Warrior's not-tasty-food restaurant: threat or menace?

Well, it’s up to you. If you don’t want to apply for financial aid, that’s fine with us. We just want to make our restaurant accessible to everyone even though it will probably cost around $1,000 per person.

Anyway, we are nowhere near the point yet where we need to be worrying about this. We are still working out location etc.

I’ll wait for the reviews.

You can only change the way people think about food if many restaurants use a similar approach which they only will do if the “first” restaurant was financially successful. No financial unsuccessful restaurant (or any business) had any impact on any kind change in the past

It’s been said that only a few thousand people bought the Velvet Underground & Nico, but every one of those people started a band.

I wasn’t gonna bring that (the Bros review) up but….

It also strikes me as amusing that the attitude expressed by Mr. Warrior is not dissimilar to the views that Chef Slowik (Ralph Fiennes) denounces so strongly he is motivated to mass murder in the recent foodie/black satire film The Menu.

If you haven’t seen it, I thoroughly recommend it. Food. Laughs. Violence. Gorgeous cinematography.

Today’s journey begins by uniting the depths of the sea with the riches of our forests. We’ve emulsified locally sourced scallops encased in a flash-frozen seawater roe blend on a bed of foraged huckleberry foam. All bathed in the smoke of Douglas fir cones.

I’ve tried to avoid learning anything about the movie since I know I want to watch it whenever it streams, but I already picked that up from the ads.

Yeah, I don’t like to know very much about a movie before I see it. I could tell there was a murder in The Menu but didn’t know Chef committed mass murder. Now between the ads, HBOs First Look and this thread I feel like I don’t need to see it, lol.

If you like very VERY dark satire and jokes about high-end, Vespertine-like ‘food as experience’ restaurants, you will probably enjoy this, even knowing what you do. Lots of surprises still to be discovered.

But what do I know? I generally prefer my movies to be enjoyable, and we’ve been doing that for about 100 years now. Maybe Film should be unexpected and shocking and be less concerned with quotidian ‘enjoyment’, as per the Warrior’s philosophy.

My new film will consist of 3 uninterrupted hours of someone trying and failing to chop carrots into the perfect brunoise. While watching, the room will be filled with screaming children and teens on their cellphones. The soundtrack will be out of sync by 3/4 of a second.

Clearly I’m a genius. Now, who’d like to contribute to my kickstarter?

I didn’t say anything like that. People used to be all freaked out by the “Tristan chord” in Tristan and Isolde. Nowadays it barely sounds dissonant. People enjoy dissonance.

Try grapefruit sorbet with hot fudge.
