...you are offended by coarse language (to put it mildly).

I don't get it.

OMG! At a loss for words, absorbing the site. Seriously? Best new Blog?

 

[mariadnoca]

WTH? Do they win by votes and someone stuffed the ballot box?

 

[mariadnoca]

Someone has som espalin' to do.

Sadly, it will have a following, but hopefully it will get shut down ASAP

I don't know, I kind of like it. Yes, it has A LOT of swearing,

but I do think the recipes sound good. I have one last nerve and everyone is getting on it. Reading this made me smile, because that is pretty much how I feel right now, and I don't have to do the swearing. smileys/smile.gif

 

[evan]

I don't get it either. It's just sad smileys/frown.gif

 

[heather_in_sf]

Reminds me of the Gizoogle filter that takes any site and makes it gangster..

sounds like someone just made their blog that way.

Remember Marc in Seattle? His blog is genuinely funny and he's coarse but it's done intelligently. Plus he can cook circles around me. This blog is just not funny.

I see no point to the swearing, (have you watched any R rated movies lately/)

but the recipes sound awesome. I love the grapefruit guac. idea.

 

[cynupstateny]

I like some of the recipes but wouldn't frequent the site. Guess I'm old school.

 

[steve2-in-la]

I like it. (But I suppose that surprises no one). Never had a problem with language, just intent.

It's only because I'm afraid of scarring delicate sensibilities here that I express myself like a pseudo-respectable human being. Otherwise, I'd be . . . using the vernacular of our peers. (And I worked in "the arts" for 30 years . . . I know that vernacular EXCEPTIONALLY well.)

 

[melissa-dallas]

I tend to have a foul mouth too I try to act like a lady here.

 

[florisandy]

I don't get it either. I don't think unnecessary vulgar adjectives belong in a food blog IMHO.

 

[mariadnoca]

I can/do cuss like a sailor, but this gives proper swearing a bad name. Kids these days-no style smileys/wink.gif

 

[meryl]

One word - immature.

 

[mariadnoca]

Or should I say - it is in/leaves a bad taste. Not a good thing a food blog. Plus recipes look meh

 

[mariadnoca]

Always liked Marc's blog - damn -> Liquore di Anice Arancia (Orange Star Anise Liqueur)

Now I can't unsee that!

[sallybr]

I don't have a problem with curse words...

... but honestly in that site they are over-used to the point that it gets old and silly way too fast

I suppose he managed to get all his friends to vote and tell their friends, in a chain-like reaction. I don't see how Saveur would pick that as the best new food blog.

You say potato, I say @/#!%. I dunno, it seems to be meant as a joke, and it would be funny to hear

a talented comedian read it gangster-style, but the joke would have to get old after a while.
