Food Thoughts

Just to clear this up from the beginning, this is not about the thoughts you get where you are hungry or scrolling through the pictures of that restaurant you have been wanting to go to. By “food thoughts” I am referring to all that encompasses the conversation of food and its cultural, social, and artistic influence on human life. At a glance this may seem like a melodramatic analysis, but I’ve always seen food as this multi-sensory art form to express and ingest an individual’s creativity. A multi-medium canvas that spans even more mediums in its communication (pictures, artworks, writing, etc.). Being such a layered concept and one that draws the attention of my own creative expression, I feel it fitting that I have this category to analyze and detail the higher concepts involving different food mediums and formats. A place where I can delve into my own thoughts on the complexities that is the expression of food.

Here you’ll see my take on the importance of extremes, views on where the food world has, is, and will be, and any other meaningful impact I could possibly analyze for any label you could give to any set of culinary distinctions. With a hint of irony, I title this category of posts as “food thoughts,” but, as with anything, there is more than what’s on the surface and this allows me to avoid the semantics of some fancy title. These are my food thoughts and, although I can’t guarantee you’ll agree with what I have to say, I will guarantee the topics will serve as good starting point for some food reflection.
