This weekend I fell victim to food poisoning after attending a surf n' turf-esque party on Saturday. The culprit: the lobster, and I'll leave it at that. Not in my usual mood too look up food blogs and succulent pictures of dessert, I remembered this article that I read for a class last semester. It's titled "Consider the Lobster" written by the late David Foster Wallace. It's a pretty philosophical piece, given that it was published in Gourmet Magazine. I particularly enjoy the writing style, and I love seeing food writing pursued a different way than the strong imagery and details, that we are accustomed to reading.

Poor you. Feel better soon!
