The Truth About Food


People like to think that they know good food. But let me tell you, they don't. The truth of the matter is that most people have awful taste.

I come from a humble background. I did not grow up in a mansion, nor did I get the pony I asked for on my 16th birthday. At the same time, pretty much everything I have ever wanted/needed I have received. But I am definitely not spoiled. Not like some kids. The one area in which I may consider myself spoiled though, would be in the area of food. I'm sorry but I know quality.

My mom cooks five nights a week, and my dad is trained as a chef. Thus, I have been around good food my entire life. Our vacations are focused more around the hottest restaurants than they are around the coolest places to visit.

Unfortunately, most people have no idea what it means to eat a quality meal. For example, I was visiting a friend recently and she wanted to take me to the local fast food joint. She kept saying it is amazing, better than any other place I've been. I'm sorry but that statement doesn't even make sense. The words fast food scream "tastes like shit!" Therefore, anyone who believes there is quality in fast food cannot be trusted.
