Food is like anything else; some people take it more seriously than others, but I don’t think that means they are necessarily enjoying it more. There is snobism in food, and in wine and the danger is that one is wrapped up in the idea more than the actual experience. Cooking is actually much easier than people think, and entertaining people can be rewarding, but the costs can be the same as eating out. Many start ups begin with a romantic notion, and ignore the hard facts. Margins in restaurants are very low and failure rates are very high.

Food appreciation is a growing global phenomenon, and it’s interesting to see how new food meccas are catching up with the die hards. Some of the best food I’ve had has been in South Africa, and some of the most mediocre fare I’ve had has been in France.

Here’s a few indicators of a “good” restaurant:

1) It is a well kept local secret
2) You need to reserve well in advance
3) The chef is very talented (you notice the difference on his day off), and has a cult following

Organic food is expensive because but it doesn’t have the same economies of scale, but the premium you pay is investing in your children’s future. Growing your own is a good idea. The climate is California is great for so many things like herbs, fruits etc.

Even some of the best Asian restaurants employ Mexicans for food preparation. If there was a depreciation in culinary standards, Asian people wouldn’t eat it.

I think we are all guilty of being “one of nature’s burdens” to some degree or other, but I suppose a first step is recognizing that.

Rustico, you’re on to me. I’ve obviously given too much away. Developers look to who is their customer, and as you say they get their own way. Coastal regions the world over have been developed, without consideration for either natural beauty or culture. Inevitably, there follows anguish and regret when it is realized the indelible blot on the landscape, careless development causes. Even the French Riviera has been the luckless victim of a free-for-all building diarrhea. Of course, everyone has the right to live where they choose, and ‘elitist’ pristine views of cultural preservation hold no sway in an egalitarian world. The moment matters, and the past is becomes irrelevant.
