It doesn't really contextualize this cooking at all and $30 for a chicken leg is fucking ridiculous. you are paying a premium because it's Ludo. I get that, but even at Bouchon—another name-driven place—$30 buys you the entire chicken. And it's Thomas. Fucking. Keller.<br /><br />Also, it's bistro food.

Oh wait... I think I saw you there the other day.<br /><br />In all seriousness, if Kevin tells you the price, you can decide whether its worth the price or not. Michelin doesn't knock a restaurant down a star for being pricey.

If KevinEats said that the omelette represented good value, what would that mean? Even if we all shared preferences, the appeal of a given year of meals is not independent of the composition of meals. Imagine listing your highest value courses for each price. You would not necessarily be happiest exclusively eating from that list. Transitivity is for academics. The percentage spending on wealth also plays a role. If one type of candy was better than another by a miniscule margin, but cost 2 cents to other at 1 cent, you would probably pay 2 cents. It's just not a significant portion of your wealth, yet you experience a noticeable improvement. <br /><br />Who can deny that there is consumption inequality? It may have serious negative consequences. But there may be more appropriate venues for tackling inequality than a food blog comment section.

Wait, I didn't miss those sections. <br /><br />This isn't hating either, just actual facts. It's clear he's got the cash so let's see a little international coverage.

With tasting menus it can sometimes be difficult but with single dishes not so much and a single chicken leg for ~$30 or steak frites for ~$40 is definitely worth a discussion if the food is "this" good or a chef is trying to cash in on his name otherwise a blogger appears more to be a uncritical "chef groupie"TWO FOODIES – ONE JOURNEYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05574705719639113447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8667271330300336985.post-87118858786601176222014-08-01T09:03:36.519-07:002014-08-01T09:03:36.519-07:00Thanks for posting man!
