Culinary Stunting Or How to Co-opt Same Sex Dining Experiences


It all started with a seemingly harmless, honest statement by Austin Nichols on September 27, 2009 in TeenDramaWhore.com:

TDW:  What's one thing that is easy about working on a show like OTH [One Tree Hill] and one thing that is difficult?

[Austin] Nichols: Easy: No traffic here. Hard: Living without In-Out-Burger. 

At first glance, there is nothing much controversial about admitting a personal meal preference.  There are lots of people in California who love this cooked, fresh-to-order treat. Totally understandable that Austin would also miss his favorite fast food hamburger while filming in Wilmington, North Carolina. Simple and direct. Nothing out of the ordinary. Nothing needing to be reconsidered or covered up. That is until three years later on May 11, 2012, late at night, when this happened:

"my girlfriend would be freaking out right now if she was here" - Jeremy to Jake Gyllenhaal and Austin Nichols.

Fast forward to Valentine's Day, 2017 and the below "romantic" photograph appears with strategically placed, easily recognizable In-N-Out drinking cups. I don't know about you, but nothing says romance like buying your "girlfriend" a $6.50 meal on Cupid's special day. Those pink heart-shaped dark glasses were a nice touch too, in case we didn't know what day it was. Good thing these two walk around LA with their own hired pap to capture these kinds of spontaneous occasions. Otherwise, we never would have known this special "private" moment even happened.  And, what a loss that would have been for all the world.

On January 18, 2012 Jake and Austin were actually not just 

tweeted about, but photographed together. This time enjoying a

Sushi lunch. Back then, x17 Online  called the gathering a "Dude 

Date" (translation:  nothing gay here), and hyperfocused on Adam 

Levine's presence. But, Austin Nichols was there too - clear as 

day. During this time, WME had planned several photo ops with 

Jake cast in the main role so he could dramatically say goodbye to 

his most well-known LA friends (my favorite being the sad-face 

filled fest with Busy Phillips a few days earlier.



Setting the stage for Jake's very public "relocation" to NYC.





*Sniff*  These melodramatic scenes almost bring a tear to your 

eyes, don't they? 


Well, the subsequent all male bon voyage Sushi lunch a few days 

later was all part of that same story line.  Jake's people even made 

sure to include a video so that viewers could see Austin getting 

into Jake's car. The narrative somewhat murky because even 

though Jake was leaving Adam Levine behind, he was very much 

taking Austin with him. LOLLLL!








Here is the video itself as someone had saved it to photobucket:








Then there was this tweet a week earlier to underscore just how 

much Jake and Austin love their Sushi.

Let's Fast Forward once more to 2017 and see a new sushi lunch:





As is a common practice by Management teams, Jake's publicists 

past and present have made a point of re-writing his and Austin's 

Google searches when it comes to special Jaustin sightings or 

events from the past.  


• Lakers' photos?  Redone with Jake/Reese Witherspoon and then Austin/Sophia Bush


 

• The Post Ranch Inn treehouse suspicion (romantic getaway for 

Jake and Austin)?  Remanufactured starring Jake and ol' Tay Swift



• Jake and Austin sushi lunch 2012?  Replayed with Austin and his 


beard, Chlo Bennet 2017.



• Jake and Austin tweet of being seen at In 'n Out?  Re-Google

searched starring Austin and again the beard, Bennet.



So now when you Google Search the phrase, Austin Nichols sushi 

lunch, you see what has become the Austin and Chloe blog, aka

Waiting for Toothy 2, dominating the top row, no doubt featuring 

the 2017 sushi lunch in their current post.  One doesn't 

even need to watch the video; it's simple and clear to see the 

sought-after goal.


Google search "Austin Nichols sushi lunch" 




Well, we'll see now if Narnia can crack that top row.  ;-)





Uh oh!
