I think there is an underlying metaphor is this..like most things that are considered "world class". The fact that people will eat ants and pay $280 is satirical...much like watching a Kubrick film about war.
Ants represent the "working class"..the rich eat them for their profits. Power always stems off the backs of cheap labor. Paying $280 for a meal ..is because you can. Eating an animal live....similar to big game hunting. How many pictures do you see with megalomaniacs..posing with a lion they shot? On a level playing field..the lion wins 100 out of 100 times. The world isn't what most people think it is....this has nothing to do about "eating a nice steak"
