I didn't see the show, so I don't know what language was used by the people on-screen. However, just so you know (in terms of people who write for Serious Eats and want to be accurate and respectful), "transvestite" is an outdated and inaccurate term for people within a community who might identify as cross-dressers, transgender people, or transsexual people (to name a few possibilities), depending on their personal sexualities and genders align.
It would be worth doing a little research or having a glossary around the editing room, just to be accurate and help to keep from alienating your readers.

"Can I have the eggplant Parmesan with eggplant instead of veal? I mean! Chicken? And the eggplant?"

It was actually pretty adorable, because it seemed the high-school-age couple was on a first date, and then even funnier was when the young man tried to order wine-- and not just any wine, but white Zin.

I was trying to impress a new boyfriend at the time and tried to doctor a bottled marinara pasta sauce by whizzing it in the food processor with a block of tofu (vegan) (I somehow thought it would turn into ricotta) and thawed frozen spinach. In desperation I just kept adding salt and then some old wine my roommate had out-- essentially, it was inedible goo and I definitely learned my lesson.

I had never had arugula, and especially never expected it on pizza, of all things, until I moved in with a new roommate in Berlin who put together the "typical" Berlin pizza of thin crust, tomato sauce, mozzerellla, parmesan flakes, and arugula added after baking. It was delicious, but hard to eat! It all came off the top with my first bite.

@philoserine -- We apologize for offending you or any other reader. We will definitely keep the nuances of the term in mind when referring to other gender-ambiguous chefs or food personalities.

I think we all know what those were. No glossary necessary.

A few years ago my mom and I set out to make the best apple pie. We tried a few different recipes but eventually combined recipes and our own baking genius to come up with a crumb topping apple pie that is definitely the best I've ever had. I think I'm getting hungry...

I make the best apple pie that I know, though I think I might be trying out a recipe that I just saw on this site. Yum.

I love apples! I love apple pie! I love to bake apple pie! Apple pie is the all american comfort food! It gets no better than good apple pie!
