Let's get the first post out of the way then. I titled this blog Still Not A Foodie as reference to Big Pun's song, as well as to comment on my own perspective regarding 'foodies'. I think the whole foodie thing is a little corny -- people calling themselves foodies, calling others foodies -- because man who the hell isn't a foodie? Who doesn't like some yummy shit?
Foodie, much like The Sartorialist, makes me think of Jenny Holzer's truism Money Creates Taste. I.E., anyone who has some extra liquid $$$ sitting around can of course come to appreciate the nuances of aged Prosciutto ham.
So while my entire food perspective is still under development, I can say today that one of my top goals is to cook and prepare a wide variety of foods and flavors for people, all people -- not only those who can afford it. Hence, don't fucking call me a foodie.
