14 Foodie Phrases That Have Lost All Meaning

Slow food…just what the hell is slow food?

Does that mean it takes forever to cook?  Maybe that it takes a long time to eat?

And how can food be New American?  What new food are we creating?  Wasn’t the hot dog enough?

Alright, I’ll admit it…the assault of foodie buzzwords lights my little anger lamp every time.  It’s just so damn…cute.  And smug.  And pretentious as hell.

Or maybe I just don’t understand and therefore hate it because I’m the ape from “2001” and you’re the Star Child.

Either way, there are plenty of foodie terms that, for lack of a better term, make no God-damn sense.
