when you order the 'soup and sandwich' lunch item, the soup served by being soaked into sandwich bread. the only sandwich they offer is the 'classic potato club.' the meal served on a live, organic chicken. who has a hand-crafted plate adhered to its back by100% GMO-free, craft glue. it pairs wonderfully with a bottle of "21-Gender Chianti."

Kthulhu5000 posted:Its menu is free-range high pH "green yolk" organic eggs, heart-shaped hash browns made from fair-wage "kissed earth" techno-Amish farmed blood potatoes, and gently threatened farm-to-table bacon like every other boutique cafe in Portland. But the waiter has his KuroNippon-dyed hair slicked back with vazza, Coke bottle glasses with lenses ground from the actual bottoms of green Coke bottles, a pimple ring on his nose, an open vest like that of the titular character in Disney's 1992 Aladdin, and a narrow little pubic trail crawling out of the waist of his "upsized" children's Sesame Street denim jeans from the 1970s. the roof of the cafe was the color of a television turned to a channel about roofs ---------------- |

Your waitress is wearing an animal ear knit cap of a baboon's gaping and fanged maw, atop a bobbed cut streaked with KuroAoi dye. She has no eyewear on, but her eyes are rimmed all around in a circle with "mascara" that you're sure is actually ashes from the kitchen oven. She has two brass studs shining out through her ash mascara right below her left eye, along with a Nepali paisa coin from 1981 hammered into the bridge of her nose. Her face is otherwise unmodified, except for the absolute faintest wisp of a goatee beard on her chin. The fruit of hours of dedicated encouragement and teasing out, no doubt. She is wearing a jacket made from a 1960s Albanian tapestry of an organ grinder and his monkey, which is atop a crimson redyed pre-faded tee shirt. She being ahead of the curve, there's an unsettling round bulge in her tee, around the area where her exposed navel would otherwise be. There is decidedly nothing peeking out from the waist of her yellow canary pattern miniskirt, made from one of the couch throw pillows she stole from her grandma's house. This is accessorizing her wasabi green leggings, patterned with a lobster emoji font only found on a specific model of 1998-era Japanese cell phone. Her feet are clad in thin red wood discs made from red maple stained redder with unfair trade Bolivian fruit punch drink powder, with the bark still rimming it all. These are attached to her feet with the surplus discarded steerpulling rope from slaughterhouses, making an ironic and contradicting statement. She has somehow talked you into the salsa cupcakes with ranch dressing frosting, flash steambaked in cane aether. ---------------- |

there is no ordering. when the server deigns to notice you you are served a plate of twigs, a bowl of hot water, a jar of agave nectar, and a house made hot sauce that contains locally sourced nettles. you will be judged by what you do with these items. everyone in fact is furtively looking around trying to figure out how to eat or drink this meal, if indeed it is meant to be ingested at all. one guy with a mullet tries steeping his twigs in the hot water, flavoring it with the agave, then drinking it like a tea. it tastes awful and everybody around him is rolling their eyes but he is committed, he is going to choke down that twig water if it kills him. a lesbian couple is eating the twigs with the hot sauce, creating loud crunching and snapping sounds and whimpering quietly as splinters work their way into their gums. a young gentleman with maori tattoos has soaked the twigs and is trying to mash them into a slightly softened vegetal mat, which he chews endlessly, seasoned with the tamari soy sauce he insisted that the server bring. a suburban soccer mom tries to send her twigs back and is laughed out of the cafe. at last, everyone thinks, breakfast. |

"Excuse me, waitress?" I ask, my hand in the air like an embarrassed schoolboy asking to use the lavatory. She turns, scoffing at me, saying nothing. Her eyes are a sea of judgement with one hand pressing down on the scales, cheating me of any chance I ever had to not look like a fool. "I don't-" I start to say, but I falter. How can I approach this without losing my cred? "I... I don't understand how to eat this," I mutter, with my head held low. Trap sprung, a wicked smile draws across her face, red lips ensnaring her perfect teeth like the roots of an old tree poking its way around a fence. I feel my face flush. "You don't... understand?" She voiced it like a question, but it was more like a declaration of victory. A trumpet blast over the battlefield to show any and all who were there to witness the site of my disembowelment that I had utterly and completely been destroyed. "It's a deconstructed hotdog, what's not to get?" She cocks her head to one side, sinister grin widening. I look back at my plate. Bread sits alone, piled high like a burial cairn, my fragile self worth trapped inside. An effluvient mold of sausage and gelatin lies next to it, a testament to man's folly. Pickles on a block of ice; I imagine them floating out to sea, alone, fated to perish on their own in the cold or starvation. A red mount; a yellow mound. Bubbles have been run through this ketchup, it seems, creating a sickly thick foam the color of dried blood. The snot-yellow mustard next to it has seen better days. I hang my head in shame as the waitress laughs. Her laugh grows louder, louder. I can take it no more; I grab a piece of bread and dash it into the ketchup, combine it with a pickle, and rub it on the weiner-aspic. Hand unsteady, I raise my trembling amalgamation of food to my face and take a bite. I scream, and everything goes black. The last thing I hear before the darkness takes me is the sound of the waitress cackling.

