Truth Facts by Wulff & Morgenthaler for November 17, 2023

Haute cuisine is elegant and minimal.

Authentic Japanese food can be trés elegant, yet there’s more to eat.

Mid-level restaurants tend to serve the best food.

For some, the haute-r the pricing the haute-r they feel.

Yeah, just give me a cheeseburger and fries that will fill me up and won’t break the bank. (And that don’t force me to put on a tie!)

I’ve noticed that too. Plus it’s usually on a huge plate – which doesn’t help either. My biggest complaint is the entrée is usually sitting in some sauce – that I probably wouldn’t like the taste of – spoiling the whole overpriced, tiny selection.

I prefer the lower volume of food to get better quality.

The real trick is to check the kitchen. In Huxley’s “Down and Out in Paris and London”, he describes how the ritziest restaurants have the dirtiest kitchens. Of course, he was describing Parisian restaurants in the 1920s. Nothing like that could happen today – no way – no how – well, maybe.
