Gotta head to my fave banh mi spot now (Banh Ngon on Sargent)

Vietnamese food has a concept I don't often see in western cuisine - "ngán."
It's translated as being bored but applies when your palate is dulled by the sameness in texture, taste.
We want our food to hit different notes. A bánh mì is simultaneously soft and crunchy, spicy and cool, fatty and sour.

Biffo winces in pain as his perfectly rectangular teeth are unable to crack the whole walnuts he has stuffed into his mouth. BIFFO: Now some nuts for dessert. Bah! They're too tough to bite through!

Never forget how in 2004 to promote their "Shrek 2" kids meals, Burger King equipped the roofs of their restaurants with 12 foot tall, 40 pound, inflatable Shreks

#BlueJays win, 6-2.

It’s a best-of-three for the World Series.

Home run, Alejandro Kirk.

A botched potential double-play ball set up the inning and Kirk launched a three-run shot.

#BlueJays suddenly up, 3-2, in LA.

Biffo has bought a boomerang from the local boomerangery and is excited to have fun with it. BIFFO: I'll have some fun with this!

You shouldn't hold strong opinions about any work of art until you've actually seen/read/listened to it

Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?
