For example Noma gets some press for having ants crawling around your plate. Now every hack chasing a star is throwing insects on your plate. "Catch them, its fun". I could do that outside and save $600. Or they shit all over the tablecloth and tell you to eat it. So bold, so creative, so unappetizing. And it's not modernist cuisine I'm against. I actually really enjoy it. It's when it adds nothing or even hurts the dish. Gordon Ramsey actually called this out on one of his shows where he was trying to find a best new restaurant or some shit like that. The chefs were just insisting to their customers that they should eat this meat they prepared and the customers just thought it was gross and unprepared. They were technically right that the meat was safe to eat. But nobody actually wanted to eat it. And they fault the customers rather than their own arrogance. Ramsey then correctly reminded them what their job is.
