With respect to what you deem 'hipster' food -- tongue sandwiches are purchased at a Kosher deli and countless people (Jewish and goyim) have been eating them for eons. I tried tongue and it tasted like a hearty bologna.
Bagels -- also brought over by our Jewish friends. Good grief -- my rabbi friends are far from hipsters!

As for tuna tartare -- don't knock it til you've tried it

I would love a good buttermilk biscuit and real sweet tea, and haven't tried fried catfish (yet.) It's inevitable, though.
The NYT has, hands down, the best Dining and Wine Section in the US, not to mention the book reviews, and the Style and Art sections.
Too bad most folks dont realize that.

Tongue? I steadfastly refuse to eat food that's been in someone else's mouth.

It's unfortunate, however, that their news journalism has hit some rough patches. The color sections are a different animal.

Too bad you have to buy a so-called newspaper that's written and edited by unreconstructed 60's Marxist hippes to get those sections. Pay for that? Hah...I wouldn't give the NYT the steam off my stool sample.

How do you know this to be true?

Our superior water allows us to make better pizza dough, bagels, and bialys than anywhere else.
Isn't the water in NYC from elsewhere?
Again,this might be a little bit of regional bias.

Okay,some people don't know much about cooking.

But then, Outback isnt doing that kind of thing, nor are they using real butter on the flat top.
No idea what they use,but it just isn't that good whatever they do.And yet,the place is always packed....

I worked in restaurants for over a decade, and still take a keen interest in cooking, and food in general.
I was a Chef for over 15 years,started as a dishwasher,worked my way up...so glad to be done with that...

Nobody but yourself is making you wallow in ignorance.
I have the feeling that you wouldnt know good food if it bit you in the azz.

Hipsters vs normal people:

In New York City, they eat boiled animal tongues. In the South we use our tongues for licking our fingers.

Southerners eat buttermilk biscuits and sip frosty glasses of sweet tea. New Yorkers nosh bagels and drink seltzer water.

New Yorkers eat fermented soy and tuna tartar – while folks in Tennessee eat fried catfish – with tarter sauce.

I grew up not far from where that article supposedly "took place."

I didn't find it offensive. I found it accurate.
