I always have to laugh about the people that visit blogs and then feel that their opinion is SO important that they just must share it with you. Like you are suddenly going to change the way you write because some random a**hole sent you an e-mail.

I like your ugly vulgarity, as it goes well with mine! And even if I didn't, I certainly wouldn't feel the need to tell you about it. I would simply stop visiting your blog.

Honestly!

Wait, they thought the food industry had a touch of class? Obviously someone who has never worked in the food industry.

Vomitosis is funny, pretentious assholes are not.

Please! Obviously someone not aquainted with the food industry at all. Class? Class? excuse me, treat us like your servants, pay us like second class citizens, and then expect perfection in our every action. Whoever they are, they need a good dose of vulgarity!

Eh. She can eff-off with her high & mighty primness. I like you just the way you are.

um, why did this person VISIT a blog called "Diary of the FOOD WHORE" if they don't like the word whore?

She's right you know. Seattle only has the classiest restaurants, and being from this city, you should know EVERY one is.

I mean. Look at Beth's cafe on Aurora. It's like the swankiest joint around.

And making up words such as "vomitosis" (no matter how much it made me laugh) is really not appropriate for blogs. Because making up words is strictly forbidden in the US.

Cheers for always making me laugh and for taking people's comments like this *really* to heart.

And you're right, Nordstrom's takes back anything.

I for one love every one of your blogs. A nice dose of humor about an industry I know nothing about. I must admit, while I haven't been to Beth's in 20 years, I miss rolling in at 2:00 a.m. and asking for an 18 egg omelet with all the hash browns we could stomach. I digress, it takes all types and if that reader characterizes your musings as vulgar, he/she would be appalled at what vulgarity exists in the rest of the world.

I just started reading your blog and it's hilarious! That woman is taking herself way too seriously.

That's weird. I believe I initially Googled "vulgar vomiting food whores" and got the link to your site. I'm so happy they lead me to you! Maybe she needs a laxative and a Lemon Drop.

That pretentious idiot is probably the same person who goes to functions and sits on her a** and talks about everybody else like she is the Queen of Sheeba! Usually people who point the finger at others are actually guilty of being the same way! I wouldn't be surprised at all if she is the most vulgar and rude person to live with ever (and not in a nice vulgar way...like our favourite food whore). Food Whore....your 'vulgarness' is refreshing....it only states the obvious truth about things that most people are too chicken to say outloud!

Thank you for all your vulgarnes. We love it!

And, I'll bet s/he doesn't tip more than 10% no matter how much the bill was and how good the service was, because it would be so very vulgar and unclassy to "over tip."

Bah, idjits like this just annoy me!

What wine goes with ugly vulgarity?

The answer I usually give to people like this is : "Huh, that's so weird! You say that as if I care about your opinion."

Carmen, I doubt she does much sitting. It would be too uncomfortable with that giant stick up her ass.

I am laughing so hard at A Nony Mous,,,,,it's true s/he probably does have a stick permenately wedge up the arce.

FW, you rock and if you are vulgar then so am I.

Keep up the vulgar humor, I check in daily for it.

XOXOXO

Vulgarity, thy name is Food Whore.

That cow hasn't worked in food service apparently. I've never worked in any food place, from swank to shite, that wasn't the walking embodiment of 'Vulgarity'.

Your ugly vulgarity and your sense of humor is THE reason I check in every day just to see if you've posted.

The weirdo. I have to agree with Spacemom... if you are offended by the word *whore* then why are you visiting a site entitled "Diary of a Food Whore?"

Bizarre.

We love you FW, ignore those who don't!

To these people you should respond:

"Lighten up with a Lemon Drop" (and include the recipe)

I am still wondering what DID happen with the Thanksgiving pie crust... homemade? red box at the food store? You promised us you'd let us know! Or, did I somehow miss that post? Please let me know!!!

Vulgar is damned funny, or we wouldn't all keep coming back for more. I prefer to think of it as telling it like it is. Why don't people with a stick up their butts just stay away? Why do they insist on chastising the rest of us?

Love it. Now what would be sweet justice is if she's already used your services for some trick. That would be awesome. Eat crow much?

You are our favorite Food Whore and I insist you keep the vulgarity you have, it fits you well and gives all of us what we're looking for in a our day. A good laugh.

