I Like Meat!

“ Vegetarians, and their Hezbollah-like splinter faction, the vegans, are a persistent irritant to any chef worth a damn. To me, life without veal stock, pork fat, sausage, organ meat, demi-glace, or even stinky cheese is a life not worth living. Vegetarians are the enemy of everything good and decent in the human spirit, and an affront to all I stand for, the pure enjoyment of food. The body, these waterheads imagine, is a temple that should not be polluted by animal protein. It’s healthier, they insist, though every vegetarian waiter I’ve worked with is brought down by any rumor of a cold. Oh, I’ll accommodate them, I’ll rummage around for something to feed them, for a ‘vegetarian plate’, if called on to do so. Fourteen dollars for a few slices of grilled eggplant and zucchini suits my food cost fine. ” - Anthony Bourdain

The Whopper Sacrifice

Burger Kings marketing people are genius.

They've come up with a Facebook application called the Whopper Sacrifice. You install it on your Facebook page, de-friend 10 people, and volia! you get a free Whopper! Who needs friends when there are free burgers to be had?

Be warned, whatever friends you sacrifice for the Burger go on your News Feed, in typical over-sharing Facebook fashion.

So my fellow Notch bloggers, don't be offended when you see on your news feed that I've sacrificed you for the Whopper. Just know it's nothing personal.
