David Brooks Sandwich Column

This has been all over the internet and Brooks has been getting mocked. David Brooks is like Thomas Friedman's slightly less retarded brother. It is a wonder that their columns get read at all. David Brooks is consistently wrong and off the mark and is basically just name recognition over content. He is so bad that Dan Carlin is a fan of him. The sandwich bit is gold.

Fucking pure AIDS

Recently I took a friend with only a high school degree to lunch. Insensitively, I led her into a gourmet sandwich shop. Suddenly I saw her face freeze up as she was confronted with sandwiches named “Padrino” and “Pomodoro” and ingredients like soppressata, capicollo and a striata baguette. I quickly asked her if she wanted to go somewhere else and she anxiously nodded yes and we ate Mexican

Fuck off yankees, fuck straight off.

I saw the Barros Jarpa and I begin to shake as I wet my pants a little. I got ptsd from the bacon Triplets. It was like a sharp lash across my back as I begin to cry.

I mean WTF. If you have stepped in a New York style Jewish deli anywhere in the world, you would know what those things mean. I mean Pomodoro is tomato for fuck sakes. Need not be upper middle class.

Or she looked at the price of that "Pomodoro" sandwich and decided that a "gourmet" $15 was too much for a sandwich.

What is David Brooks' editor doing? Is there no oversight for his column? Everyone was like: "That sounds great David. This is the kind of cutting edge stuff the New York Times should be writing about."


Wouldn't a Mexican restaurant have more foreign words too? I'm sure his high school educated friend was happy to be included in this Edward R. Murrow level journalism.

I get what Brooks was trying to say. I didn't read it until daralon posted here, but earlier today I read Rod Dreher's take (http://www.theamericanconservative.com/ ... ure-class/).

A pomodoro is a trans-mato, to a white-trash fuck like me.
