Sad. Consider the Lobster was one of the best essays on a food-related subject, ever.

if only i knew what the fuck you were talking about.
Actually, it was “Consider the Lobster.” And yes, that was a great essay (google it, Chris Pez).
Thx tommy, noted and updated. As it happens, I’m often drunk or soon will be on weekend evenings when bad news strikes. I remember first reading it in Gourmet magazine (a year before being released as an eponymous collection of essays), replete with footnotes and all.
And I remember that next Gourmet’s issue’s had some good hate mail, which made me smile.
