Vice: There is a New Wave of Foodies That is Dumber Than Ever
Just my thoughts to this article…Food trends have become one where it’s now a chef or at home cook who tries to mash anything together in hopes of getting some press out there even if the end product really doesn’t taste good. Once this trends, everyone has to go and try it which in of itself isn’t so bad. It’s when people, almost like sheep, just praise it because their favorite blogger or friend said so. There’s a difference between something that is good and something that just isn’t.
I didn’t mind the bacon trend a few years ago. It made sense as many people ate pancakes with syrup and a side of bacon. The sweet and salty worked, and so then did some versions of some type of sweet candied bacon. The Cronut was another trend that was huge last year. I tried a local version of it that was ok though likely not as good as the original. A co-worker graciously gave me a bagel that was also like a croissant which was terrible and made me question why this was even being sold. Some of these food outlets and chefs have no shame when it comes to trying to hitch onto a bandwagon to make a buck, and “foodies” out there embrace it even if it doesn’t work.
Now we’re seeing Pizza Hut try chicken finger crusts, Taco Bell with a breakfast waffle taco, and truffle oil (wait, is this made from truffles? Hmm.) on everything. Disgusting. This is just as bad as those places who charge $1000 for a martini, but I’ll save that rant for another time.

Yesterday I ate 3 pieces of fried chicken, a biscuit, and mash potatoes with gravy. The biscuit and mash potatoes were redundant, so I’ll skip 1 or the other next time. For dinner I had a couple corn dogs from Hot Dog on a Stick. No snacks today.

Some Bad San Francisco Press….
Vice: Reasons Why San Francisco is the Worst Place Ever
Being from San Francisco, I can’t argue with much of this. The author basically takes the worst aspects and lays it out. MUNI and tech drama blows, and this city is full of people who think their shit doesn’t stink. Of course there’s a ton more positives about this city given that it still has its charm.
While there’s a mass of people moving to Oakland, that has made real esate and rent prices in that area skyrocket too. It’s just too easy to say, hey move to Oakland because it’s cheaper, and this has been beaten to death already. The real thing at play here is mobility which applies to much of the Bay Area. When property values rising, it becomes harder for a 20-50 year homeowner to move due to the property tax that comes with it. If you bought that house for $250K 25 years ago and your income has remained relatively the same, you’re staying in that house even if it’s worth about a million dollars today. If you have a sweet 2 bedroom apartment for $1500 for the past 15 years, you’re staying there too.
The street kids on Haight-Ashbury have always been there. Authors are too salty about Fisherman’s Wharf and Alcatraz, ya know, tourist attractions that locals don’t even go to. R.I.P. to Bush man though, dude was entertaining over there.

Since Lindsay Lohan allegedly made a list, I decided to make one too as I had time to kill. This list isn’t the top 10 hottest chicks. It’s more the Top 10 I’d like to hook up with.
1. Denise Richards. No reason other than she’s a sweetie who looks hot. In an interview, she’s open to most things sexually.
2. Scarlett Johansson. Perfect body, pretty face. Not much more needs to be said.
3. Ashley Benson. See above.
4. Song Ji Hyo. She’s on what used to be my favorite Korean variety show. Super cute and a bit of a dare devil in her.
5. Ke$ha. Can’t seem to get into her looks even with her make over, but it seems like you can do some nasty shit to her. Look it up.
6. Emilia Clarke. She plays Daenerys Targaryen on Game of Thrones. She’s got some booty on her!
7. Jordana Brewster. Brazilian hottie! Pretty girl though needs a bit more curves.
8. Rashida Jones. Older chick though still pretty & intelligent. Doesn’t get enough press!
9. Christina Hendricks. Usually not into red heads, but this one comes super top heavy! Very sexy.
10. Jen Selter. Best ass on Instagram though her face is just meh.
