FOOD THREAD VOL. GRUB LIFE

He basically created an empire off of memes, strong-arming A-listers, and looking like a Turkish B-Grade Johnny Depp.

Dude stole my lunch money and took my chair in the lunch room back in 2002.

Didn't let it die then, not about to do it now.

Can I take a moment to say "**** this guy" while I'm here?



His food always looks okay, but nothing special. Just a gimmicky chef using gimmicky techniques that's created a celebrity following to hype up his mediocre food.

This video in particular did it for me though. I just assume any food coated in gold leaf isn't all that great and it's being used to mask that for a cash grab. There are a lot of expensive foods out there where the price tag is (arguably) justifiable based on quality of ingredients, technique, time, etc. Gold leaf is about as lazy as you can get to jack up the price on any food. Basically just pandering to the "easily distracted by shiny things" crowd.

Immediate dismissal of any food with gold leaf should be the expectation moving forward.

I personally just don’t really care enough to get mad about him/his food. His IG videos are goofy entertainment.

heard his miami location is trash

His NYC location is trash as well.

Is that gold leaf even edible or is just a garnish?

It just looks like foil paper to my uncultured eye.

Nobody's mad. I'll give the dude credit for being able to use social media to build an empire. His food just looks like average steakhouse fare that he jazzes up with his overdramatic instagram videos.

He's a great showman, but his food is about as run-of-the-mill as it comes.

Wrong site to be asking this question this on.
