      My mother wanted to take me to a michelin star restaurant for my birthday and said it would be the best meal I ever had. I told her I would prefer to go to Texas Roadhouse, have EVERYONE'S meals total less than that 1 star restaurant charges for one, and it would still be the best meal I ever had, I would enjoy it more, plus as an added benefit, I would have enough to enjoy it a second time as leftovers instead of leaving hungry.

You end up eating 3-5 mouthfuls per dish, but it equals around 30-50 mouthfuls per meal. You are well and truly full by the end of it, and have also had an amazing journey of tastes and experiences.
      A lot of people unfamiliar with fine dining laugh at the small servings of a dish, without realising that they are part of the larger experience and meal.
      "I'd still be hungry" is the battlecry of those that just do not understand.

    i might be wrong but this is the only chef Ive seen on mise en place that didnt do anything hands on in the kitchen. (At least no video of it anyway, other than some minimal plating)
