Chef’s Note:  It might not seem obvious at first but Kori here is quite skillfully (and brutally) settling a centuries long-standing culinary argument-

Imagine the astonishment then when in 1004 Maria Argyropoulina, Greek niece of Byzantine Emperor Basil II, showed up in Venice for her marriage to Giovanni, son of the Pietro Orseolo II, the Doge of Venice, with a case of golden forks—and then proceeded to use them at the wedding feast.

They weren’t exactly a hit. She was roundly condemned by the local clergy for her decadence, with one going so far as to say, “God in his wisdom has provided man with natural forks—his fingers. Therefore it is an insult to him to substitute artificial metal forks for them when eating.” When Argyropoulina died of the plague two years later, Saint Peter Damian, with ill-concealed satisfaction, suggested that it was God’s punishment for her lavish ways.

As we see demonstrated here: fingers, even when fists, are really no match for forks.*

Chef’s Note:  “On the house, apparently” – here we see another instance in which superheroing scores a free meal. This has been happening frequently enough that we have decided to introduce a new research tag: on the house

Chef’s Note:  Happy National Chicken & Waffles Day!
