A culinary WTF

This jewel is from some “holier-than-thou” chef in Portland, OR:

Naomi Pomeroy, chef, Beast restaurant in Portland, Oregon says,
“Favorite Cheap Eat:
Portland’s Pho Oregon. ‘I eat pho [Vietnamese soup] twice a week. I don’t eat the meat in it. I need to know the meat I eat is sustainably raised, and at $5 a bowl, I doubt it.’”

Favorite retort from the blogger:

don’t waste food because your precious body is too delicate in its sensibilities to poo out anything less than grass-fed, massaged, milk-bathed and thrice-daily masturbated Wagyu beef.

[rofl.gif] [thumbs-up.gif]

The chef will eat the pho that has been infused with the beef taint, but not the beef itself? Nice.

Jackass.

Naomi has closed more restaurants in the last five years than there are titty bars in Portland - no mean feat.

So SHE herself isn’t sustainable?!?!?! Hahahahaha.

Nope. Her restaurants are always on the edge of “cutting edge” and open to great fanfare. Then they fizzle because they don’t execute.

Maybe she should just serve her exquisite poo.

Love the tags on the blog entry by the author:

well aren’t you precious?, don’t be a tool, the pig is a magical animal, floyd elliot is groovy, righteous indignation, food, sustainability, pho, chefs

mmmmmmmmmmmm…

beef taint.

I don’t know what beef taint tastes like but I’ve tasted boar taint…
