The attention is exactly what you wanted, you probably just didnt expect others to react the way they did.

OK. I hear you with this. Talking about somebody treating their cooking like a craft that they take pride in.
For the poster that said Atlanta, we are not a food appreciation town any more than BR is. There are lots of foodie options because of sheer size.

that's only the lead-in
what he's actually doing is chastising his neighbors for not having enough supposed "passion" about food the same way he does. He's romanticized the "it's me against the world" notion that he's going to single handedly, one man, on a quest of destiny, bring proper food culture to his people, and they will rise up and destroy the evil that is spreading throughout the city in the form of chain restaurants.
It's preposterous

how often does an affordable restaurant offer these dishes?

like i said, there are a handful of cities that have the economic resources and elitist culture to fund those sorts of dream factories of the chef.
and this same argument appears in many cities with a variety of industries. do you think that a brilliant computer programmer is going to stay in louisiana? a prodigy in finance?

I understand.
He's passionate about it and it can come across as chastising. I don't really take it that way, but: I don't live there (although I am a BR defender
) and I can see where it can seem that way.Posted on 7/15/11 at 8:06 am to Tigertown in ATL
mike has put in work across varied boards on this site for years
he'll post in OT threads about BR and say that BR's problems all end up relating back to our non-appreciation of his favorite types of food, for example

So, you took a pic of your pasta, just in case you needed to post it after midnight. Do you do this with all your meals?

Lighting a fire under you and trying to inspire you to aim higher is, I suppose after it's all said and done.
As was said by SFP, and the point of all this is WE are the market, and so we determine the food here. Like with politics, food as well can be said to be simply a mirror reflection of the people on a whole. In both instances we have nobody to blame for our troubles but ourselves in the end. We are it's enablers, and it is we who choose greatness, mediocrity, or complete failure. Similarly, the answer to all our problems in a democratic society can only be found within ourselves.

Here and places like it? Almost never.

Just not here huh? Then why pray tell sir do we have a culinary school in Baton Rouge Louisiana if we have no place for that kind of stuff here? Is it simply a means of educating them to move elsewhere like with LSU and other universities in the state? Is that the point? Love it or leave it, or do those who live here have a say and perhaps a responsibility to take the area serious, even in trying to get people to think bigger than the big old country town we've all heard it called for eons now?

in what way, shape or form can you possibly think that by projecting your delusional feeling towards food onto other people (then condemning them for not agreeing with you) is anything but preposterous. What grade of concrete is your mind made of that lacks the sight to see that you are alone in this notion, this quest of yours, to right some perceived injustice?
the desire to achieve greatness thru food is not some universal truth that all should strive towards. And a flat out "frick you" for being so pompous to think you are superior for your beliefs

dont you see, you myopic idiot - You're the only one that sees this as "trouble"
this isnt gay rights, or abortion - it's merely food. The fact that you somehow have equated the quality of restaurants to some sort of social barometer is absolutely, 100% delusional. Seek help.

What do think the food scene is in Providence, R.I? Or Charlotte N.C.?
would they pass your rigorous litmus test? Are they "evolved" enough for you?

I enjoy a good meal as much as the next person, but at the end of a long day of dealing with real-world shite, my wife and I just want to get a bite to eat, have a couple of beers and go to bed. I don't really care where that meal comes from as long as it isn't terrible and it fills me up.
Every now and again I'll go seek an "inspirational" meal, but that quest is something that I (and most people) don't really think about 99% of the time. Call yourself an artist all you want, but when everyone disagrees with how important you think you are....the problem ain't them, it's you.

Why are you even posting on a food board if you care so little about FOOD?
And furthermore, why do you find it necessary to call people names in order to try and score points?
Additionally, why am I the bad guy and seen as coming down on people when it's really you and yours who have done nothing but throw personal insults in my direction? THEN, when MDT retaliates, I'M the bad guy.
You know what Stu, I know exactly where I stand and I suppose have the bare minimum amount of courage to stand up for what I believe on a freaking forum, regardless of if it's popular opinion or not. Why is it that you simply cannot take that for what it is regardless if you believe in it or not, and just show a little respect for it? Do you not have anything that you really believe in that you are willing to stand up for?
I never started this thread with the intention of personally attacking anyone. It's simply a hypothetical related to food and the lack of emphasis I see us, as a South Louisiana city, as having in regard to that food. Being in South Louisiana, an area both renowned for it's staples and supposedly for it's food, I have to question why anyone from here would be so disinterested in having better food and food options, even to the point of just getting mad as hell at anyone who dared to propose the concept of aiming higher as a people when it comes to our food. That sir is very strange being where we are and what we so claim is our greatest attribute, the food and culture of the area.

I didn't compare. I drew a parallel to illustrate how democratic people determine their own fates, and how our current situations, whether good or bad is a direct reflection of the choices we make.
Try again.

And if you were only wanting to "better yourself," that would be one thing - but instead all you are doing is blaming others for not seeing it as you do.
