Food blogger, chef, and bestselling author Michael Ruhlman is once again up in arms (you might recall his previous rant against the anti-fat brigade). This time, a reader poses a dilemma about where to host a post-wedding luncheon considering several guests “have every variation of diet extremism from the paleo-diet to variations of the casein/gluten/lactose/sugar-free philosophies which means they are limited to brown rice, some grilled meats, and some fruits/veges.”

It was enough to make Ruhlman’s blood boil: “The kind of boil my blood gets when I’m at a restaurant and I hear a woman, grilling the server suspiciously, saying, ‘I’m allergic to lactose‘ and then later says, ‘Ooo, could you wheel that cheese cart over here? Gawd, I love Epoisse.'”
