“Is that USDA organic or Oregon organic or Portland organic?” asks a character played by singer Carrie Brownstein, one of the stars of the great IFC network sketch comedy Portlandia, in a widely loved restaurant skit (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2LBICPEK6w) from the show’s first episode last year.
“It’s just all across the board organic,” the server responds before excusing herself.
When she returns a moment later, the waitress shares with the diners a pamphlet of information about the chicken before presenting its “papers” for inspection. This helps her to fill in the pretentious would-be diners on the life of “Colin,” who as its name suggests actually was a rooster—which makes the joke even funnier (https://www.google.com/search?source=ig&hl=en&rlz=1G1GGLQ_ENUS302&=&q=male+chicken+eat&oq=male+chicken+eat&aq=f&aqi=g-K1g-mK1g-b1g-bK7&aql=&gs_l=igoogle.3..0i30j0i5i30j0i8j0i8i30l7.10043.176 76.0.18110.29.24.2.0.0.1.962.6453.9j7j3j1j6-4.24.0...0.0.q3M54959PhQ)—before it came to star as an entrée.
