I've been watching cooking shows lately, trying to learn to cook and get ideas, and almost every dish they make they do that zigzag olive oil thing across the top. It's always in one of those bottles with the spouts on the top and seems like it's a meme now.

Is there a reason for this??

They may try to convince you its olive oil but its actually guy fieri's flip flops rung out into a glass bottle.

It adds flavour? In any case, better a decent olive oil than that "balsamico" sugar syrup. Horrible.

Balsamic vinegar is good in a lot of dishes.

Balsamico Cremoso is usually a devilish industrially-made concoction entirely unlike balsamico vinegar. It is pungently acidic and cloyingly sweet and zigzagging it is a sign of a clueless cook.

Not far off from the truth. At least for Italian "olive" oil.

I don't know what you're doing with it, but I simply put it on tomato and mozzarella instead of Balsamico vinegar. Works for me.
Usually I alternate between those two.

They do it to look cool which is kinda important in television.

I still cook with butter. Recipes almost never start with butter anymore, it's always olive oil now. Has everybody fallen for the "butter makes you fat" meme?

But it's after the entire plate is done. They pour it on sort of like a garnish.
