Evil Foodie Darklord Amanda Hesser Returns

hesser.jpgWe're going to give you good warning before we continue with the following item: the news is so grim — so repulsive — that, if we could, we'd rate the following NC-17.

Our spies have gotten their hands on an advance of this Sunday's New York Times magazine and, much to our chagrin, the bottom coverline reads, "Amanda Hesser Confects a New Food Section." That's right, the Times' former interim food critic Hesser has emerged from her dank, spoon-bejeweled cave to helm a new section entitled "The Way We Eat." We're rather certain that Hesser's version of the way "we" dine isn't going to apply to many of us, unless she considers our hot dog diet an acceptable amuse-bouche to the main course of ramen noodles. But just like we stare at gruesome car accidents, we're going to read this section at least once and, shortly thereafter, die on the inside.
