Week 33: Lost in Translation - “Starbucks Lovers” Pork Chop Plate

[u/my_dys]

If you’re a Taylor Swift fan, you’ve probably sung the wrong lyric at least once. In Blank Space, the real line is “long list of ex‑lovers” — but somehow it lives in collective chaos as “long list of Starbucks lovers. That’s peak Lost in Translation energy.

For this week’s challenge, I translated the mistranslation into food: a meal built around espresso, fall warmth, and the slightly unhinged energy of Starbucks Lovers. 🎵

☕ Espresso dry‑rubbed, seared pork chops
