Craigslist Food Forum. Ok. I know I've mentioned it before but you don't even have to read the posts, just the titles of the posts to enjoy the humor and camaraderie. Here is an example of why I keep reading:
Is it Hor'deourves or Hor'dourves? < need_help_spelling > 08/18 15:51
. . . Hors d'oeuvres < kimo > 08/18 15:52
. . . Hors D'oeuvres < dxb > 08/18 15:53

. . . . . . . . . I thought it was horse devers < laini > 08/18 16:02
Of course there is the requisite grouch or "troll" who tries to stir things up by posting complaints about people using the word "yummy" or "brekkie" or the person who constantly posts "The Olive Garden" as the response to all queries in a failed attempt at humor, but all in all it is a very pleasant and helpful place.

Here are some examples:
Took a doggie bag home; the dog refused it
Stay home and heat up a can of Alpo instead
Filled with flowers and all the things that make flowers grow
Waiters just back from the Jihad
Mashed potatoes and attitudes don't mix
The city hasn't seen this much cheese since the Three Tenors played Dodger Stadium
If this place doesn't get you laid, nothing will
Saves fuel bills, the heartburn will keep you warm all winter
The quiche of death
My Russian mother makes better French food
