Food Media Horror Stories In the spirit of honesty and good ol’ fashioned gossip, here’s a tasting of the worst dramas we’ve faced in our time.

this is the problem with learning how to do drugs from internet strangers. you're supposed to learn how to do drugs from the nice ex-con dishwasher at your first restaurant job.

we are losing original recipes.

coping by subskeeting instead of calling somebody a dumbass bitch, did they get dropped on their head in childhood ya know

FROM FARM TO MF STORE

this is perhaps not groundbreaking if you don't live within 300 miles of the braum's dairy in tuttle, oklahoma, which produces the world's most elite chocolate milk, but boy it really perked up my wednesday

i'm really upset that i just figured out today that i can simply buy chocolate milk and put a shot (or two) of espresso in there

subscribe to ravenous and @shokdiesel.bsky.social will voluntarily consume legal poison! it's a win-win!

this does not stop creeps from hitting on you, but it will help offer some plausible deniability if everyone knows you're a humorless bitch

this is a great read and also why my philosophy is to simply never be nice or friendly

i didn't know this existed and you are sure right!!!

A graphic that has the title of “Our Ethics | AI” and below reads: “We will never use generative AI to write our stories or create our visual or audio content. We also will never use our or our freelancers' work to train generative AI.”

Big media won’t make this promise, but Ravenous will. We guarantee that we will never publish anything made with generative AI — no articles written with ChatGPT, no uncanny art with seven fingers. We actually speak with people and taste their dishes, write our own work, and value human creativity.
