That’s both pretentious and idiotic, and an affront to human kind.

That said, I would eat a deep fried cube of hollandaise sauce.

deep frying is a true proletarian cooking method and turning into something that costs $40 a plate is a travesty

Yeah, these belong at a baseball game or a street fair, served in a greasy paper cup with a toothpick.

Deep fried stuff: good

Hollandaise: good

I see no problem except the fact that they’re probably charging $500 for it. Just bring a hollandaise packet to your friend who works at McDonald’s and make it for free

The thought, while intriguing, is also a little scary to me because it’s pretty much deep fried flavoured butter

its only bad because the people who propagated it were really douchey. it was posed as “the ultimate form of cooking” which is funny because its really just no better than a party trick

I have no idea what you’re even talking about. It’s just studying the chemistry of cooking and applying it. There’s nothing bad about it. Experimenting with food is neat.

Molecular gastronomy hasn’t been relevant since 2007 when foodies clutching Zagat guides clamored for meals to be as experiential and pretentious as possible, when “celebrity chef” culture was promoted as an unironic escape out of poverty like athletes or musicians to rationalize years of highly competitive unpaid labor to even position yourself for a chance of mild success, with your ultimate award waiting to make shit food like this for trust fund Coachella Instagrammers who were too young to remember this trend the first go around.

Damn yeah I was thinking this was something relevant to the turn of the millennium, thanks for the validation.

What’s haute cuisine up to now anyways?

I know I’m a lib because I love fancy over priced food when I can get my hands on it. But damn what the fuck man this ain’t it.

I’d pay a couple bucks for a tray of fried sauce cubes but not like $60 for this.

Not as bad as the time the French Laundry restaurant served food on iPads displaying images of plates.
