Funniest NPR moment ever

…Alice Waters admits she doesn’t know what buffalo chicken wings are. 

(And if you don’t know what I’m talking about already, I’m afraid there’s just no way to explain why this is funny.)

  2. OK, so I should have linked… info about Alice waters here and about buffalo wings here. Basically, Alice Waters is a well-known chef from Berkeley, California who has been credited with single-handedly creating an American culinary movement based around eating fresh, locally-grown, seasonal foods. The funny part is that she is SO into locally-grown, seasonal foods that she is totally unaware of buffalo chicken wings, a snack/bar food popular around the US that is in some sense the antithesis of Waters’ so-called “California Cuisine” since it is basically pieces of chicken slathered in decidedly non-local, non-organic, non-seasonal sauce.
