Why Forkbastard?

Because I have three great hobbies in my life. Video games, hating stupid people, and food. Before this, I'd created Internet outposts for two of those hobbies. Now I've covered all three.

Forkbastard will cover the whole food world. My kitchen, restaurants, TV shows, food politics, tools, ingredients, junk food, you name it.

For those of you new to my writing, yes, I'm an opinionated bastard. Yes, I use all the words in the language, including the filthy ones. That's how it is, and how it will be. If that's not for you, well, the internet is a big place.

For those of you who Aare familiar with my work, especially at You Are Dumb, you may notice that this site breaks every single rule I set for myself over there. This IS a blog, and will update accordingly. There are comments. There is a Twitter account. This is all on purpose, because I want to see what will happen.

Who the fuck am I? I'm a self taught home cook and foodnerd. I live in Minneapolis and work for the government. I can slow-cook black beans in homemade stock all day, and have Taco Bell for dinner because I'm tired from making the damn beans. My relationship with food is just like yours. Complicated. Which means there's a lot to talk about.
