Have any of your recent menus contained these words:
Experience,
Foam,
Injection,
Painted.
Or just lots of “Quotations marks around innocent sounding preparations”
Basically, have you been to Minibar. If so, today’s Achewood has the cultural commentary for you.

I think I gave up long ago my right not to be a food geek. Though, the molecular gastronomy line about restaurant in quotation mark is rather appropriate. I’m still trying to figure out how El Bulli gets people to line up for a year for the unlikely chance you’ll get a table there.
YES!!! I love Achewood, and I thought of Minibar when I saw this one! (I haven’t been myself, but I have heard a lot about it from the illustrious Karen).
My first thought when I read this comic was, “Onstad is totally watching Top Chef.” Is that weird? 🙂
this is great… makes me think of alinea’s bacon on a ‘mini metal clothes-line’. very cute.
