It reeks far more of insecurity than it does "passion" or anything else. Like everyone else's but them is wrong and if even one things changed their entire dish would be ruined. Having passion for the restaurant means taking your patrons custom seriously and not acting like they're inconveniencing you exchanging money for services rendered.


I think whether that's true or not depends on whether you think of that restaurant simply as a food service or an experience. Did you go there just to fill your belly, or did you go because you heard it was the best steak joint in town and you wanted to find out what the fuss was about?

Tell you what I don't understand. Going to somewhere because you've heard it's special and then altering all the food so it's just like how you'd have it at home. Why even bother? I mean it's your money, but I don't understand people who will fork out $50-100 to have steak just like they do at home. And if you order that tenderloin or whatever and then ask they don't season it, that you want it well done, and you want a side of ketchup...that's just what you'll get. A steak completely indistinguishable from what you had at home, but for $60. I can't imagine you'll be satisfied with that.

And the chef probably isn't happy either, because he just wasted a prime cut of beef.

Anyway, I'm playing devil's advocate here. Sure, a lot of these chefs and restaurants are unnecessarily snobby and don't respect their patrons. I do think that customers act entitled as shit too, though.
