This does remind me of the brilliant David Foster Wallace essay that Gourmet magazine commissioned him to write about a lobster festival. Gourmet paid him to hype the event. Instead, Wallace eviscerates the practice of boiling lobster in his own inimitable style. I would have love to have been a fly on a wall when the editor saw the finished piece and said, 'what is this sh*t'!

Wallace sounds like a prick. It's a festival. Why would someone not expect styrofoam and plastic utensils?


Be apprised, though, that the Main Eating Tent’s suppers come in Styrofoam trays, and the soft drinks are iceless and flat, and the coffee is convenience-store coffee in yet more Styrofoam, and the utensils are plastic (there are none of the special long skinny forks for pushing out the tail meat, though a few savvy diners bring their own). Nor do they give you near enough napkins, considering how messy lobster is to eat, especially when you’re squeezed onto benches alongside children of various ages
