'Three Tacos Is Me Being A Lady' And Other Gems From The Overlords Food Slack

By Lord Castleton | Food Porn | July 13, 2017 |

We have an Overlords Slack channel for the daily chit-chat and water-cooler stuff that you don’t get as a writer sitting in front of a blank screen and a blinking cursor. I’m usually so busy with kids that I pop over later in the day and scroll up to see all the interesting things I missed.

The other day I was guffawing at my desk as I read through the food conversation that I missed.

Topics Covered:

1. Is a hot dog a sandwich?
2. Gravy or no gravy?
3. Team Cake vs. Team Pie
4. What is a ‘Chicago Sunroof’?
5. Nuts or no nuts?
6. Should vegetables be allowed in any dessert?
7. What is a tart?
8. Is cheesecake cake or pie?
9. Is carrot cake the Mike Pence of cakes?
10. Are galettes a real thing?
11. Is crust a journey or a destination?
12. The difference between a calzone and stromboli.
13. Ranking croissants on the pyramid of all baked items.
14. Canned ‘food’.
15. Boxed ‘food’.
16. How food choices reveal your childhood tax bracket.
17. Taco Hell.
18. Does a half-sandwich count as a taco?
19. Is a taco a sandwich?
20. Are burritos and wraps the same thing?
21. Should burritos contain rice?
22. When are you ‘done eating?’
23. What’s musubi?

Brace yourself, because it’s a journey. And you’ll also see Seth refer to ‘here’ — where he is two times. Once he says ‘here’ is Los Angeles. The next time he says ‘here’ is Boston. But he was in Maine at the time. Drunkard.

Anyway, despite Seth’s involvement, it’s inspired. I love these people so much. How often do you get to work with hilarious, intelligent people that you admire? Like, never. Never. I can’t even begin to explain the amount of joy these wingnuts bring me every day. Hope you all laugh as much as I did.

Enjoy!
