cooking

These cooking fails - some technical, others...intellectual - are pretty freaking horrifying. There's truly nothing worse that attempting to make a meal for ones self and mucking it up entirely. You're left hungry, embarrassed, and often without some seriously integral cooking tools. 

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??

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.)

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...

Do you feel like you're having a bad day? Take a gander at these pics and you'll probably change your mind pretty quick. In fact, looking at pics of people having a bad time can really up your morale. Circumstances could always be a lot worse, right? We're inclined to think so.

We can bet that every single person reading this asked the "Mom-can-we-go-out-to-eat?" question during childhood just to hear her say "no, we have food at home." And course, as these memes suggest, usually the food at home is far less tasty than anything you could've gotten at the drive-thru (especially when your parents aren't the best cooks...).

But in the end, we're secretly thankful that our parents provided us with home-cooked meals as kids, even if those meals tended to be un-sauced spaghetti noodles and a slice of unseasoned ham on the side.

Part of growing up is realizing that you won't always have someone making delicious (or gross) meals to keep you alive and well. Seamless isn't an option either unless you have a trust fund. There are times when we have to suck it up to save money and try to put a meal together. These memes are for those times. Bon appetit!

Pulp Fiction memes have been popping up a lot lately - some more popular than others.  The latest format to come out of Tarantino's cult classic is a lot more tame than we're used to, and has proven to be incredibly versatile. Memers are using it to describe "serious gourmet shit" both ironically and seriously. Here are some of our favorite iterations of the meme. 

We all know Gordon Ramsay for his fiery-tempered demeanor on TV, but according to his Twitter account he's also liable to roast average people and their cooking to an absolute crisp.

We're not totally sure if these people were trying to troll Ramsay, or if their cooking really is that horrid. Either way, they certainly succeeded in setting him off!

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.
