Why is that considered "hipster"?

1. Use of Seitan

 

[Crazy Canuck]

My hipster story. So I work with a couple of guys that are truly hipsters. No car. Bike every where. tight clothes....all that good stuff. One of the guys has actually turned out to be a pretty good friend. (here is their family bike) So he and his wife have this crazy holiday party every year in December. I've never gone in the past due to it falling on the same night as our company holiday party. Well last year (2010)my friend invited us and we decided to go.

Upon arrival it was like making it into a super secret frat party in college, only this time it was with people you'd probably never want to hang with. There were at least 25 to 30 bikes locked up out front. We walked in and got a few stares, but located my buddy and his wife and delivered their gift (six pack of some IPA). We grabbed a beer and made our way to the living room where we could get a bird's eye view of everything. My lady immediately took her camera out and started snapping incognito photos of the empty PBR cans on all the tables. It seriously felt like we were on the inside, like we had just made it to the official hipster underground.

We only stayed for about an hour or so as it began to get pretty raunchy in there. Nobody came up to talk to us and we tried listening to some conversations, but we could never tell what they were talking about. We passed on this year's party, but will definitely go back next year where I'll try to snag some video and snap some photos.

Take a whole series of photos, blow up the best 10, frame them, rhen talk a cafe owner into displaying them as local art. Call it "Brave New World."

The hipsters will think it's cool because it's the title of a book, not you calling them a bunch of defective clones.

a number of vegetarians avoid it because the texture is too "meaty."

Actually looks great. But what is Seitan?

The food is outstanding. Seitan = "Seitan is derived from the protein portion of wheat. It stands in for meat in many recipes and works so well that a number of vegetarians avoid it because the texture is too "meaty.""

WTF?

NOT AUTHENTIC FAKE MEAT.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

"Welcome to McHipster's, may I take your order?"

"Yes, I'd like something that's supposed to contain meat. But I want it without meat. And make it resemble meat as little as humanly possible. If I could get a veggie burger that looks like this, that would be fantastic."

"So, you want a side of vegetables."

"In burger form, yes."

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

I like meat but have a few vegetarians in the family. Handlebar makes a great Buffalo Seitan wrap that tastes as good as chicken.

I think of Handlebar as a place that vegetarians and bike riders like. Didn't seem too hipsterish to me, although the groups probably overlap quite a bit.

I'd like to thank you all for giving me, for the first time in my life, some semblance of an idea what a hipster is.

No problem. Just think of me, then imagine the exact opposite.

Link?

If you enjoy observing hipsters in their natural habitat, get a window seat at this place. Bedford Street is like hipster Botswana.

Dear Homer and others,

When you are scoping out women that you would like to learn more about, at what point do you ask to see ID to see her age? Being out of the routine for so long, my age-detection radar is not only uncalibrated but probably really out of date. While finding my own 22-year old spinner would be wonderful, hitting on the attractive girl that might need a date for the Senior Prom is not something I am ready to do. Those 4 years are hard for me to read in my advanced age.

YIC,

Bogart

You think Homer cares?

This. I'm a bartender, Bogey. I figure if they're in the place, they're either old enough to be there or adventurous enough that it doesn't matter.

"Your Honor, the fact that she was able to procure a realistic looking fake ID card goes to show she was capable of making adult decisions. I move that the charges against my client be dismissed."

PM me your address...gotta send you a retainer.

Did she leave it on your nightstand?
