Culinary Opportunist

An ethical omnivore, the culinary opportunist takes advantage of whatever good eats are at hand, at the farmer's market, at the local restaurant/diner/ cafe/bistro. They are true to no particular fad, food type or ethnic cuisine. They are adventurous with curious palates, willing to try whatever is presented to them.

Walking through chinatown on a Sunday, the culinary opportunist felt the pull of the dim sum brunch.

culinary orgasm

A food item or meal so delicious, words alone cannot describe them. You are said to have a culinary orgasm when you can do nothing but sit back in awe at the taste.

Damn man, that buffalo chicken sandwich was a culinary orgasm.

Culinary Arts

Culinary Arts is the Chef profession. Learning how to cook, and basiclly how a restaurant works. While being a Chef may seem like a "cool" career, it's not. You will learn to hate it very quickly. It's stressful, tiring, you have to handle pressure and be able to work in a past paced enviornment. This can cause serious psychological issues for some. For all the work people put into this career path, very few become anything special. Many people quit, simply due to stress and the lack of advancement. You won't make alot of money working as a cook at diners or all the popular chain restaurants. In order to make a decent salary, you'd need to do even more training for a Masters Degree. And you'd have to be working as the Head Chef at a fancy hotel somewhere. Or be one of them Celebrity Chefs you see on TV. Culinary Arts is just not worth the money and work people put into it.

Learning Culinary Arts is like being in the Military. People yelling at you, judging you on everything you do. And you have to know EVERYTHING about food, in order to make more then $15 an hour.

Culinailed it!

When you go to a new restaurant, order the best items off the menu, eat them all, and delight in your ability to nail it, culinary style!

Last night, I went to that new restaurant and ordered the mahimahi tacos, the grilled pork belly, the duck breast flatbread, and the green chili and gorgonzola wings.

The waiter was like, "You ordered all the best stuff on the menu."

And I was like, "No, I culinailed it!"

Culinary therapy

The act of consuming food to ease away negative emotions or soothe your anger. Like retail therapy except with food.

Basically, eating your problems.
(Not to be confused with bulimia, but excessive culinary therapy may lead to bulimia)

Girl 1: I can't believe he broke up with me!

Girl 2: I'll get the Haagen-Dazs
