Yes. Was thinking the same thing after reading a post of "what drink to order when the boss is buying..." who gives a rip. Drink what you like. Not to go off(topic) on a tangent but I also think it's stupid that people make a fuss about putting ketchup on a hot dog. It's a fricking hot dog!!!

Glass let's not forget this is the same guy who doesn't understand how the fashion industry works in regards to how busty beautiful supermodels for VS are.

Wow. I don't know where to begin.

You know literally nothing about any of that.

I believe it is a gimmick, I went to a beer pairing a few months ago and the beer tasted like beer and food was great. I don't believe the beer helped the flavor of the food or vice versa in anyway. Now wine may be different since the wine is supposed to open up to palate but I've never done one of those.

This comparison isn't even in the same ballpark. The people who worry about what other people put on hot dogs are those who think wine and food pairings are meaningless but don't want to be seen as totally indiscriminate.

This is something I don't understand, restaurants and people who make a big deal over "beverage pairings".


Idiot...
