DISH Restaurant

There is a cauliflower dish on the menu at DISH. The server walked over with lots of cauliflower-hype, instantly making me nervous. Ever since I was old enough to form an opinion about cauliflower, I have done so without looking back. I consider it a form of punishment to have any kind of cauliflower in my mouth. That’s why it was really weird when I had cauliflower in my mouth at DISH. We...

Sarcasm vs. Serious & the Torture of Writing About Paul Qui

I never said Paul Qui sucks. What the what is going on? This is like having a television dropped on your toe. Eater Austin just hired a new editor, so things have probably been busy.

Before anyone thinks I’m a...

Gift Card Expiration Date Pressure

Gift-card-expiration-date-pressure is one of the worst kinds of pressure known to mankind. Realizing you have something exciting that can be taken away on a certain date is an injustice at the highest level of all forms of injustice. It's like an execution date. You know the date will eventually arrive and there is nothing you can do about it. My cheater ex-boyfriend with a double life told me a...
