going back to our primal roots

I didn’t mention geographic locations, but I referenced culture differences. I’m pretty sure Ramsey isn’t a florida cracker, which is literally a florida sub culture in itself that most ppl are clueless exists.

Traveling is essentially going to someone else’s backyard to watch them live their everyday life, so I can’t subscribe to the idea that if someone experiences more cultures than someone else, it means they are a better judge. If anything, it just means they have more utility when it comes to food, but utility doesn’t equal better judgement. If someone spends their whole life fixing ONLY Gumbeaux and perfects it, Ramsey can’t come in with thousands of hours of irrelevant experience and automatically be a better judge OF GUMBEAUX.

i disagree. Gumbo is just a soup. many cultures and countries all over the world make soups and stews. ingredients are different but the process and technique of layering/building flavours is the same. any well seasoned/trained cook who understands the fundamentals of flavour building and technique can perfect gumbo in 1 or 2 gos, and by watching 1-2 videos (if needed), or just by watching someone else cook it. if someone spends a lifetime perfecting a gumbo recipe, it has more to do with local pride, and essentially - not knowing anything else. because it's actually super easy to perfect. (if you understand what creates depth of flavour/technique). and i assume if you've been cooking for a "lifetime" you should understand that in the first 1-2 years of your cooking career.

and i'm not quite sure what you mean by "utility"

@cody we gay af for trying to establish a measurement for good food

there is a measurement for good food..

[Sir Bustalot]

Generally for example people will side with a professional chef's opinion over their neighborhood crazy cat lady's opinion on food.

Utility just means your skill set is more diverse.

I just don’t like to marginalize home cooks just because they aren’t running a kitchen needing 500 steaks served in 1 hour.

Home cooked meals will always be better than a restaurant IMO.

the thing is, you need to go out to eat to become a better cook. you need to compare your cooking with others and see how they balance and create flavours.

when we think of our favourite old time cooks, like grandmas cooking, most of the time it's not because it technically tastes better.. it's the nostalgia that comes with it. we all know grandma over cooking the spaghetti noodles, and not putting enough salt in her food
