We gotta take this time to show our appreciation for all the line cooks out there who work tirelessly to prepare our delicious food with little to no gratitude. Like, damn you guys are badass and most of the time you don't even get tips or health insurance! Our hats are off to you!
(And honestly we wouldn't really blame you for spitting in a rude customer's food.)
We know that many people are not keen on cooking - we have Uber Eats, after all. Unfortunately, these memes are not for those people. Rather, they're for the cooking enthusiasts who geek out over new recipes. For the former camp, here's a gallery of memes that get straight to the eating part. Although, warning: they may make you hungry.
Cooking isn't for everyone, and that's okay. But for those who like to nerd out over what you're going to make for dinner every night - these memes are for you! So whether you cook for a living or just enjoy it in your free time, we think you'll find some amusement here. Bon appetit!
Practically any time people start posting near-thirst trap photos of themselves on the internet in droves, they have to expect that the rest of us are going to roast the absolute crap out of them. This particular Twitter meme makes fun of people doing just that, next to an image of the food they cooked and the caption, "The Cooking, The Face."
Now bring on the roasting, no pun intended.
In case you thought you were a bad cook...think again. These people really f*cked up their attempts at cooking so badly that you'll feel really good about your own cooking skills, even if you can't cook for sh*t. Like really, how hard is it to boil water for pasta? Is this some kind of Millennial phenomenon??
Seriously, who do the Brits think they are to be criticizing an Italian chef of all people?
Oh look, Millennials are back at it ruining everything! A new survey conducted by Porch and tweeted out by Now This News claims that Millennials might be the worst generation at cooking ever, and that nearly 40% don't even know what a butter knife is. Additionally, only about 40% know how to carve a turkey. The horror.
Porch surveyed 750 people of all ages, asking them if they considered themselves to be "good cooks" - just over 60% of Millennials answered yes, while well over 70% of Baby Boomers said the same.
Many on Twitter have pointed out that the reasoning and methods used by the surveyors is heavily flawed - it's almost like hating on Millennials is all just a big marketing ploy to distract us from real problems! Lol nah, that can't be it...
The world lost a champion of the senses today. Anthony Bourdain, celebrated Chef, author and television personality, took his own life early this morning in Strasbourg, France. Bourdain was no stranger to life's seemingly infinite struggles - he had coped with addiction earlier in his career - and perhaps that was why his utter revelry global food and culture felt so goddamn real.
Bourdain was very vocal in his support for the underrepresented - from Harvey Weinstein's accusers (including his girlfriend, Asia Argento) to marginalized populations of third world countries. He opened peoples eyes, ears, and taste buds in a way not many people can share. His wisdom was not reserved to this egalitarian warmth - the rock and roll boozehound had a keen wit and a filter thinner than cheesecloth. We've put together a collection of some of his best quotes - from sassy tweets to inspirational rants.
Anthony, we're gonna miss you.
Kitchen Nightmares is already a wonderfully trashy show on its own, but it got so much better when we discovered the Twitter account Kitchen Nightmares Bot, which spits out parodies of episode titles. You know that anything with Gordon Ramsay in it is automatically going to be entertaining as hell, but add in bot-generated content and you've got yourself some internet gold.
