Match 1: Pizzarita (1) vs. Chicken Tenders (9)

Maddy Doyle, Sports Editor: I just had a pizzarita for the first time. It had meat in it. Which is unfortunate because I’m a vegetarian.

Carly Dills, Arts & Culture Editor: No you’re not.

Maddy: I am! I’m putting effort in.

Emily Denny, Editor-in-Chief: I’m surprised by how close it is.

Emily Buza, Staff Writer: Yeah.

Carly: Yeah, me too.

Carly: So… Cjhken tenders v. poizzrita

[Everyone laughs at Denny’s poor keyboard skills]

Emily: Which one won again?

Carly: Pizzaritas had an underdog story. They were gone. There was a swing to pull them back. How could they lose after that?

Maddy: Isn’t that what the Patriots did?

Emily: Pizzaritas continue to kill me so…

Denny: How do they kill you?

Emily: I HAVE FOOD ALLERGIES.

Annie Kaplan, Staff Writer: That’s narcissistic. Not everyone is voting in your interest.

Emily: Other people have food allergies, not specifically me.

Match 2: Mediterranean Grilled Cheese (4) vs. Caprese Panini (5)

Emily: WHICH ONE WON?

Carly: What’s in the med grilled cheese?

Annie: I’ve always been a fan of the mediterranean grilled cheese. But each time I’ve had one, I had to take a break for a while.

Carly: What’s in it?

Annie: It’s just a combination of pesto and tomato.

Ben Gessel, Staff Writer: That sounds like a caprese pannini

Emily: CONTROVERSY!

Maddy: So it’s a caprese panini that’s actually cooked.

Annie: Caprese Panini’s sit around all day getting cold and gross, the mediterranean grilled cheese is made to order.

Denny: That’s called a la minute when you make something to order.

Emily: Emily Denny has been watching top chef.

Maddy: I love top chef.

Denny: I’m still mad about Nicholas not giving up his immunity in season 11. That was some bullshit.

Maddy: Also, Padma went to Clark. She ate this food. We should get her vote.

Carly: There was a clarkie on the bachelorette. She was the bachelorette

Maddy: Oh my.

Emily: We got Freud, we got the bachelorette, we got Padma.

Denny: I would have Padma Lakshmi’s babies.

Match 3: Chicken Quesadilla (2) vs. Individually Packaged Egg (10)

Annie: I think the match-up here is the real circle of life. The chicken and the egg.

Maddy: WHICH WILL COME FIRST?

[Nobody laughs.]

Emily: Apparently the egg.

Denny: I can’t believe the egg is winning.

Emily: Seriously.

Carly: EGG EGG EGG EGG EGG EGG.

Maddy: It’s a convenient protein.

Annie: I saw like fifteen individually packaged eggs with no one tending to them. I could have taken all of them.

Emily: That’s illegal.

Denny: I think the quesadilla has fallen recently. I’ve been eating them for four years and they used to be bomb and now they're more eh.

Carly: The cheese is just so horrible.

Buza: You can’t mess up an egg.

Maddy: You definitely can.

Carly: I’ve had a raw individually packaged egg.

Ben: What?

Denny: And you’re still a fan?

[Room descends into chaos]

Buza: Raw chicken is bad.

Match 4: Soup of the Day (14) vs. Sushi (6)

Denny: I’m mad about soup of the day.

Emily: Can’t believe it.

Annie: It was breathed on. This was expected.

Maddy: I thought soup of the day won?

[Everyone choruses with a big fat “not true”]

Emily: Fake news.

Carly: I just… soup of the day, breathed on. How is that…….. Gonna compare to sushi.

Emily: VARIETY.

Maddy: PEOPLE DIDN’T SEE THE BENEFITS. YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM.

Annie: People just don’t understand you can eat raw fish.

[Carly can’t handle Denny’s poor typing]

Carly: You can’t eat raw soup.

Denny: Well, water and raw vegetables. You could eat that.

Emily: Does cereal with milk count?

Carly: Water salad!

Denny: All hail the water salad!

[Denny just CANNOT fucking type]

Hipster Quote of the Week:

The message at the end of “The Tortoise and the Hare” isn’t that ‘slow and steady wins the race’, but actually a well-remembered quote from the 1977 Disney classic “A New Hope”: “Great kid! Don’t get cocky”. Bullshit that the hare was gonna lose that race if he didn’t choose to stop for a nap and a snack and whatever else he did. Bullshit that the tortoise was going to catch up in any capacity if the hare didn’t slow down for him. Maybe that platitude makes sense, but definitely not in this situation.

 

A race is a sheer contest of speed. No other skills go into that. The tortoise and the hare aren’t making miniature wooden horses and getting judged on the craftsmanship of their products alongside their finish time; they are moving from one point to another. In no universe does slow and steady win that race. Slow and steady wins no races, except for races where the point is to go as slow as possible. Even in cases where slow and steady could be considered a possible alternative to fast, such as the aforementioned miniature-wooden-horse-making competition, someone who can do similar quality work at a much faster pace still wins that competition.

 

Slow and steady does not win the race. Not being too full of yourself does.."
