Why doesn't people respect America's food culture ? ?

[Anonymous No.4193560]

>implying real Americans give a fuck what anyone thinks

[Anonymous No.4193564]

Because stereotypes.

[Anonymous No.4193566]

I'm confused, OP. Your photo simply shows what countries have how many Michelin-starred restaurants. That has nothing to do with food culture. High-end restaurants serving foreign food are not representative of normal cuisine in that country. For example, Japan tops the list with 3-star restaurants, but most of them serve foreign food (French, Italian, Chinese, etc.). Do you think that a 3-star French joint in Toyko is representative of what most Japanese eat?

Because America is fuck-huge.

[Anonymous No.4193569]

Yes, it's much larger than France, Germany, Italy combined yet they have many more Michelin stars

I'd love to have that job, and yes, I've read the story about the guy who has lived to tell the tale and hated it.

But he's a faggot and I am not.

We spend to much time stabilizing oil future for you fucking yuropors. Even though we get most of our oil from North America.

Do people really care that much about how the food looks?

I mean, I'd rather have a bucket of poo as long as it is delicious than some broccolli on a plate

Psychology is a huge part of high end restaurants, the food only tastes as good as you think it will

That's weird; I love broccoli and would way rather eat it than your delicious poo.

[Anonymous No.4193599]

>>4193592
I dunno, I've seen shit that looks disgusting but taste great and vice versa. Then again, I barely ever eat at a restaurant so maybe you have a different mentality when you are there, I don't know.

[Anonymous No.4193598]

>>4193586
It is a combination.

When I started out I didn't care the least about presentation, but after I started to master the cooking I have turned the focus to plating.

For me it is about improving the "experience" that my food gives and the visuals is a part of the experience.

And the butthurt begins.

[Anonymous No.4193630]

>>4193601
Man, I love broccoli too. We should hang out some time.

>>4193598
I guess. Like any other profession it is a skill one can train for years so it might be attractive to learn for cooks. But do normal restraurant goers care that much? Especially those who visit high-end places?

[Anonymous No.4193631]

>>4193630

Let's fuck.

[Anonymous No.4193640]

3rd on broccoli being god-tier

Maybe because we aren't extensively reviewed by "Michelin"? That's mostly a European guide.

If Yelp and Zagats were more global, it might be a little different.

>this is what hamburglar gurpling clapifats actually believe
Care to explain Japan then?

[Anonymous No.4193709]

>>4193688
There's really no explaining that irradiated island. They even eat dirt now.

[Anonymous No.4193712]

>>4193688

Just sayin'. Michelin hasn't reviewed many major cities in the US. A handful in New York and other places... meh.

If you were to ask an amerifag who is Michelin, they'd think the rubber tire dude. Not maps or travel guides.

[blazera 2879 0080 2428 No.4193731]

what's the standard by which they're measured?

[Anonymous No.4193736]

Anyone who knows anything about cuisine knows that America's contrubution is far from negligible. The methods of cooking that were perfected in relative isolation in their own respective countries were forced to blend once they reached america. The result is some ingenious combinations and twists previously overlooked. Case in point.
