"My meal was so, what’s the right word—correct—that it almost defies description. Nothing about the food was remarkable in any way. The eggs were runny, as eggs should be. The steak was seared and salty, as it should be. The hash browns were crisp, the coffee strong and fresh, the toast warm and charred, the jelly purple as a Blow Pop—as it all should be. I ate it with a pleasure that would only unravel on reflection."

The fuck is this garbage? Who paid him to write this? It was a fucking jew wasnt it.

This is fucking dumb. But short order cooks are one of the restaurant industry people I have the most respect for.

>I should mention at this point that my therapist declined to discuss these issues with me for this story.

> T-bone steak and eggs over easy, hash browns and coffee, buttered white toast and purple jelly. It was a simple plate, plainly made and swiftly delivered by a young, very pregnant African-American woman with a light southern accent and a pierced septum. “Fat lady coming through,” she shouted as she leaned over to refill my coffee

Huh?

>What I felt as I watched Charles was…something else. The obvious thing would be to call it jealousy. But that’s not exactly true, and for some very ugly reasons. Put simply, Charles and I don’t occupy close enough planes of social power for me to be jealous. Race, education, class, privilege, the whole fucked up intersectional soup that defines contemporary America, makes that impossible. To say that I am jealous of him is to engage in class fetishism.

Charles is black btw not sure if it matters

An essay by a mentally ill Jewish man who wants to be line cook cucked by a black man.

Thanks for the red highlighting. Saved me the hard word of reading the preceding twenty words. Yes, I counted.

>The racial makeup of this particular Waffle House made things no easier. When a white American man expresses envy for the physical attributes of a black American man, however indirectly, it is by definition not a neutral act.

I'm convinced this is satire

>Interesting story about how short order cooks have to do a stressful job that requires multitasking under time constraints which a normal chef would struggle with but because it's only 'fast food' they're criminally underpaid
>Ruin it with 4000 words about how you want your wife to take the BBC and intersectional critical theory about the nature of (toxic) maleness.
Why can't these dopey fucks just write the facts anymore without injecting their fetishes into it.

>And this is what they taught me about food, labor, and (my toxic) masculinity
Can't we have an article about cooking in peace?

[Anonymous No.11737090]

funny how the word "toxic" appears in the final paragraph.

>** This story was originally assigned to a reputable food publication, which declined to run it. **

Oh no the controversy!

Fucking this. Celebrate the workers who are doing the heavy lifting, celebrate craftsmanship, celebrate the skill and knowledge that went into this job. Skill, knowledge and craftsmanship is fucking BEYOND race, gender, color, ethnicity.

>For Ocasio-Cortez, food is political, and the most tangible indicator of our social inequities. Sure, as living beings we all must eat to survive—and there’s unity in that—but what we eat and how much and where it comes from and what we must do to get it varies widely. “The food industry is the nexus of almost all of the major forces in our politics today,” she says. “It’s super closely linked with climate change and ethics. It’s the nexus of minimum wage fights, of immigration law, of criminal justice reform, of health care debates, of education. You’d be hard-pressed to find a political issue that doesn’t have food implications

This is why, shitlord
