Some people can not cook. Eating the slop they produce is extremely painful. Some people can cook. Most of their stuff is descent. On par with middle of the road restaurants. Some people cook very well. Their stuff is on par with higher end restaurants. Then there are people who love to cook and push the envelope. A lot of their stuff is on par with the best in the world.
Food snobs are jerks, but some people can produce spectacular food. Calling me a food snob because I sous vide (130F) my fries for 5 hours in a basic (Baking soda) solution because it creates tiny pits in the surface and triple frying them does not make me a food snob. It means I love to cook and push the envelope. You have never been to anyplace (unless top 10 in the world) that makes fries like I do and they will make you cry. Extreme crisp and almost mashed potato like interiors. Not food snobbing, rather loving cooking and thus becoming really good at it. People lucky enough for me to cook for them are ruined from the higher end places.
I'd pass 'em up for some nice, limp, greasy fries dripping with ketchup...Made from fresh, not frozen...
