Are You a Gastrosexual?
The Splendid Table, the national food show produced and distributed by American Public Media, has launched a “Gastrosexual of the Month” contest.
According to Urban Dictionary, a gastrosexual "may often dress like a metrosexual, and isn't afraid to explore his artistic side and even feminine side through cooking." It makes sense that a lot of girls would be into that. The guy is so confident in his manliness, he doesn't care about the frilly apron-wearing stereotypes. According to a study performed by the food company PurAsia, 48% of those surveyed said slick cooking skills make a person more attractive, and 23% of men aged 18 to 34 years said they cook to potentially seduce a partner.
Alright, gastrosexuals. Until June 30, you can apply for the months of May, June, and July. Be ready to answer questions like: What do you consider the sexiest culinary tool? And, what one course in a meal do you focus on in order to “seal the deal”?
