I like to think they took the coffee that's shat out of a cat's rear end in a top hat and made it even more pretentious by just dumping the beans into a cup after the cat shat them out and that brown thing is chocolate made from cat poo poo.

I think the plate in the OP is for resting your nuts and tiny dick on. That's why it's shaped so weird.

I feel like only nouveau riche and like maybe single-digit millionaires eat the actual food at these places. The “real” rich people are like that Saudi prince a poster mentioned earlier who came in and ordered a steak and fries that was probably $300 and worth every penny.

Imagine being the Guatemalan dishwasher making minimum wage and knowing you'll have to wash a bunch of plates that only had that tiny amount of poo poo food on them.

Personally, I prefer shirtlessly eating fried chicken over the kitchen sink to getting all dolled up and going out for a night on the town, but both have their merits.

Love the goons whove survived on frozen ValuTime pizzas, Mountain Dew Code Red, and Soylent for the past two decades scoffing at fine dining and blaming "hipsters" for degustation menus. Its not for everyone but tasting menus give chefs the opportunity to tell a story and showcase a variety of flavors and concepts within a meal. Like, you don't order this "small food" a la carte. Its part of a larger service. The thing about "molecular gastronomy" (a buzzy term im not fond of) and modern techniques in general is that its very very high ratio of input to output. Grilling a steak isnt much work, but spherification of a broth made with locally foraged mushrooms and wild herbs is a ton of loving work, and it might be one component of a canapé with 9 components. So, at the very least appreciate that someone who really, truly cares about cusine and creating a sensory experience for guests has put a ton of work onto the plate to maximize your enjoyment for a fleeting moment.

I worked fine dining and did private events where we put on these sorts of meals in peoples homes. Some clients were indeed very wealthy but Id say most of it was middle class people looking to commemorate a special occasion or milestone. There is a world class restaurant where I live and I think its $160/pp for their tasting menu. Obviously its expensive but not absolutely out of reach for like a wedding anniversary or something. Theyve been in business for a while and are booked out on weekends, obviously theres a market there for people who arent monopoly guy rich. I think people become purposefully obtuse when it comes to aspects of fine dining and just refuse to try to understand. Obviously theres a difference in quality between a Mcdonalds cheeseburger and a freshly ground steakhouse burg. Fine dining is pushing out to the limits and trying to rev up that quality of experience. It doesnt have to be crazy new cuisine either, although thats mostly the thing people are shrieking mad about. You can apply the same principles of care and preparation, sourcing the highest quality ingredients, and apply it to a really old school dish like prime rib and have amazing results.
