Horses šŸ“ - Hollywood

Yeah, Eric is a good/nice dude. If his shtick isnā€™t for you thatā€™s fine. But heā€™s genuinely passionate about food, restaurants, etc

Thatā€™s more than fair, though I donā€™t totally follow the cynical age part. I have, obviously, no comments about him as an actual human and am not commenting on him as a real life person, only his media persona.

Probably the narcissism of small differences, but I do find his media/public imageā€¦ frustrating. To me itā€™s classic hipster stuff: irony soaked, pretending not to care about being cool while actually being super invested. Thereā€™s something clubby and winking about it all without quite owning that. Foodheim is really not for me but Iā€™m in the minority I guess.

Somewhat ironically this is prob the reason people found the Horses article obnoxious. Anyway, Iā€™m sure most people donā€™t come on here to read my dorm room analysis of food culture figuresā€¦

Hilarious. I was following Foodheim (stealing that) on IG, but it got to be too much.

Maybe, but the menu did offer a ā€œKiss the Chefā€ option for $1,000. And by 10:30 p.m., a server reported that a male diner had bought the first kiss ā€” on the cheek ā€” with Ms. Johnson.

WTF???

Kara Swisher characterize Billions as ā€œwealth pornā€. Think it applies here.
