Portlandia - In the restaurant

[@SandraFowler]

There's kind of a subtle joke in here that many won't get. They discuss the bird being a heritage breed and 100% organic, also male. The chicken that is shown is a female Isa Brown. The amusing thing here is that Isa Browns are a designer breed created by Hendricks Genetics for use as battery hens. They also have no meat on them and are incredibly poorly suited to eating. The bird is the furthest thing from what it's being described as and serves to illustrate that we have no bloody clue what we eat and don't care as long as it sounds fancy and ethical.

[@KeithPhillips]

I mentioned today (and grossed someone out) that we only eat female birds. My partner didn't want any idea on what happens to the males after sexing... And it's "Hendrix" by the way. Don't want readers going on a wild goose hunt (pun intended...) :P

[@SandraFowler]

Huh, you're right. Hendrix. What the Hell, brain? You know better. My bad, thanks for catching that. Yeah that practice of immediately euthanizing male chicks is part of why I got into farming in the first place. I found commercial farming practices unethical and I knew there was a better way. We raise all of our male chickens to adulthood and eat *only* male birds. Our female birds are allowed to lead very long, healthy and productive lives. Most commercial egg laying birds are rehomed or euthanized at or around 18 months. Most of my birds are going on 6 and 7 years old and still lay regularly despite the assertion that they shouldn't. It turns out that if you attend to the nutritional needs of elderly birds properly they DO continue to lay for most of their lives.

This is the most intelligent thing I have ever read on a youtube comment.

I’ve never seen an actress ever act so accurately like a waitress in a she or film. Usually, they are told to act sassy or weird in some way. This actress captures the exact vibe and tone of voice of a good server.

[@FreedomofSpeech865]

I thought the same thing

[@lifescansdarkly]

Yeah she absolutely killed it.

[@simshengvue4642]

If the waitress was pretentious too, it’d be more funny

[@richarddoaks3880]

Well you know if she's really an actress in Portland she probably is a waitress too.

Why is he interrupting if he had the same question? Couldn't he just hang back and wait for it to be answered--no interruption necessary.

She doesn't know if she can speak to that level of intimacy about Colin.

[@ando1135]

Are people really like this?

[@winston4345]

Yes. Its annoying as fuck.

[@tjp2109]

Did you all know this was the first skit in the very first episode of Portlandia ever. I was sitting and just watching tv one night and saw the show was coming on, and being an Oregon native, wondered what it was. Actually it was the second skit after the opening of Carrie in L.A. and then the dream of the 90s is alive in Portland opening, then the Colin chicken skit.

[@VampChainz]

I'm a server & this is painstakingly accurate but ultimately you count your money and go home. And watch Portlandia/offset your existential crise(s)

[@BuddhistZenDave]

The face that the waitress had all these answers demonstrates why being a server sucks.

[@jrothstein1]

If you haven't been to Portland, this is not MUCH of an exaggeration

[@toddfield2185]

Yeah... Freaks like that are all you see in this sewer. I'll be out of here in two months thank god.

[@cahinton.]

It's like that in any sizeable, heavily liberal city in the US.

[@dorpth]

Portland, Austin, Bay Area, Williamsburg Brooklyn

[@ANDJELINA]

What horrible 😐

[@theworkethic]

dorpth Thank. I’ll know where not to ever visit.

[@HeatherSpoonheim]

I'm a cook. The server walked into the kitchen one night and said the customer wanted to know where the pickerel was from. I was like, "ok, hold on," and I ran to the freezer, found the box, and it said it was from.....drum roll....Kazakhstan! I kid you not - Kazakhstan! I have no idea how there is money in flash freezing pickerel in Kazakhstan and shipping it to Canada when we have literally millions of lakes full of them here. And yet, that pickerel was from Kazakhstan.

[@IsaacCoverstone]

Laughing so hard, but I work in Portland, and I believe this is almost reality.

She doesn't know if she can speak to that level of intimacy. NOW they are getting a little too personal? Just now?

[@benfir8920]

They go to the farm and there’s a cult and they join it

[@whyRedshoes]

Never mind that the picture of Colin is actually a rooster which are almost never eaten for meat.

[@SandraFowler]

That photo is a hen, not a rooster.

[@alanmalcheski8882]

@@SandraFowler then why is it named Collin? Collin is a man's or in this case, possibly rooster's name. Wait I just offended trans chickens by assuming colin's gender. I resign from the internet.

Its hilarious to see how extreme these characters evolved in their mannerisms from this episode(first episode) to the final season LMAO

[@AmusedChild]

This scene nailed it!

[@breckenridgetours1482]

Fantastic! Love it! Lets hope the rest of the country catches up with Portland!

[@randigerber1926]

ALSO: why would a reliable chicken farmer feed SOY to the birds? That stuff is garbage. I remember this skit from several years ago. I thought it was funny then. Nowadays I shell out $4 for a dozen PASTURE-RAISED eggs. But they’re higher in nutrients, and the chickens spend their days outside, eating grass and worms and bugs. Do I need to go visit Carol’s farm to verify this? Umm, hold my comment, I’ll be back soon.

[@joshuamartinez1152]

i genuinely wonder if this took forever to shoot and i’m mainly talking about the scene when fred says “and and and and” like idk how tf they coulda kept a straight face or stay in character cuz i would lost my shit lmao

[@zionisgone]

This show is utter bullshit. And that’s the point… and I love it.

[@jazzbo13]

Unfortunately I had to sit through the "A Good Day to Die Hard" preview to see this. Nothing is worth that.

More about the chicken: there actually are places that will tell you about the chicken's diet etc. I know a butcher who goes through a speech about how the meat is organic, free range etc. when I just want some sausages or steaks.

[@rickrose5377]

Colin has led a much more pleasant life than I have. (So I guess he had far more to live for than me. I can only conclude that we should end the senseless taboo against cannibalism: eat the poor and disenfranchised -- spare the poultry of affluence!)
