>why do people prefer style of substance?
is your question, I think
Most people are shallow, and have no substance or taste of their own, so how can they have any discernment of anything?

>fabricating a history to make a point

You are completely retarded. There is a place for both kind of restaurants. You are only hating on the modern food because you are too poor to afford it. Modern restaurants aren't trying to appeal to your class but to the rich that have tried the traditional food a million times and find it quite boring.

>>14400000
Holy QUINTS Batman!
Also, it is sadly true that restaurants are fucked so hard by Instagram when it comes to plating.

>>14400000

SLOPPA

>>14399944
You eat with your eyes first.

>>14399944
This didn't happen. Name the restaurant.

>>14400000
>Quints
>It's a sloppa shit post
Fucking pottery

We eat with our eyes, it's a very important decision our brain makes, mostly unconsciously. only retards complain that it wasn't played nice enough, the bare minimum is enough for most people as far as arrangements and herbs on top goes.

The Instagram lifestyle has killed in the industry. Fettucine Alfredo from TGI Fridays tastes better than these fancy plated places.

Holy shit, dude. If you're going to type out such a blatant things-that-never-happened bait thread at least wait until you have a more than a 3rd grade grasp of the English language.

I read one of this dude's books in middle school. There was always something I remembered specifically from one of his books. He described how objects of necessity become more of a "fashion statement" when it becomes cheaper for a group: Clothing is for warmth and is used as a fashion statement; water is for hydration and now people have fancy fountains and own fancy bottles as a fashion statement; phones were for communication and are now a fashion statement - in the same way, food simply for survival at the more expensive and highest level is ultimately for pure enjoyment and fashion, both for those who make the food and those who consume it.

You ask why it hasn't died yet. Well sorry to say, but honestly man, it's never going to die. Living conditions and wealth are only going up. Lots of people going up on the hierarchy of needs, and self expression is high up there. The food is great, it's entertaining, and its a hell of a statement to those dining with you (and those watching your social media). People don't just want good food for hundreds of dollars - they want the creativity that they could never get on their own or from basic chefs.

It's only a cash grab if the chefs are lazy. Some of my family members went to some high end place for a special occasion. It was artsy, but the food was fucking terrible - portions were small, and some parts were basic af like asparagus among unedible flowers. They went to a mcdonalds after. On the other hand, me and siblings once went to a diff high end place and the food and presentation was fucking excellent and filling! The shit i would never be able to do myself. Depends on where you go i guess

>>14399944

So was he charging fine dining prices and not bothering to present the food in an appetizing way? Was he consciously deciding to do the minimal effort right at the end? Why did it take so long for him to correct his mistake that he had to switch vendors to account for the drop in revenue?

Your supposed friend is retarded and has no business running a business let alone a restaurant.

>>14399944
>Why the fuck is food looking pretty more important than taste?
Because people only go out to eat to post it on social media. There's a word for it - instagrammable. Your food has to look instagrammable, your boyfriend has to look instagrammable, etc.

>>14403650
are you sure it was him?
that dude is a physicist.

>>14403939
high level academics frequently provide intelligent and thoughtful insights on other topics, because intelligence and creativity arent limited to one area, except in the case of autists like you

>>14403939
yeah i know who he is. It was 100& him. Btw, he's more of a physicist for the masses, like N.D.Tyson and Bill Nye as scientists, in contrast to someone like Ed Witten or Kip Thorne. So like what >>14403960 said, they talk about other stuff.

>>14403873
Damn makes me feel old and out of touch

>Living conditions and wealth are only going up.
LMFAO this is what Americans really believe.
