The trend of “you are there” magazine pieces that narrate exotic dining experiences has gotten out of hand. I guess we can all thank Michael Pollan for restarting the trend with his boar hunting chapter that inspired a zillion “I’m going to shoot an animal article so I can write about it and you can read about it,” crap.
However, I did thoroughly enjoy C-Monster’s photo-rich story; it stemmed more from sheet enthusiasm than straight mercenary opportunism for trends.
