The evil began with home catering when wealthy hosts abandoned the value of good literary or common home cooking in favor of smoked salmon decorated shrimp and caramelized pork standard dishes that plagued us for years at home parties. But the bad was completed and I don’t know if it was completed yet with our complete removal from the comfort of home since the removal from the home kitchen had already been accomplished and the upgrading of the restaurant to the urban consciousness as a place of entertainment. A restaurant that gives more importance to the search for decoration with often unbearable minimalistic notes to the compilation of the catalog with a description.
The dishes that reaches the limits of prescription For reasons of imitation e-commerce photo editing social projection or simply because anyone who has a lot of pepper also puts it on cabbages economic prosperity brought us foreign and as always illdigested habits. Nouvelle cuisine along with international cuisine or fusion cuisine in combination with a variety of newly deified products balsamic vinegar peppercorns arugula ginger etc. invaded our restaurants and enchanted the our cooks. The new infusions at least for the time being did not lead to a kitchen with a new character did not improve the past which in fact was usually ignored as I assume indecent and not in keeping with the decor of the premises and the list prices and of course not even intellectually did they succeed in imitating the original mostly foreign proposals from which they were supposed to be inspired.
The worst thing is that the public to whom all this is addressed did not have time to learn about the cuisine they are proposing while they have long since forgotten the cuisine they knew. He is therefore not able to take a critical stance which would eventually generate a pressure and a creative dialogue but he accepts what is offered as a preliminarily upgraded quality since only in this way can he justify the prices he is reluctantly asked to pay. This galloping of prices is complemented by overpricing of wines which is carried out in the name of the new and indeed improved Greek winemaking The future will show if a development positive for our wallets and our stomachs can emerge from this ahtarma of indolence and urbanism.
