Bam! Why I Consider Food One of My Primary Discourses

When I was about 10 years old I started watching The Food Network. I loved this TV station. My favorite chef was Emeril Lagasse, no questions asked. My second might have been Rachel Ray, but only because she was pretty and had the ingenious idea of using an empty bowl as a trash can so you didn’t have to move away from your cooking space. I grew up with this. When I wasn’t watching The Food Network I experimented in the kitchen. My Dad encouraged my passions. One time I experimented with a toffee sauce and it all burnt to the bottom of the pan. I didn’t get in trouble. Another time I caught my Dad’s birthday carrot cake on fire in the oven and he still let me off the hook. Another primary discourse: grace.

But the discourse I want to focus on at the moment is food and my passion for it. I have always enjoyed it and as I get older I discover more and my curiosity continues to peak. This clip showcases the man whom added to my discourse’s language and puts a sound level to my internal excitement over food. Bon Appétit!
