dinner, why don't you expect them to bring your main dish one course early?

My gripe... entree. Why is it an entree?

gripe - why can't the plastic wrap used on cheeses at the grocery store ever stay together enough to be used again? I always have to re-wrap everything because the **** they use is so frail and literally evaporates when you touch it.

logical assumption: it's totally cool for them to ejac on you but only if it's not premature.

Well like I said, the food was good. That gives them some operating room.

Yes. this. Tying it in with the other thead about the bacon-flecked "cheese," how about those new Kraft ads going on about how their Singles are American cheese. Rah rah patriotism.

high-end restaurants that don't get and create using fresh local ingredients and settle for formulaic high-end stuff like foie gras, wagyu and foamy **** that were obviously copied off some book.
