that chicken tenders article is great; it's a food without a history but it has really clear and strong associations for people. it also gets at something that's an open secret among a lot of cooks and chefs and food critics: that very often when they get off work, cheffy food is exactly what they *don't* want. they want salty, greasy, simple stuff that isn't cerebral or imbued with zen balance or whatevs.

maybe this is a PNWism bc i don't see anyone else complaining about it, but i really hate "i'll do a ..." which i often hear when people are ordering drinks. "what can i get you?" -- "i'll do a pbr" or whatever.

Think I make a distinction between special items, and standards, like, "I'll have the soup," but "I'll have a salad."
