I am surprised to see so many "snobs" here and not more "foodies." Seriously, there are a lot of foods on the won't eat least here. Garlic? Onions? American Cheese?

I find the whole thing a blessing and a curse, like when I started to get into televisions a few years ago, you can see details and problems nobody else can see. It is very hard for me to eat food now without looking at it seriously. When eating at someones house, usually that means it's bad. I try to keep my mouth shut most of the time. It is hard though. I love being able to tell people if something is awesome though!

Fuck you Mario Batali, my oven door doesn't open all the way because it bumps into my sink. And even if it did open all the way, where am I supposed to put my pots while I use it for something other than storage?

I long time ago my friend and I were eating Korean food for the first time. We ordered an appetizer (some kind of pancake I think) and a few entrees. So, the waiter brings out all of the banchan, including a little bowl of hot soup. Having never eaten Korean, we are both confused as to what we are supposed to do. So, we start by drinking the soup, it tasted a little strong, but good none the less. The waiter comes over to see if we are ok, and gives us a very confused look as he removes our soup bowls. Then he explains that we just drank the dipping sauce for the pancake. We were so afraid to make another mistake that we didn't touch the banchan for fear it was supposed to be paired with something else.
