The Outlier: Spicy Mayo Anythg Rolls; Supermarket Shi; Any roll wh more than three gredients or one ied object What is: Marons What Doonan Says: "The maron craze is the ne pl ultra of gay foorie.

And yet, as a gay man-ish person, I have always found the dners to be an unniably queer space, even if I uldn’t offer the exact reason why. Is the fact that Quenux is gay? That’s an important startg pot, but plenty of events and rtrants n by gay chefs are not necsarily queer.
No flourish of sce mak a dish bisexual, nor do flambe make your duck or ice cream “homosexual”: the are terms applied to people, and on that don’t transfer to food, even if an LGBTQ someone igned that dish.
