food

The U.S. is pretty well known for its bastardization of other cuisines. We gobble down crab rangoon, California rolls and rainbow bagels with sheer delight. The debate over whether or not pineapples belong on pizza exists solely because some demented genius decided to place the fruit on a classic Italian dish. We see the backlash all over social media. so it should come as no surprise that there's an entire Twitter account dedicated to the infuriated Italians eager to reject these crimes against their cuisine. 

Italians Mad At Food is basically an aggregator of enraged Italian commenters bemoaning the culinary abilities of anyone who, well, isn't Italian. The comments are hilarious, lofty, and oftentimes hard to decipher - which arguably makes them even funnier. While we do believe an apology is in order for Olive Garden and Chef Boyardee, the existence of this Twitter account and its heated comments has left us grateful for our criminal takes on Italian cuisine.

Summer's around the corner, folks, and people are dieting and hitting the gym to attain that elusive beach bod. We're more interested in the lazy route: looking at grotesque food pictures until we have absolutely zero appetite! Try it, we think you'll enjoy the results.

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.

Somebody call 9-1-1! These crimes against food are making us incredibly uncomfortable. At the same time, we really can't look away. From heinous hot dog pairings to revolting ramen, these memes and pics will definitely help you lose your appetite. Great tactic for dieters. To keep that appetite down, follow @boyswhocancook - the sadistic genius behind most of these memes.

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!

Maybe when are parents and their parents were our age they could afford to live alone. But when you're in college or just trying to get by, chances are you can't pony up dough to live in sweet, sweet solitude. These memes are for the claustrophobic souls that have to share their space. May we get through it all together. 

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. 

Few things get the internet heated up like controversial food preparation. It feels like we've been talking about pineapple on pizza since ARPANET's creation. Today's crime against food occurred in St. Louis, Missouri. Alek Krautmann rocked Twitter with a joyful announcement that he brought "bread-sliced" bagels in to work, and wowed his colleagues St. Louis style. The outcry has been...intense. From St. Louisians admonishing their brother, to horrified New Yorkers, people have a lot of feelings about this method. Even Dictionary.com and Panera weighed in. We're going to come out and say we are 100% against this method. How bout you?  

Break yourself free from the weighty leaden chains of responsibility with this healthy assortment of hilarious tweets. May we all one day be witty enough to think up some of this relatable and comedic gold.

Boredom and listlessness getting you down? We've got the answer for you. These 280 character nuggets of comedy gold (and sometimes pure insight) will cure those feelings of general malaise and ennui. You might even feel inspired.

Vegan Youtube star and influencer Rawvana has issued a very long apology after being caught on camera eating fish while on vacation. Yovana Mendoza Ayres has been promoting her supposed raw vegan lifestyle for nearly six years via English and Spanish language vlogs. Her channels boasted over 3 million followers combined - and most of them are pretty pissed at this revelation.

Yovana's secret addition of fish to her diet was discovered after a video was posted of her chowing down in Mexico. One of her companions took a video and the influencer quickly and sheepishly attempts to hide the contents of her plate. She was very unsuccessful. 

Her lengthy apology video was posted on March 15th, and has already gained nearly 200k views. The comments not only call her out for her dishonesty, but for the fact that she monetized the video heavily with ads. Ayres says that due to digestive issues, doctors suggested she incorporate both fish and eggs into her diet. Frankly, it's not surprising that instead of revealing the truth to her following she opted to hide it so as to attempt to hold on to her lucrative career. Her fans seem to just wish she had been honest. If you need more entertainment, take a gander at the thousands of angry and disappointed comments right over here.

Have you ever wondered why the heck Pi Day is even a thing? Well, we're not sure either. All we really know is that Pi Day was always used as an excuse to bring in pie to math class in elementary school, so we looked forward to it every year. And as adults, we still like pie, so we're okay with this.
