It's Official: Hipsters Love Food

Posted by Nina Lalli at 2:30 PM, July 24, 2007



From cheapassfood.com

When I was growing up, it was weird to be obsessed with food. It was not normal that, during a rock show, I was freaking out about where my friends and I would end up eating dinner after. When I became a "grown-up" and got a "job," I wondered if it was not hip to be writing about food. Was I like some premature grandma, always feeding people braised meat, fattening up boyfriends and reading cookbooks in bed?

Well, finally, it's official. Food is the trendiest, hippest thing around. The new website Cheap Ass Food, has brilliantly taken advantage of that fact by launching a hipster food website, like Chowhound for people with bangs and tattoos. Instead of intricate debates about the authenticity of one tamale stand versus another, on Cheap Ass Eats, you are encouraged to say "fuck" and take cool photos. I love cheap ass food, and will definitely be checking in regularly.

Does taking pictures of dinner every night qualify as obsession?

Can we please now separate the word "hipster" from the sheep-like trendies? Or is this like when "bad" actually means "good"?

We love food, weather you think we're hipsters or not check out the site for the content and stereotypes.
Thanks

Dear YOung, it's "whether," not "weather."

Lord, does anyone ever consult a dictionary or grammar book these days?

Dear grammarian,
The answer to your question is "no".

BTW, I think Lenny Bruce would be considered a hipster, not these lemmings of today.

Also, I don't like the word "Ass" so close to the word "Food".

Should we really be eating ass food?
