A Collegiate Guide To Kamikaze Cooking
Categories: Food Week
I am here to dispel one of the worst rumors about college life. Namely, that the food will always be terrible. This extended culinary horror we’ve come to identify as the average college dining hall need not be a 4-year death sentence for inquisitive taste buds! Here’s my story: One semester of the mandatory meal [...]
Little Women – Millennial Eating Disorders
Categories: Food Week
I live by the Patrick Bateman mantra, “You can always be thinner… look better.” And though I have a severe case of body dysmorphia, I have trouble discerning between boredom and hunger. I seriously binge eat at every meal. The other night it was Country Fried Steak with a side of fries, steamed broccoli, and [...]
Fast Food Nation
Categories: Food Week
I’ve always loved fast food. I go to McDonald’s for the Big Mac, Burger King for the Chicken Tendercrisp, and Wendy’s for the Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger and 5-piece nuggets. I like fast food at almost anytime of day, but tend to stick to Dunkin’ Donuts for breakfast, but will occasionally mix in a coffee from [...]
Cooking By Nose
Categories: Food Week
The weekend after I moved into my first apartment, I decided to roast a leg of lamb. I slathered the eight-pound hunk of meat with olive oil, garlic, rosemary and sea salt, then threw it in the oven around 4:00, fully expecting that it would be done by 6.It was a disaster. At around 9:30 [...]
My Cheating Heart
Categories: Food Week
I’m a cheating bastard. Some months more often than others, but in the end I just can’t help myself. I wasn’t able to resist my temptation last night. A man has needs, and when she asked… I agreed. “No, Pepsi would be fine.” After a fleeting moment of guilt, I sipped my soda and realized [...]
Sex And Pizza

By David Ricaud: “I live and breathe teenage melodramas. I am a gay man with a sharp tongue and, ironically, a kind spirit. No apologies.” Orange oil glides down a plane of browned cheese and thick pepperoni as the golden crust folds and dives into my eager mouth. Say hi to my guilty pleasure. Far [...]
Binge Eating and My Hatred For Food
Categories: Food Week
My name’s Brittney and I am a binge eater. I’ve met alcoholics, nail-biters, chain smokers, yoga enthusiasts, and recently even a sex addict. Hey, we all have our vice, mine just happens to be something we need to have in order to survive. I love food—cheesy rolls and pies and elaborate breakfasts were at Grandma’s on [...]
I’m A Picky Eater
Categories: Food Week
My friends comment on my eating habits pretty often. My roommate always tells people that I won’t eat anything with flavor. My boyfriend usually says, “plain Jane, wins again” when we are at a restaurant and I can’t decide whether to try something new or have my medium burger with American cheese and nothing else [...]
Breaking up with 100 calorie packs
Categories: Food Week
Some genius marketer got a bonus a few years ago. They were sitting in their office, racking their brain because they had to be in a product development meeting in 10 minutes, and still had no clue as to how to market food to women (which is like trying to market ground turkey to a [...]
I’m Sorry, This Water Is Reserved For Special People
Categories: Food Week
“I don’t understand why you would buy Fiji water Melanie, it supports a fascist government.” My roommate comments on my purchasing choice after I come back from Whole Foods, carrying in a 1L bottle of Fiji water. I think to myself, she’s right. Why would I spend $3 on a bottle of water that doesn’t [...]
