I was looking forward to this when you posted on IG and you don’t disappoint! I’ve been getting so mad about this shit for so long that I barely register the endless hamburger parade of bullshit. It’s exhausting!!!
This is great!! As I was veganizing all the NYT Cookie Week cookies in December I kept thinking about this, too, like, in this day and age to have no one, not one person, be like "Here's a cookie that doesn't rely on tons of mass-produced eggs and butter," is a...choice. Not to say my reliance on coconut oil for veganizing is a sustainability dream or anything, but it just struck me that the NYT could use the opportunity of a big Holiday Cookie Week to talk about climate, creativity, etc. But they would definitely prefer not to.
Thank you, so glad you enjoyed!! I actually meant to go into the above in my final post, and finish the series with a big old...downer, haha! But I ran out of time and kept things light. So I'm glad someone is highlighting the Patty Melt delusions!
Lol at the exclamation mark bit! I really appreciate your critique of food journalism, it’s a nice pair with some things I’m thinking about where the writing I want to do fits with the bigger picture. My training is in journalism but It doesn’t really fit with what I want to do anymore. Trying to get my thoughts to coalesce 🤨
I really appreciate your comment, thank you! I love your writing and think you’re on the right path – FWIW I feel like when we’re uncomfortable and uncertain that’s a sign that we’re digging in the right spot

That is such a great comment, I really appreciate it. And that thing you did with Cookie Week was incredible!

Okay I just spit out my salad reading the lubricated comment. Good piece, and thanks closing with a little levity.
