Watch Hell's Kitchen or Kitchen Nightmares (either the original or the American ones). Who usually fucks up and gets yelled at the most? Usually arrogant, self righteous Executive chefs who think they know everything.



Cooks who think they are above anything other than caviar, fois gras and truffles are overcompensating for a lack of talent and taste with flashy, expensive ingredients.

TRY making a good chili, or french toast, or biscuits. Simple goods are often the best, and require a lot more finesse than ingredients that are good all on their own.
