first of all, why do I have to tell the chef how to make the steak? "medium rare"? "well done"? those are words made up by wizards or something. second of all I don't like how they taste. they're super expensive and they just taste so boring. chicken goated steak boring. I'm in my early 20s so I'm getting used to some "acquired taste" things slowly like wine and coffee but steak is still so bland.

A michelin chef would like, serve it on wood chips with some potting soil and like a pate and caviar aspic or some shit, and it would be the most revolting thing you've ever tasted but it cost $1000 so you pretend it's amazing to save face.

Lmao, that's not what Michelin starred food tastes like. Also, if you count Bib Gourmand food it's not even that expensive.

The wood chip and dirt thing is from an actual michelin starred restaurant showing off their deranged, awful food in a video lmao (granted it wasn't served on the food, it was served in little cups next to it with the recommendation that people huff the dirt to make the food taste "earthy"). I did make up the pate and caviar aspic thing, but that was just to characterize all the other awful things they were including that I couldn't remember the specifics.

Was it Alinea? Alinea is known for doing some pretty wacky things with presentation but it's still known for being good food.

No clue, all I know is it was posted here several years ago.

I do think that food and presentation is an art form and I would like to see fine dining made more common and affordable so it's easier to make and experience said art, even the questionable looking sort.
