Wait a minute, this isn't real! From the editors wrapped in blankets at the green market to the flying pink unicorn (or was I hallucinating?) this is brilliant. Nice antidote to high'fallutin foodiness, Thank You!

I was so bummed this was a hoax lol! The dishwashing scene was perfect - reminds me of an essay I loved from Cooking for Mr. Latte, Amanda. :o)

Ha! Loved it. Got me with that one. There I was, watching the video and wondering why the cue card was so far off to the side and then watching the kids all crowded around the table. Made me wonder if it was real or not, considering the price of real estate in New York. Ignore the grumpy people that do not appreciate a little levity on the first day of April.

You should not pull jokes on people over 70 they can get very disappointed if they don't win.

Ladies, with style like that, who could resist? I was ready to jump on a plane from Australia just to pick up some fashion cues. Fantastic food and a sense of humour. You're my Food365.

Love your April Fool's video!!! Especially the 'vacation mode' cooking students (so true). This definitely brightened my day! Bravissime!

Incredibly lame. Won't be shopping with you in the future. What a sad ploy to get folks to visit your website. You that desperate?

Um What? All I can say is whew! I thought man, I have to find a place to comment about them looking into the promotors or cards to read-Bad! Then the April Fool "joke"? Poor taste. Wasted my valuable time. Brand new to your site. Think I will take my leave. I haven't found a reason YET to keep ALL THE EMAILS COMING! Very Proud of your stuff-prices outlandish. Can find same for less in Texas and y'all clearly did not learn from your mamas how to set the table. Knife always on right with blade pointed in!

Kelly: Go easy. This is a nice food site with a lot of nice folks willing to offer sound advice to very good and, like me, novice cooks. This plus fantastic recipes with instructions that even I can follow allowing someone like me to produce some quite fine meals. Again, go easy and be well.

I love, love, love, Food52. My newest best website to visit. I have never dreamed, salivated, wished for, so much in my life. Y'all just know how to grab one's attention. Too bad I had to unpack my luggage. I was convinced I could win this one hands down! Thanks for your uniqueness!

I don't recall the last time anyone has pulled an April Fool's Joke on me. I'm disappointed the shot at going to NYC wasn't true, but your joke was awesome!

Ha ha! Very well done, ladies. You had me going there for a bit....
Still, I agree with others. You really should consider that very contest. Especially the truffle foraging!

That actually sounds like an ideal Spring Break!! Not even joking. I want to come cook with you and hang in your offices rather than just imagining I'm there via Instagram glimpses!!

My real April Fools joke was not clicking on the box to not notify me of new comments so my emails are going crazy. I did love the joke and think hanging with you would be brilliant!
