/ck/ - Food & Cooking

>Is food art?
Given the way it ends up in my toilet, I'd say yes.

Anything can be art. This post is Art.

Cooking is as much art as science, because it requires the skill and creativity of the chef to adapt to rapidly changing circumstances in the kitchen.

>>18680972
it can be but most of the time no

I assume this Alinea. Not going to lie, I would absolutely spend the money to eat there once. I have been his bar in Chicago, the Aviary and it is fucking great. I'd also like to try his other restaurant that's run solely by his head chef that helped him start Alinea.

>spend 300 dollars plus drinks plus tip plus service charge for retards to smash your dinner onto a table
>watch the entire fucking thing through your phone

Yeah, that's pretty fucking stupid. If I wanted to watch them do it, I would watch Chef's Table in 4k

I know it's a fancy place but if they're gonna go do that I'm gonna go lick the table too

No, you dumb cunt. Only art can be art.

>>18680972
Idk why yku guys are seething about this. It's not like you're forking over the money to go there yourself. This is a spectacle for people who want to experience the spectacle and share it on the internet. You don't participate in this shit so why do you care?

>>18680972
yes, as long as you have a high enough iq to know that "art" does not mean "good" and instead refers to any field wherein there exists theory but best practice is impossible

>so why do you care
These people are just bursting with empathy. They can't just look on when others are wasting so much money on a meal when a bowl of greasy takeout would be so much more economical. Silly rich people don't that realize they could buy a whole pair of negro rapper endorsed sneakers for that money, so someone has to tell them. Maybe there's a wee bit of envy, jealousy, fear of missing out, sour grapes and all that too. Whatever.

The will only call this "interactive" if I get to choke the chef's head on the table when they smash those white things onto it kek

>>18680972
No, simply because art is useless. Art can have an use but essentially is useless and that is why art is so liberating, you have absolute freedom in art

Food has a use, I mean beyond satiating hunger. Food has to be tasty, food that isn't tasty isn't good food. Art doesn't have to be shit, food has.

This applies to everything else
>is publicity art?
No because it must be propaganda
>is sports art?
No because it must be a game
>is video-games art?
No because it must entertain

>>18680972
no. but haute cuisine can serve as a signal to show how cultured your are even when you're not engaged with real art, it's more like fashion in that sense.

>>18683019
That was the chef, retard.

>>18682448
i said it's art therefore it is. fact. This post is art also.