I order the only thing on the menu I recognize, what I expect is a huge plate of eggs and chorizo for $13. but is actually just a single hard-boiled brown egg and a few slices of the weird, Spanish-style cured hard chorizo sausage. |

"I know it's 2:30 pm and you close in half an hour but are you still serving breakfast?" "Yes we are! Breakfast always served starting at 2:00." "2:00? What about when you guys open at 11:00?" "I mean if you're up that early most people just make it at home" |

Half the words on the menu are in trendy faux-French, which I don't understand, so I just order something called "On the Rocks". My dish arrives. It turns out it's a thick soup, piping hot. I poke around with my spoon and fish out... a rock. "Erm, excuse me," I say to the waitress as politely as I can, "there's a rock in my soup." The waitress smiles impatiently. "Yes," she says, "Well, that's kind of the point isn't it? You know, it's on the rocks, man!" She smiles a plastic smile, clearly waiting for my line of questioning to finish. "But," I say, "I can't eat this!" "Yes," she agrees, and walks away. The presentation is pretty good, though.

After years of making fun of it, I ordered breakfast at the hipster cafe today, and... well, I'm not sure how to say this, but, it was... really good?? So I took a deep look at the menu, I mean a really good look, I made a point to take off my lens of ridicule and take a look and say "what is this food though, really," and realized that it was all actually just well-thought-out dishes made of good ingredients. The people serving me were not ironic, they were genuine and nice people. The chefs were regular people, good cooks, who cared a lot about good food. I began to think... maybe the one not being honest with themself, was me. Now I'm just not sure what to make of my life anymore. I've been writing this blog making fun of hipsters for 3 years. My satirical "Hipsterdom 101" book (where the 101 is stylized to also look like an LOL) has sold over a million copies and paid my kid's way through college. And yet here I am unable to put into words what on earth makes this cafe worthy of disparaging. I can't even explain why I ever labelled it as "hipster." Is a hipster really a person with tattoos and flannel and a trucker hat? Because those specific fashion items were not even to be found in this cafe. Or is a "hipster" just a person who is more intentional about things than I am, to the point that it makes me feel insecure? Would these people call themselves hipster, or would are there other cafes that they would call hipster, or is it all just bullshit? I need to go lie down.

it's an ironic diner, the menu is ironicly diner-esque, you can order pancake and eggs or whatever (the pancakes are made from boxed mix and the eggs are not organic) in fact nothing is organic and absolutely everything is GM even the napkins. the waitresses wear ironic little aprons and it's called something ridiculous like "henry's corner diner". they won't serve the coffee until it's been sitting in a carafe for at least two hours. you might not even realize you're in a hipster cafe until you realize that the omelette you ordered was $16.30.

The special of the day is the "Hot Cut". It's one tomato smashed flat, with feta cheese cubes smashed flat on top of it, followed by a poached egg (already kind of flat), smashed flat on top of everything else. There is no seasoning apparent, and it is all served on a thrift store find Wayne Newton vinyl LP. You can't keep the LP, not that you would want to with all the food juices in the grooves and slowly spilling out from the center and onto the table. The side is strips of "toasted" Wonder bread, poking out from a beaker of liquid nitrogen. There is no coffee, milk, or OJ, but you can choose to have either a can of novelty chile soda from the Hatch Chile Festival, or "hair trade" seaweed and garlic kvass. You're trying to muster up the courage to give any of this a try; you see your date shoveling and swallowing it down, all happily and hungrily. ---------------- |

You walk in to this lil' popup, ask 'em, what's the coolest dish you got? And they bring out a really great-looking Super Nintendo made out of blueberry waffles and pancakes, and you say, wow, I'll have that! And they say "You already did!" and take it back to the kitchen. To "pay", you just have to jingle some coins in your hands. All you've got is an old Mercury's head dime you found in your change. As you bounce it around in your palm, with it making no noise at all, you see the stuff begin to make anxious, sidelong glances at each other. ---------------- |
