Fuck you, don't tell me how to enjoy my meal. I would eat a steak well done to the point of char with ketchup on it if that's how I liked it.

Exactly.

My favorite one is this "no ketchup on hot dog" bull shit I see on twitter. Like...ok, if you wanna tell me I'm eating some expensive ass entree wrong then maybe I'd at least hear you out. But we're talking about a goddamn hot dog. You're already scraping the bottom of the barrel.

9/30/2014 8:06:36 PM

I've heard the hotdog and ketchup thing too...blows my mind.

9/30/2014 8:08:39 PM

Sounds disgusting IMO, but to each their own!

i am way more impressed by people who can cook food that taste good than people who claim to know a lot about said food

Honey mustard on corn dogs is underrated

Synapse starts thread to talk about foodies.

Proceeds to act like a foodie.

9/30/2014 8:42:22 PM

its not for a regular scrap "bottom of the barrell" hot dog you speak of but if you are eating a real meat hot dog (more like a sausage) then ketchup should not be used.

Ketchup's purpose is to cover the taste of food. If you are paying a premium for food that has a specific taste and putting ketchup on it then you are wasting your money.

9/30/2014 8:53:37 PM

I bet this is going to be an entertaining and enlightening discussion.

9/30/2014 9:02:16 PM

i self-identify as a foodie, but only if i don't feel like talking to someone because there isn't a more concise way to explain that i have no interest in going to a chain restaurant

9/30/2014 9:16:30 PM

ketchup is okay on a hot dog (although carolina style is superior), just not the ridiculously sweet slop that calls itself ketchup. make some yourself, or at least buy some decent ketchup

This is the ketchup I like, you can actually taste the tomatoes.

9/30/2014 9:21:33 PM

I just want to point out that ketchup is not to be put on Bojangles fries, because their delicious seasoning is sufficient

are you confusing hot dogs for bratwursts?

I have no problem with how other people eat their food

I would like for the apathy to be reciprocated


^^I use bbq sauce on Bojangles fries

I dip bojangles fries in bojangles gravy.

I'm reading the ingredients of that Ketchup bottle up there, thinking the guy on the label is reading them

he's abruptly changing his volume on each ingredient, just like how the font formatting/lowercase/uppercase is changing

9/30/2014 10:29:16 PM

No ketchup on hotdogs is a regional thing not a "foodie" thing.

Also a friend of mine used to work at sir kensingtons. The ketchup is fine bit the chipotle mayo is better.

9/30/2014 10:40:36 PM

if you are over the age of 12 and not poor, there shouldn't be many situations that call for regular heinz ketchup.

9/30/2014 10:49:23 PM

I used to work with this lady that considered herself a "foodie"

She had champagne tastes on a Milwaukee's Best budget.

She would talk about what to do and not do with food. But she would do all her grocery shopping at Big Lots. LOL

9/30/2014 10:50:21 PM

I just made some pretty delicious dino kale chips with coconut oil, some salt, and some garlic powder.

9/30/2014 11:12:32 PM

Once we finish talking about foodies, can we talk about locavores? I'm sure there's some overlap there.

9/30/2014 11:15:27 PM

I heard of the "no ketchup on hot dogs" thing a couple years ago. and as a result, I tried replacing the ketchup with mustard.

and I must say, for me it's WAAAAY better

it was really almost a revolution in my diet...I'd never seriously eaten mustard before. now I dig the hell out of it. ketchup hasn't touched my hot dogs in two years.

by way, I ain't saying that ketchup + hod dog isn't good. just that for me, mustard is much the superior condiment for this job.

9/30/2014 11:32:20 PM

I bet the Food Babe thinks Sir Kensington's ketchup is toxic.

9/30/2014 11:37:29 PM

I don't normally eat ketchup on hot dogs either. I prefer a spicy deli style mustard. But if that's not available I'll take ketchup over yellow mustard. For some reason I can't stand yellow mustard anymore.

9/30/2014 11:42:23 PM

I usually only eat onions on my hot dogs. Makes my breath smell fresh.

9/30/2014 11:46:35 PM

I mix mayo and ketchup to dip my fries in. Best sauce ever. Also fries smothered in gravy then dipped in ketchup is pretty delicious too.

9/30/2014 11:48:16 PM

As a non-foodie, I think mayo is pretty nasty on just about everything

[Edited on September 30, 2014 at 11:55 PM. Reason : ]

I somehow manage to fit catsup AND mustard on a hot dog

9/30/2014 11:54:11 PM

Mayo is good in tuna or chicken salad. I made an aioli dip the other night that consisted of some mayo, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, and worcestershire sauce. Boil or steam and artichoke to dip and bam quick snack.

Also make my own mayo on occasion. It's actually pretty easy if you've got a preferred oil and some lemon for the emulsion process.

9/30/2014 11:58:15 PM

Shiiiiiiiiit, Your homemade mayo won't be any better than Dukes.

both these things

also homemade mayo is one of the best ever things

Being a locavore is nothing pretentious or gourmet at all. In fact, unless you live in california, locavores are giving up a lot of quality quality; all in the name of sustainability and moral high ground.

In fact, I find it hard to believe that any educated person who isn't short on cash doesn't at least TRY to be a locavore and compost their organic waste.

Oh it's not. Sometimes I'm too lazy to go to the store and get it.

10/1/2014 12:31:41 AM

the only condiment I'll use on fries from Bojangles is hot sauce. mixes perfectly with their seasoning (assuming the fries aren't seasoned to death)

anyways

ALL ROAST GRILL EVERYTHING

(they don't use ketchup because Greeks aren't fans of ketchup)

(and their hotdogs are absolute perfection)

10/1/2014 12:45:14 AM

I had thought that the rule was ketchup was OK on hot dogs, but blasphemy on hamburgers. Perhaps there is a split in the foodie movement.

Quote :

"i have no interest in going to a chain restaurant"

This is the attitude that gets me. There is a time and a place for everything, including chain restaurants and fast food. People who categorically refuse either are black-and-white-universe fascists and I cannot abide them.

And all locavores and organic food nuts, I want to invite you to come to Africa. A couple of months in village will cure you of both pretty goddamn quick.

10/1/2014 4:25:46 AM

If anything, going to a place that has been exploited like Africa should make you come back as a locavore sure thiing.

Also, traveling in general should make you more of a foodie. After Italy, I can't eat pizza with processed mozzeralla anymore so now I have to refuse like 95% of the pizza places in America.

What the hell is the time and place for eating poisonous food? I'd love to hear your situation where you're like "hey, this is a great time to eat bad food!" I guess you are out in the middle of nowhere at a bad time and there is literally nothing else to eat.

To me, mayo is perfect between bread and tomatoes. But on other stuff... mehhh not so into it.

I like the idea of trying out new places to eat the same way that I like listening to new music. I am there to think about something and to draw some sort of conclusion out of it (like, would t be worth it to come here again and is this actually special?). Not necessarily there just to eat and enjoy myself.
