NYMag: When Did Young People Start Spending 25% of Their Paychecks on Pickled Lamb’s Tongues?

Welcome to the lives of everyone at Six Taste. However, I’m sure our paychecks are more like 75% dedicated to food, 20% to gas, and 5% everything else.

 They talk about food and restaurants incessantly, and their social lives are organized around them. Some are serious home cooks who seek to duplicate the feats of their chef-heroes in their own kitchens; others barely use a stove. Above all, they are avowed culinary agnostics whose central motivation is simply to hunt down and enjoy the next most delicious meal, all the better if no one else has yet heard of it. Dish snapshots and social-network check-ins are a given.
