Random Thought, Redux
Blast! My stupid Livejournal Mobile app cut off my last post! Here, then, is the new, fixed version.
In the past decade, French fries have undergone something of a renaissance- it almost seems compulsory for yuppie eateries to have some interesting twist on the French fry on their menu, whether it be sweet potato fries or double-fried fries or what have you. And yet onion rings have not undergone a similar process, at least so far as I can tell. They’re basically the same as they’ve always been, which is strange to me. Surely the nostalgia which led young hipster chefs to reinvent the cupcake and the grilled cheese sandwich and, of course, the French fry would lead them to devote a similar amount of effort to improving the onion ring. But nothing. And onion rings could certainly use the love- they’ve gotten a bit stale when compared to their hamburger-accompanying rivals. Therefore, I call upon the numberless legions of internet foodies to stop devoting all your energy to figuring out how to add bacon to every dish imaginable, and start thinking of shit to do with onion rings. Though actually, if you want to add bacon to onion rings, I think I’d be receptive to that idea. Certainly more so than the maple syrup & bacon lollipops that have been cropping up lately.
Alright, lunch is over. Back to work.
