The elevation of haute cuisine as “good” and common folk food as “mediocre” is strange to me. Sometimes a cheap-ass $5 meal really does satisfy people far more

The elevation of haute cuisine as “good” and common folk food as “mediocre” is strange to me.
Sometimes a cheap-ass $5 meal really does satisfy people far more than a Michelin star restaurant. Humble bragging about only being able to enjoy non-normie food sounds silly and unrefined, really.
- fsckboy 4y agoI'm not referring to that. I'm referring to things like "what's the best pho" or pizza or pupusa or ramen I do think as a chef learning haute cuisine is learning useful things about cooking and what makes some bread better than other bread, and what consistency a sauce should have and how to achieve it.
