Towering Taste Tester Pillows

'Do you ever feel the trend to serve meals in towers is getting ridiculous?'

Bad for you but to die for

It turns out they don't go together so well,

Harsh Mellows.

"Is Pinot Noir where you want to be?"

"Now, in contrast to the last olive oil you tasted, this one is infused with sixty-five more dollars."

And then in Italy. . . "But I really don't like bubblegum gelato."

"They won't even try their palate cleansers!"

Wine Tasting and Wine Guzzling

"Your meal sounded nice."

"I detect a subtle bouquet of money."

"For the first half hour, I was, like, really there. Enchanted. But I found the wild-quail confit so disappointing that not even the fig reduction on the poached pear could get me back."

Cereal Tasting.

Avocado Timeline

Ethnic food springing out of a menu.

'Apparently, my wine-tasting computer liked the '86 Haut Brion a bit too much - it didn't leave any for us.'

"More?"

Real coffee vs usual vending machine stuff

'Here ya' go, sweetie. Our Key Lime Pie.'

Big Burgers.

'I'd recommend the white wine.'

'...or, if you're watching your cholesterol, we also have thousand-year-old egg substitutes.'

'Why do my parents have to be professional chefs?!'

"It's all good – but some of it is better."

'This sugar substitute is perfect except for one thing. It's salty.'

"Jeffrey eats everything, Mom, because no one has told him what he doesn't like."

Dijon Vu

"I am listening to my body. My body says yuk!"

'Women cook to feed the soul...men cook to feed the ego.'

Chef swatting flies into a bowl in a sushi bar.

"One man's dirty water is another man's Earl Grey."

"Do you know our soup is world renowned?"

"Robust, full-bodied bouquet with just a hint of bitter, mean-spirited despair."

'Your trouble is that you don't appreciate good food.'

It's not a tongue depressor, it's a used popsicle stick. If you can name the flavor, your taste buds pass the test.
