Everything looked a lot better when you were posting old Instagram pictures of popular places in Austin and pretending they were in the middle of nowhere and you were only paying $15 for a huge spread. The joke has gotten kind of stale at this point.

>you have to have a very high IQ to understand IPA's
I don't believe that IQ has anything to do with taste. It's mostly intuitive, and a cognizant understanding of "theoretical terpenes" is not a precondition for appreciation - though empirical experience along with age very well may be.
>the IPA's nihilistic bitterness, which is deftly woven into its characterisation- its personal philosophy draws heavily from pine tar, for instance
I'm not sure how I follow your connecting bitterness to nihilism, let alone "pine tar", which I assume was meant as some kind of hyperbolic metonymy.
>a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons
It's been awhile, but the reference must be cryptic because it makes just as little sense as the "bitterness" and "pine tar". I'm not even sure I'd call Turgenev "existential". And the fact that IPAs are still primarily consumed by the boomers who popularized it in the 90's when they started homebrewing in their garages as a way to cope with their midlife crises while never confronting conspicuous consumption only confuses things further.
>those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as DogfishHead's genius wit
Dogfish Head is almost intentionally unwitty. You have more wit than Dogfish Head and you somehow managed to type all that out without even hinting at it.

A grilled cheese is traditionally made on a flat-top grill. This isn't controversial and shouldn't be a head scratcher.

Nobody barbecues burgers. They are grilled, but the backyard/outdoor get-togethers where they are often served are called "barbecues", because barbecuing is an all day process where people would get together and drink and then eat while the meat was being smoked, so the word kind of just got expanded to mean any kind of outdoor social gathering centered around food.

>grills french bread spread with garlic butter, calls it broiling
Now you're just blatantly saying "my way right, your way wrong!" I know everything is upside down in Australia, but that doesn't mean you have to talk out of your ass.

>get a life
The goal is to find a nice hapa girl with an Ivy pedigree and buy some property in New Zealand to settle down and start a family, but hey, we all have to start somewhere, and sometimes knowing what you want is more important than settling for what you have.

It's mindboggling that there are people recommending Boar's Head this far into the 21st century. The last time that shit was considered high quality most of the country still thought of Subway as the place to go when you were in the mood for good deli meat.

I have an in-law who's a chiropractor and he often tells stories of people coming in for their first adjustment and finding out that they've been living with back pain for most of their lives and didn't realize it because it was so constant they were just used to it. That's you. You're so used to the taste of iodized salt you don't even realize that your life is suffering.

It's not bait. Just facts.

Thoughts on brunch? Is it too middle class?
