Support the independent voice of Houston and help keep the future of Houston Press free.
Life is full of enough rules as it is, and the food world especially can be easily overtaken by snobbery and excess etiquette. To combat this soul-crushing feeling, there are a few areas in which I willfully misbehave -- things which I stubbornly continue to do even though I know better because they make me happy and they're not hurting anyone so sod off, the lot of you.
What are your food acts of defiance?
Mixing the fake green wasabi into my soy sauce
Slicing the rind off my Brie before I eat it
Drinking iced tea with four packets of Sweet 'n Low in it
Eating escolar
Ordering Jack in the Box tacos at midnight
Cutting food with my fork
Taking iPhone photos of really pretty plates of food
Calling it a kolache instead of a klobasnek
Licking really good gravy or sauce off the back of a knife
Blowing bubbles into my Coke with my straw

Keep the Houston Press Free... Since we started the Houston Press, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Houston, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Houston with no paywalls.
