19 Unfortunate Food Terms from the Past Decade

Over the past ten years, we’ve seen quite a few culinary trends. Some were innovative… Most were downright intolerable. Today, foodiggity would like to focus specifically on some of the words and phrases that have seeped into our lexicon. All of which are intolerable.

So, without further ado and in no particular order, the 19 most unfortunate food terms from the past decade.

19. Cheftestant
18. Tablescape
17. Spoonula
16. Italian Small Plates

15. Om Nom (when used by someone who is not a muppet)

14. Throwdown
13. Iron Chef America
12. Glad Family of Products
11. Jeffrey

10. Voltaggio

9. Meh
8. Quickfire (especially if preceded by ‘Vending Machine’)
7. Gastropub

6. Yum-o

5. E.V.O.O.(worse when followed by saying “Extra Virgin Olive Oil” anyway)
