Well it just so happened that the reviewers were people who knew fine dining, and the awards DID drive business to restaurants.
So it could have been a joke from the start, but accidentally became a prestigious award, that happens to be becoming a joke.
It’s also not unusual for companies to branch out into weird things like this for one-off promotional stuff. The Guinness Book of World Records was not originally intended to impress grade schoolers in the library
Fine dining like making mashed potatoes out of 50 % butter...
I want to see your reaction to Skordalia lmao, fucking like 90% garlic with a wee little tater all mashed up.
Are suggesting there’s a way to go higher? Was someone holding out on you?
Not seeing the problem here.
