Of the many, many
things that I don’t possess nearly as much expertise in, or feign to have
expertise in at least, as film, food would have to be one of the bigger ones. I
have little to no interest in cooking shows that don’t includes the words “Iron
Chef”, my taste buds have dulled from so much fast food that I wouldn’t be able
to taste each of the secret herbs & spices even if I was actively told what
they were, and I cannot for the life of me take the more cut-throat kitchen
dramas out there seriously. Maybe if I spent long enough in the more
hoity-toity restaurants of the world, then maybe seeing chefs completely lose
their shit would make a bit more sense to me. Or maybe if I had watched a lot
less of Gordon Ramsey’s signature freak-outs when I was growing up; that might've
helped too. So, with all this in mind, I’m probably not the ideal audience for
this kind of film. But it’s not as if this is the first, nor will it be the
last time that this will happen, so it’ll be regular snarky business as usual.
