Can we admit that like 70% of fine dining is just presentation and a illusion of quality? If you have good presentation, you could literally serve Denny's food cooked right to people and they would pay top dollar.

If you believe that then you've never actually had fine dining and have simply eaten at tourist trap steakhouses. Actual fine dining is expensive for a reason. No matter how pretty you make some denny's food it's not going to be made with 110 day dry aged prime beef and a demi-glace that was reduced from 4 gallons of veal broth into 3 tablespoons.

I especially like the fact that the steak is so cold that the knob of compound butter on it hasn't even started melting.

Presentation is a big part of it, but you are definitely paying for quality. I worked two years on the line of a Michelin starred restaurant (not naming names) and the difference in the products used, and the skills you need, are astronomical. I basically had to learn how to farm, they grow pretty much all of their own vegetables and fruits and herbs, and raised and slaughtered their own pigs, chicken, and cattle. You know how many times I had to get up bumfuck early and go fishing with the chef, because he wanted to do some fucking fish thing? I actually quit eventually because I got sick of playing Farmer Brown with some asshole with stupid fucking facial hair, but the quality of the ingredients in the dishes we made was incredible. Compare that to my fried chicken shack: I get all of my shit from Costco.

I think you’re mistaking “fine dining” with “haute cuisine”.

I don’t know how you can denigrate someone with that much passion. Anyone can fry a piece of chicken like a retarded nigger. Just say it was too high energy for your sluggish lifestyle and move on.

Yeah, okay, it wasn't exactly like fishing with your buttbuddies, cocksuckers, we're talking about four hours of some dickhead talking shit about everything you do, every fish you catch, and getting mad when you catch something bigger or better than the sole fucking bluegill he was able to catch after four hours, all the while constantly threatening to fire you, and then do four hours of prep for service, with all of that shit dialed up to ten, and then eight to ten to twelve hours of service, and all of that dialed up to 100, and then you have to get up the next day and pick some fucking flowers, and by the way, you only get paid for your time in the restaurant, and that wage is commensurate with what people make at denny's. Yeah, my shit ain't fancy, but it's my fucking business and I'm making a thousand times more money than when I busted my ass at some faggots place in a faggot city doing faggot shit, mostly for the privilege of being able to say I worked FOR some faggot. Not the same as crushing beers with your dad in his boat, is it?

You think I didn't think it was the coolest thing ever at first? Until I realized that I wasn't getting paid, and it also wasn't any fun. Last weekend was the first time in years that I went fishing, and I'd completely forgotten how great it is. I let some faggot who couldn't even catch a decent fish ruin something I liked.

when i studied at uni I would go eat at this highly rated Kenyan Restaurant with my book club every Thursday night and their menu was so stagnant

it really reflected poorly on their creativity and ability to innovate but i think they were scared to serve more traditional african dishes because of the elitist whites that would come in there so often

Spending obscene amounts of money doesn't mean it's fine dining. Fine dining means you have a waiter per person at the table, who basically stands there watching you eat, and they give you the whole queens spread and shit like that.
