I am compelled to note that the backlash to the reporter was because it came out that *she* was the one who had ordered the truffle fries! One of my favorite bits of early '10s media gossip.

I got lunch with David Krumholtz the day after the Oscars, and this story has everything: a gigantic plate of pork, candid talk about career highs and lows, and a cameo from an '80s pop legend.
