Comics Nourishment
The layman may not understand but my favorite local joint has always been a different kind of feast. I have been a lucky man in many ways over the course of my life but probably the biggest way was being born to the parents I was. Smart, kind, loving. And obsessive world travelers. Oh, I ate it up. Experimented in world cuisine and enjoyed the local greasy spoons. All before I was old enough to shave. It was my mother who primarily inspired this activity, having graduated from Mount Holyoke with a double major in history and geography and memories of an adventurous mother of her own.

When you think of global fast food, Titans you probably think of McDonald’s. The chain has restaurants in more than a hundred countries and has been a household name in America since the 1950s.

Remember Chiptopia? Chipotle's Attempt at Distracting You From their E-Coli Scare.

Hopefully by now you've gained a trick: if you say Tom Brady won, you have a good chance of being right even if you didn't watch the game. You also might be someone who mixes up sports terms; is it the Super Bowl, Stanley Cup, or World Cup? Honestly, you're probably safe if you just say some type of dish. Super Plate?

Food in Film
Ah, quarantine. A time for thinking, sleeping, streaming, and eating. Usually, food and movies are at the top of my, and all of America’s, to-do list...but when the Covid hits, we take them to the next level. Our family finally ran out of luck this week, and half of us tested positive. We're all remaining healthy, but getting more and more stir crazy by the day. So in between naps, catching Pokémon, and more naps, it’s been food and movies for me. Oh--and WandaVision. Such a good show.

Enough About Spicy Chicken Sandwiches in 2021
New year, new trends, am I right? No. I am not right. For some reason, we as a culture are more divisive than ever, and I am not talking about politics, I am talking about this stupid spicy chicken sandwich war that was originated when people were ACTUALLY murdered over a Popeyes Spicy Chicken Sandwich. No seriously, that happened.
