Menu From "World's Best Restaurant": Looks Like Mostly Crap That I Wouldn't Eat

"This guy is doing insane shit with food."

You know what? I just want a damn steak. I don't want anything "insane" done to my meal. No bugs, no offal, no sweepings from a flower shop. Just something that tastes good and doesn't look like it escaped from H. P. Lovecraft's nightmares.

A single life contains many meals. I see no reason to limit them.

I just did the math, and a person who lives to 70, eating 3 meals a day, will eat 76,650 meals. Why not try something outside the box with a few of those?

So basically every now and then start eating the shit I find under my deck? Gotcha.

I hate this shit, it insists on itself. If they paid ME $280 I'd probably eat that stuff but not the other way round.

Sure. If you want to dedicate your life to researching and figuring out what under your deck is worth cooking and edible, then go for it. The point of a professional chef who has dedicated their life to such a thing is that they can change the way you think about food through their art.

I would like an honest breakdown of legitimate 'that is the best thing I've ever tasted' versus 'wow, they actually made that edible, perhaps tasty even' with some of those choices.

I'm friends with a prominent chef with all the bona fides. And he'll bring things to SuperBowl and seasonal parties that are a little twee, but mega ****ing tasty. Things where you go 'I thought I'd had beef before' or 'I didn't know that was possible with a toast point.' Things that just explode with flavor. But he's never come by with painted plates or bugs or shit cooked in artisinal hay.
