Yeah whatever. How about we stop talking about it too? How about you don't even bother to try to create a dish that's really fantastic if it's just food? How about you decide to change your career because if you really thought it was "just food", you wouldn't be a chef in the first place. Geez.

...and whatever you do, don't dare photograph your plate when it arrives. Leave the weak plating with runny ingredients to the imagination.

The proliferation of digital cameras along with websites like lastnightsparty, food blogs, etc. has produced a culture of people that seem to have some kind of obsession with documenting every minute of their lives. It's gotten to the point where the purpose of an experience(meal, concert, party) is the photos. It's not about actually experiencing the event--it's about having photos of you experiencing the event. Viva narcissism.

"Wildly hyped", huh? I believe that, given that if they so much as run out of hand towels, Gothamist publishes a story instantly.

You're just a chef. Cook.
