Steve Martin Pokes Fun at Fancy Comfort Food: 'I Feel Sorry for Today's Kids'
""SO THIS IS WHAT PASSES FOR TOMATO SOUP AND GRILLED CHEESE????" the 80-year-old actor captioned his photo of a very fancy-looking grilled cheese and tomato soup. "I FEEL SORRY FOR TODAY'S KIDS." The 16-time "Saturday Night Live" host's meal included a bowl of tomato soup with a heavy-handed swirl of olive oil and a grilled cheese sandwich pan-seared to golden-brown perfection with gooey cheese spilling out from the sides."
"Many of his fans seemed to take his all-caps complaint seriously. "Campbell's is the only tomato soup!" replied one Facebook user. "Where are the triangles? Where's the pickle spear? And, why did someone draw a Cobra eating it's own tail in your soup?" asked another. "What did you expect from a linen tablecloth restaurant? Maybe try the diner up the street? Better results." One more replied, "Come on Steve. We know you're 80 years old, but don't be a crank. This looks fabulous.""
