Comment of the Day: WTF Edition

Today Kevin Shalin posted his top 5 food WTFs, which stirred some debate in the comments section. We were partial to Bruce R's contribution to the conversation:

Thank you, Kevin. In order to assist with your effort in avoiding these terms I'm offering some replacements:

Gastropub-->Grub-n-chug

Flight-->Menagerie

Artisan-->Uppity

Deconstructed-->Exploded

Aioli-->Grease

These are only suggestions. You probably already have alternatives that you prefer.

Bruce R, we hope you enjoy your major award.

And by the way, we love that you politely reminded us that we don't *have* to use these terms. See you at the grub-n-chug for a menagerie of wine, some uppity bread, an exploded salad and a side of grease!
