Notes and thanks: So here yo have my first foray into writing J2. It's taken an INCREDIBLY convoluted path to get posted. It started out as a 1500-word original ficlet for

pyrebi (who is nearly always to blame for everything I write) back in October. Then I decided to make it my NaNo, an original buddy comedy with no slash. Then in December I went "fuck it, I'm gonna do it J2 after all" and finished it by the end of Jaunary. I posted it to my journal, filtered for

pyrebi to read, and went to find myself a beta. Got a beta. And then about six weeks passed with no word from said beta, despite my emailing her asking if everything was okay. So here it is, mid-March and I'm FINALLY posting.

So huge thanks to

pyrebi,

looleebelle, and

bobbinrob! No, seriously. Thank you!

I'm not a chef myself (nor would I ever want to be!) but I've worked in restaurants my whole life (it's sort of the family business). If I consulted any outside sources besides, like, wikipedia, I've forgotten in the four months it's been since I wrote this. I'm also not from Chicago, so I'm sorry if I've gotten that beautiful, wonderful city all wrong.

I've also put together a glossary of food and industry terms that might not be familiar to everyone. You might want to take a look at that before you read.

I really enjoyed reading this! I loved the details regarding the food, I loved the strain between the boys that just really wasn't a strain, I enjoyed it all. Thank you!

Oh, thanks for the glossary, I actually had a google window open while reading the fic, but this is easier!

Hi, I'm Hopefulwriter27. I'm fairly new to this fandom.

I just finished reading Food Porn, and damn, it's AMAZING!

I love your clueless Jensen and Jared buying him expensive kitchen supplies. I all the appearances of the crew and even the dogs!

Great job on writing such a perfect story!

Hi I know this is a long shot but do you by any chance have a single file version of your story that you'd be wiling to share with me at amalthia at gmail.com? Your story sounds like a ton of fun. :)

Sure! Would you prefer a .doc or a .pdf?

[link] [parent] [reply]

Doc wold be perfect. :)

I don't suppose you could send this to me as well? I'd love to put it on my Kindle and read it that way... my username at livejournal.com would be fantastic!

Oh, no problem. I don't know how the Kindle works, though. Is a .doc all right, or do you need a .pdf? I can do either (just know that whatever file I send you, it's not a perfect draft. I edited quite a bit on-web).

A doc is fine! Thank you so much. (I'd have to convert whatever you sent me into the file type anyway, which takes about four seconds. So whatever you already have is fine with me - either will work.)

I'm excited to read this! Also, I love your icon. Hee.

I apologize for this comment, but did I ever send you the file? I cannot remember and I feel kinda bad now.

One of my favorite stories ever and I would love to have a .pdf of it if it is still possible.

Thanks

Wow so in love with this story! Is there any chance I could have pdf of it? Either way amazing work! My email is sugar_angel25@yahoo.com

Hi, I'm sorry to bothering you but do you have a pdf of this story?
I'd like to read it but unfortunately Livejournal has problems again and isn't working. :(
My e-mail: nalynn@hotmail.de

Thanks in advance

hi! i recently read this (on LJ, i thought it was), but i googled it just now to reread and all i could find was this? and the entries appear locked? what's up? :c

Oh. Yeah,

unreckless is all locked, but all of my fic is open and on my fic journal,

likeanything. This DW is entirely for backup purposes and indeed, this is the first time I've logged into it in more than a year (probably). You can find Food Porn on likeanything. It's linked from the masterlist, which should be the first post.

Sorry for the confusion. Just when I think the links to the fic journal are all over the place on unreckless, someone new can't find them anywhere. Thank you!

Hi there. Really excited about reading this, but both your dreamwidth and livejournal accounts seem to be gone. Is there another place I can find it or can you send me a file with the full story? You can mail me at bayani.writer (at) gmail.com. Thank you!

Wow, I really enjoyed this fic, especially Jensen going neurotic in the kitchen. Thank you, this is just what I needed after a long week! I'm definitely recommending it to my friends!

I've come back tonight to reread this yummy story (again) and I'd forgotten about your awesome "moral highground" icon. Could I snag it? I would def credit it to you. :) If not, that's cool.
Thanks!

As I made it, please! Snag away! I'm glad you like it. :)

i second the icon love! genius<3

i saw this fic recced, so shall read it asap (when it's not 3am, preferably), just dropping in with some icon appreciation :)

Yay, I'm glad people like it!

Recced, you say? Where? When?

So since first reading this a couple of weeks ago (as part of my startled tumble down the rabbit hole of j2 AUs into Special Hell) I've reread it twice, and suspect it's going to be a frequent reread. Which is a rarity - in fact, I'm pushed to think of anything I do that with. But your 'verse is terribly disarming, and I am evidently a sucker for this particular romantic dynamic, and these characters. (Man, I so want to read Chef Guy/Norm slash, it's just not true.)

Anyway, I was wondering whether anyone had yet made it into an audiofic? Or, if they haven't, whether it would be okay if I made it into one myself? (Er - in the spirit of full disclosure, I'm British. I know some people can find a conflict of accent & source text a bit jarring, so if you'd rather have someone USian read it, no worries. I'll likely make a version for my own entertainment anyway, because I do love being able to listen to fic on the go - but I won't upload it anywhere unless it's okay with you.)

Oh my! Sure! Audiofic away!

Sweet! Cheers! Will give you a link once it's done! ;D

Awesome! I enjoyed this a lot. Restaurant!AUs seem to work really well. ♥

Recced at

spnroundtable! Great work!
