Why I hate New York Magazine reason #23

Posted by Chewy on Thursday, September 27th, 2007

A recent blog posting by NY Mag about overrated food-related things:

“• M.F.K. Fisher. Can we go on record as saying that we never liked Fisher as a food writer? Her treacly, precious, brittle meditations never moved us, made us hungry, or plated a meaningful memory. Give us the Sterns, Calvin Trillin, or A.J. Liebling any day.”

That’s like saying Cartier-Bresson is overrated or that “Star Wars” is overrated or that Pokey isn’t cute. Fuck you, New York Magazine. You and your boners for David Chang and Berkshire pork and BLT anything are overrated. Oh, and Chowhound. I’ll come over to the Upper East Side and fight you.

Go read some M.F.K. Fisher and she’ll make you feel grateful that you have tastebuds.

Babies are also overrated. Underrated as a food souce, though.
