Food Network Launching Hipster "Cooking Channel," Missionites Panic

The New York Times is reporting that the Food Netowrk is creating a spinoff network JUST FOR HIPSTERS.  Look at that sandwich.  That ring of fire probably made it, like, 1000x better.

In another show, “Unique Eats,” taped earlier this month at Bark, a boutique hot-dog shop in Park Slope, Brooklyn, the cameras lavished attention on baked heirloom beans and franks topped with Columbia County sauerkraut.

Sounds super unique!  I’ve always wanted to know what would happen if Emeril would wear a tucker hat.  Anyways, some old hippies back where I grew up used to say this all the time, “The hippie movement never died, all that happened is the trend-followers left.”  What do we think?  Is this the beginning of the end?  Will the cool kids of Valencia - Potrero Ave. make a mass exodus to the Sunset and start wearing board shorts?

Also, I think this goes without saying but, you know, for the fuck of it: will there be vegan options?

So far it’s all acquired (recycled) Canadian programming on their slate. Mission foodies, start prepping your show pitches (and email them to me, i got connex. For realz).

What makes you think that Mission hipsters are even on these people’s radar???

Because we’re the most important people in the world. Duh.
