Local, Sustainable Comedy

It’s official, Foodieism is to the early 21st Century what Coffee was to the late 20th Century. Don’t believe me, watch the brilliant sketch above from “Portlandia.”

Nothing makes culture pop quite like satire, and “Portlandia’s” assault on foodies, complete season series addiction and wireless agreements are spot-on. Congrats to Fred Armisen and Justin Long-lookalike Carrie Brownstein for serving up the topical satire “Saturday Night Live” has swung and missed at for at least half a decade.

And thanks to chef Ryan Parrott to recommending the show. Can’t wait to see what names the fowl have at his soon-to-open farm-to-fork restaurant Local, which is set for mid- to late-February in Norman.

Also, this sketch is just part 1, be sure to check out the first season of Portlandia on DVD and Netflix to see the rest of the story, which is hysterical.
