Newsflash: Potheads Like Food, Work in Kitchens

I'm not even sure if this article warrants a response beyond "no duh." Really, New York Times — there are actual chefs who smoke actual marijuana before they come up with actual recipes? Well, color me shocked!!! Next thing we know, you'll be telling us that musicians like to smoke pot too!!! As a foodie and, um, big fan of, uh, cooking with herbs, I'm sort of offended that this is even considered newsworthy. What, 50 years of munchie jokes didn't make ya think we, um, herbalists, might know what we were doing in the kitchen?

Now if they were talking to chefs about cooking with weed rather than just on weed, that would be something. You just know Anthony Bourdain can make a mean pot brownie, and frankly I could use some recipes. And as for that term of yours, New York Times, that "haute stoner cuisine" — are you high? That is possibly the dumbest shit I've heard since, I dunno, the last time I got stoned with somebody else. I can only assume the interviews went something like this.

Now, dear reader, sensitive though the topic is, I'd like to know your favorite post-Mary Jane munchie. I'm partial to pouring barbecue sauce on everything, but I draw the line at putting whipped cream on Hot Pockets. That is a noxious combination.
