The above screenshot is from a recent episode of The Simpsons, in which Bart, Lisa and Marge become pretentious foodies, blogging under the name The Three Mouthkateers, after a chance visit to an Ethiopian restaurant. There’s also a very funny rap parody of Alicia Keys’ and Jay Z’s “New York.”
I’m throwing down mad foodie game, knowing all the chefs’ names
Rolling into K-Town fo Bibimbap an’ bulgogi
The hotties I chill with are sriracha and kimchee
Housemade terrines, my ducks are always confit
I braise with a billion more BTUs than I need
I cook a Thanksgiving turkey in a trash-bag, sous vide
Afumatoare in Brindisi Fed-Exes me salami
Don’t scoop me gelato unless it’s got umami
I’ll be “Frank” like Bruni, “Ruthless” like Reichl “Wiley” like Dufresne, and when I take the mic, I’ll rhyme about radicchio, criticize Colicchio
Every pub is gastro, and all my beef carpaccio
Some very funny observations about the foodie culture. I haven’t watched The Simpsons in years, but they’re still pretty funny (though this may be the first instance I’ve seen where South Park did it first).
