F*@k It!!

You dirty bastards thought I was saying... oh, never mind. Fork it. That's right. I hereby defend my preference for eating various hand-foods with a fork. I have often been ridiculed for eating pizza with a fork. What some of these people don't know is that I also will occasionally eat burgers with a fork. I wouldn't go as far as to eat a Snickers bar with a fork and knife, but there are times when it makes perfect sense.

If you ask me, hot pizza always calls for a fork. Thin crust, thick crust, Chicago style--hot = fork. Chicago style will, of course, always require a fork. Regular thick or thin crust should be eaten with the hands if it is cold. It would just be absurd to eat cold pizza with a fork. Seriously. Warm pizza is a bit of a can't lose proposition. Eat it any way you like, and it's perfectly acceptable.

Burgers. Of course burgers are hand-food, except for that as the author of this blog I can make up the rules any way I please. Homemade burgers, Grillers (best ever), drive-thru burgers and the like should of course be eaten by hand. This is not debatable. However, if you are at a legitimate restaurant, the fork is almost required. The Hillstone restaurant group makes ridiculously amazing veggie burgers that would be a disaster if eaten with your hands. Factor in that you will more likely set the burger down makes it even more appropriate for forking. If you don't know any better and make the mistake of thinking TGI Friday's is a really good restaurant, then you are wrong. Most of their food sucks. It's not a good restaurant. Neither is Red Robin. Garbage. You should know by now how I feel about In-N-Out. Make it Taylor's Refresher and it's an amazing hand job. Perverts. You just eat it with your hands. The whole blog title put your mind in the gutter. You should get help.

This isn't really mind-blowing material. I just had to get it off my chest, to defend my forking in spite of repeated head-shaking when my hand-eater friends see me eat. That, and I've been in the middle of a month-long creative block. More blogs coming soon.

Today, just one day later, I come home to find pizza on the table. It was warm. I ate it with my hands. It felt right.
