"... has long been a key element of food TV. But lately, online food culture has entered an 'oral' era that puts the fleshy, wettened mouth — at once destructive and violated in the act of ingestion — at the center of the spectacle. There seems to be a growing emphasis, among popular food accounts, on the messiness of the overflowing orifice as individual eaters shovel food down their throats; online, the mouth has become a canvas for thick spacklings of various juices, pastes, condiments and whips. If you think I’m exaggerating, consider a recent post from @sanaaeats, in which the popular culinary influencer (1.6 million followers across TikTok and Instagram) feeds herself fingers of chicken, Texas toast and crinkle-cut fries drowned in a jumbo cup of Raising Cane’s sauce — the camera lingering on each bite just long enough to reveal the viscous splatter around her mouth...."

Ew.

Blurring the line between sexual and violent? A response to the very popular fight video genre? Not to mention the granddaddy of popular videos, the P genre.
Fight videos usually degenerate into the senseless whipping of a clear victor over a huddled mass of flesh on the ground.
I don't know. Maybe I'm letting my speculative imaginings run away here.
People aren't food, are they?
Maybe it's a way to satiate our lingering feral savage nature, without having to taint our on-line timeline with uncivilized barbarous fight videos, not to mention the granddaddy of them all.
From the title, I was expecting something about "Quiet on the Set".
Stuntman Mike's Nachos Grande Platter.
The scene of King Denethor eating in Lord of the Rings is a really potent way to use food to show a person's character, and exemplifies putting "the fleshy, wettened mouth — at once destructive and violated in the act of ingestion — at the center of the spectacle."
Contrasted with Pippin's singing, it really is a brilliant approach to characterizing the heroic outsider vs the craven leader.

I thought they were hetero-sexual? O.M.G. Cancel my subscription. How many kinds of sex perverts do we have to put up with.
My favorite post culinary eating was done on Graham Kerr's Galloping Gourmet show.
Who is the best TV eater? well, there were some, back in the day, out on the High Desert, In a place that doesn't even exist anymore, who wrung out the food in the thin air... who? Who is the best sexy video eater? Weeell; you're lookin' at him.
