Creme brulee is good. I eat the hell out of it, but it shouldn't be on a fine dining menu. It has jumped the shark.

Why not?. People like it. They pay for it. Does fine dining have to be innovative? Or hard to make?

I've been to fine dining restaurants where bread pudding was their thing. That's been around forever.

And for what it's worth, the place I suggested was far from fine dining.

Couldn't disagree more...simple and good to great dishes are what should be on a fine dining menue that is well executed.

key is the correct "depth" of the custard. A proper torched crust to custard ratio is paramount to me

It has not and that's exactly why it should be a staple on fine dining menus, in my opinion. It's wildly popular and can be served elegantly, in addition to tasting decadent when prepared, properly. It's a great dessert option.
