We published this gastronomic grimoire because we’re sick of the usual bullshit food magazines. They suck: recipes flatulently proclaiming themselves to be “the ONLY fill-in-the-blank you EVER need” or “THE. BEST. WHATEVER. EVER.” with the buffoonish gravitas of a mulletted slacker extolling the virtues of nunchucks. The four-page ads for antidepressants and dick pills and luxury SUV’s are a bore. And the brash young chef those chumps drool over can’t possibly afford the $2500 ten-inch chef’s knife that they’re pimping on the page opposite his pictorial.
And why, in the age of the internet, that series of tubes which funnels the world’s supply of porn and conspiracy theories straight to your brain, would we publish a print-only magazine? Because: fuck you, that’s why. Gastronomie D’Enfer is a handcrafted item, and as such it’s meant to be held, to be touched, to be torn apart. Much like your mom. We don’t publish advertisements, because once you take a guy’s money you’ve got to suck his cock. Besides, as anyone who’s ever done it knows, writing obviously isn’t about the money. It’s about fucking shit up, just like Jean-Paul Marat.

I saw a post from a chef friend of mine that made me laugh so hard. It was something from your magazine. So, naturally I forwarded the photo to my girlfriend who laughed. So hard. The chain of laughter continued. Just so happens my link of restaurant friends live here in LA: a place where ridiculous food trends give birth and often times grow up to be pretentious teenagers.
Is it possible to physically call someone on the phone and order backlogs in addition to subscribing?
Thanks so much for a wonderful belly-splitting laugh. I almost spilled my beer.
Your chef,
Nathan
Thank you for the best 30 minutes of mindfully masterbating my thoughts with text.
Your zine sucks, it’s the same hack foodie shit you take pot shots at with an added layer of in your face ironic racism and sexism. Which is to say you’ll probably be fairly successful.
Somebody’s awfully cranky this morning! What article, exactly, are you offended by?
