Food Snob Chronicles

They were joking, right?

by Jerry 3 comments February 4, 2010 Food Snob Chronicles

We all love top ten lists. As a society we’re obsessed by them. We gravitate towards sites with lists of the most famous, the best dressed (and worst dressed), the most influential and lists of biggest mishaps that have happened to celebrities. All we have to give is “The top ten reasons” for anything and [...]

thumbs-down

I have worked on-and-off in the restaurant industry for years.  In that time I’ve come to understand that a certain level of service is expected both in the kitchen and in the front of the house.  Granted, the level of service I expect depends entirely on the establishment in which you happen to be dining, [...]

by Jerry 8 comments October 25, 2008 Food Snob Chronicles

Ladies and gentlemen, I’m proud (and a little frightened) to announce that this week heralds the return of my dark, food snobbish self.  I’ve left the food snob locked in a closet since July 2007.  To say he’s been itching to get out and lay down a thorough tongue lashing on more than on topic [...]

Food Snob Chronicles, Volume 3

I can’t help it, it makes me crazy. It doesn’t really matter who prepared the dish, be it myself, a friend, a chef, or a restaurant line-cook. It really doesn’t, I still get aggravated and the food snob in me wants to shout at the top of my lungs: “HEY! Would you like some FOOD [...]

The Food Snob Chronicles Volume 1: How to tell you’ve become a P.I.T.A.

(And if the baby will let you!) In the midst of all of this idle chatter, I mentioned something about this blog [...]
