    It's always about the story. Same reason restaurants get 2 and 3 michelline stars. It's about how pretentious and fancy you can make everything surrounding the meal and not about the meal itelsef.

      I've eaten at a 2 star Michelin restaurant. It was definitely theater and not a meal. The Menu is one of the best dark humor movies I've ever seen because it's honestly not that far off lol

        One star restaurants are the way. They usually have been so focused on their cuisine at that point they haven't yet become super pretensious. Plus you actually have a shot at getting a table at these.

        Loved it as well. My girlfriend and I will sometimes say Yes Chef when one of us asks the other for help with something.
