Bacon is (still, always) good. Calling it "SO OVER" in this post was meant to make fun of the fact that it was ever "in." Food trends are dumb, though they do sometimes bring neglected-but-delicious foods into more stores and onto more menus (hello, Brussels sprouts!).

The $3.50 martini at Von's is nowhere near the best martini in town; it is not even good. Calling its gin "Christ-punchingly bad" and the comparison to gasoline in last week's Bar Exam was meant to illustrate this.

As you were.
