Two entirely unrelated critical takes on mimetic sensation This is Why You’re Fat:
The St. Louis Riverfront Times:
If the Alinea cookbook is the Playboy of food porn, then this is the hardcore midget-on-clown action.
Our very own Chicagoist:
There’s the kind of food pr0n that Stolpman and others embrace, with beautiful shots of carefully crafted dishes. I like to call that “culinary erotica.” Then there’s the food photography equivalent of Hustler’s “Beaver Hunt,” with a little bit of snuff film added, for good measure.
Food and sex, people. It’s all anyone ever thinks about.