I'm not sure what made me laugh more, the fact that this person obviously has no sense of humor, their retarded need to call you names, or my favorite, the fact that they said they thought the restaurant industry has some class. Class if overrated anyway, and I'm sorry, but you don't put creative people in any industry and come out with all boring little corporate robots. That's why the boring little corporate robots are in the suits. So they're marked. Aside from all that mini rant, this person is a jerk and bviously delusional. Want vulgar? How about "don't let the cyber door hit you in the ass".

Well I personally have missed you all week. and your vulgarity. or whatever. I think your anecdotes are a great way to blow off steam and give the rest of us a good laugh. SOMEONE needs to blow off a little steam before she explodes :)

Three cheers for vulgarity! I always let loose a little 'yay!' when I see that you've updated, and since I'm not a foodie or in any way connected to your purported subject matter, I can only conclude that it's the vulgarity that brings me back each time. (That or the fact that you're an unapologetic, strong and vibrant woman who doesn't back down, and whose writing is excellent. One of the two.)

Good thing she doesn't visit other food blogs then, eh? The food industry is full of tattooed, pierced, foul language spewing people, that's what makes it so great! We're artists, people!

I once got reprimanded because someone was offended by my use of the word "butt" in reference to one's arse. Nevermind I had spent 40 hours planning the GD event, she had to be offended by the word butt.

Keep it up, FW, and I would like more vulgarity, please, so that the assholes would go away.

black humor is the linguafranca of the foodworker world,no? this woman should have to work in a restaurant/catering kitchen for just one trip!! how else can we get thru dealing with idiots like her?

Oh for the love of cocksucking motherfucking Christ.
Misanthrope, they name is Raging Lunatic.
(Not hating in your direction---but you knew that.)

I don't know which is more funny, the offended person's e-mail or your comment on it. Anyone who has ever worked in restaurants would know that kitchen people sound more like raging lunatic's potty mouth than your writing. I haven't worked in restaurants for fifteen years and I still have to restrain from being vulgar every hour of the day. It ain't easy. If only an avocado mask would make it go away....

FW, this poor confused bitch would die if she ever set foor into a "high class" kitchen and heard the language in the place. If I don't hear the term c*&t at least 10 times in a dinner shift we arent' busy. Seriously, a restaurant kitchen is the place for mavericks, renegades and pirates, those of us that cannot sit in a cubicle or answer the phone. And yes uptight lady I do work in a very high class place where most of the servers have college degrees and out back we make serious fun of people like you.
FW, keep up the "vulgarity" that is what keeps the tone of this blog real and tell that bitch to kiss your cardomom scented ass!

My piecrust is definitely worse. I wouldn't worry about it. Rap music is even more vulgar than you, and look at how popular it is! Besides, there's always confession.

Well I hope this person never reads kitchen confidential. Keep up the honest writing!

heheh, I'm surprised she/he didn't use the royal "We " or snottily refer to themselves as "one". I wonder if they're from the Bucket Residence? (pronounced Boo-kay).

Hilarious about the Nordstrom bit. You might want to try LL Bean -- their returns are unconditional, even for ugly vulgarity.

By the way, is there pretty vulgarity? And, you might want to think about a t-shirt: The Food Whore (on the front), Home of Ugly Vulgarity (on the back). I'd buy one and wear it with ever so much ugly vulgarity.

Keep up your great blog. You always make me laugh, especially when I need it the most.

Baby, you are a touch of class in the Food Industry.

Obviously she's totally wrong -- you would have no information she is interested in reading.

Very amusing response to a very amusing email.

Some people are better off not sharing their opinions.

Thanks for sharing yours!

What I love about your blog is the fact that it's such a real example of life in a restuarant/cafe/catering situation (having been apart of the food industry for years).

Vulgar? Good God no. Real? Funny? Abso-bloody-lutely!!

So to that arsehole that felt the need to pass judgement for no apparent reason... EAT SHIT AND DIE BITCH!!!

Now there's some vulgarity worth complaining about.

FW – I love every ugly vulgarity you write! Obviously this is someone who has never had to work with the public, catering to their vulgar kind. Did I mention how much I hate the public…but I digress. FW, to borrow a Tim Gunnism, “Carry on, make it work!”

The title of your blog is what first attracted me to you. I knew you had to have a fabulous sense of humor if you were willing to call yourself a whore in front of God and your mother.

The uptight arsehole that composed the email can piss off.

I find your "vulgarity" charming and still informative. Who was that idiot?

Oh give me a break!

It must be morons like this author who allow horrific violence on TV while simultaneously prohibiting the use of words like "shit" and "fuck". As if their pristine little children have never heard them (mine certainly have - and not just from my wife and me).
