Paper plate connoisseur detected.

>>14372571
A little bit though no joke. His shit just seems like, I don't know... a step back? Look at pic related. This looks far far more appetizing than whatever molecular mess he's conjured up.

>>14372574
I mean I don't know maybe I favor a more conservative approach to cooking? More practical maybe? I dunno. Just discussing it.

>>14372562
It’s more like performance art backed with a good understanding of flavor and texture combinations

>>14372562
sloppa coloful shit

>>14372562
It's called culinary arts for a reason I guess. In my personal opinion, I think this leans too far into the arts. I like my food to look pretty but I need it to taste good and satisfy me. This looks like it would do neither.

"Excuse me sir, would you like your Helium Baloon in a to-go box?"
-hands you a bill for $4600-

OP sounds like a greasy fatass that won't eat anything unless it comes out of a fast food bag.

>Implying brilliant cooking cannot be done by a peasant.

>>14372658
no need for flame dude OP just wants a discussion. now do you have anything to contribute or you just gonna be a dick

>>14372658
Take a look at this beautiful salad. I can see basil, feta cheese, cherry tomatoes, maybe a vinagrette reduction, bombastic red onions, classic greek olives, cored cucumber served with spices like oregano, fennel seeds, and a bit of olive oil. The beauty of this cooking in comparison to the chemical frankenstein of "art" he refers to as "food" seems almost insulting.

why is every corn-fed dumbass so afraid of a little sophistication? and not just in food, anything that makes them think or would force them to concede that maybe they don't know everything makes them freak the fuck out.

>>14372687
I wonder how many rich people would look at this and laugh and turn their noses up at this ridiculous shit. Can't you imagine something like a steakhouse to be far more enjoyable or beautiful French cuisine? At least then I recognize what the fuck I'm eating.

>>14372691
>why is every corn-fed dumbass so afraid of a little sophistication?
I don't know I can see sophistication, but as far as I can tell, this starts to blur the line from art and cooking itself. It's like a weird bastardization of cooking, even at a professional level.

I like the sauce squares but I'm not convinced about anything else.

>>14372695
steakhouses are octogenarian tier depression boomer food, no thanks. I'd rather be force fed ensure while watching I Love Lucy reruns

"french" could mean literally anything. your average french person is not eating shaved black truffles every day not that there's anything wrong with that but if you think that's "everyday food" your're smokimg crack

>this guy
>also on 4chan
>imagine the smell

An aunt and uncle of mine are on a first name basis with Thomas Keller and can get expedited French laundry reservations and are regulars at fine dining establishments, mostly from the west coast through Chicago. a sister and brother in law are following in their footsteps, also French laundry regulars and multiple other 3 star establishments. These are people who are well off but not extravagantly wealthy or wasteful, and research their options heavily before trips and committing. The four of them have nothing but praise for Alinea, never once heard a sour note about it from them and they've been on many occasions.
There's my second hand anecdote, but personally I trust their judgments. I've only been to chez panisse and then taco Maria and few other oc/la area spots

>>14372562
Dining can be art/entertainment instead of pure sustenance. Don't be such a prude

>>14372562
Imagine being told as a baby that some day you'd be able to do the same thing as an adult and get paid for it.

>>14372562
I kinda like it. It's just interesting to see what he can do with food.
I don't get why people get so triggered by it. No one's forcing you to look him up or go to his restaurant.

>>14373159
>art
>amazing renaissance
>then impressionism bringing new flavor to the bunch
>then cubism bringing new flavor to the bunch
>then modern art starting with canvases that look like this guys dishes under Jackson Pollock
>looks like trash
>A literal white piece of canvas
>it's art everyone.

That is this guy's cooking.

>>14372562
idk I think it looks kinda neat

>>14372562
That was awesome.
>"As you can see here this sauce I poured on is now turning square."
Fucking based

>>14373229
>shits on plate
>that’ll be $350 bro
>OH JOY

dumb fucking consoomer

>>14372676
that's not basil, how can I take your opinion seriously when you don't even know what basil looks like

>>14373349
is it mint?

>>14373352
figure it out for yourself

>>14372583
>I don't know... a step back?
yes, aka a deconstruction.
And yeah, the only people who fall for it are bourgeois yuppies who are tired of their rich, clean cut lifestyle but too pretentious and stimulation-seeking to simply play with their own food at home.

>>14372562
Do white people really?

>>14372562
Imagine paying hundreds of dollars for someone else to play with your food plus extra steps in front of you.

>>14372594
I don't necessarily mind the presentation of this food especially after eating at a few places like this. The combinations are indeed sound however that shit is not worth nearly $400

>>14373260
I already told you your problem. No need to confirm my point.

>>14372562
"Yeah I can cook"
>she hands you this

what do

im sure it tastes delicious and it’s an experience, but its still super gay and the guy is a fag

>>14372562
Somebody says "That's some Jackson Pollock there" WTF?? It might be but, I sure as hell wouldn't EAT Jackson Pollock. OR his art. I just looked and I can buy WAY over 50 large pumpkin pies for $365.00. And that picture..... if you did something like that to me, in a restaurant, I'm out the fucking door. Thanks for pointing this out, OP.

>>14373473
>truly paying $350 for baby shit is one of my life’s JOYS

>>14372562
He can cook classical French and Italian food at a high end level, he just chooses to do this kind of shit because he can. Why do you even care? It's not like you could afford to eat there even if you wanted to.

>>14373213
Yes..... baste.

>>14373617
>making fun of someone else on the internet because they're too poor to afford some overpriced garbage
>is rich enough to pay for overpriced garbage and is dating a literal asian slampig
Everyone point at the soyboy and laugh

>>14373628
galze

>>14373617
>why do you even care

Because it’s funny to laugh at rich idiots getting ripped off

>>14373927
>dating a literal asian slampig
Newfag.

>>14372562
>-makes a fucking mess on your table and charges you $365 for the "experience"-
Do yuropoors really pay for this stuff?

>>14373617
Do you like eating there enough to need to justify it on 4chan?

>>14372676
That's mint.
