Oh, I copied exactly what you said.

I work in a department at an "elite university" and I've noticed a phenomenon related to this. Since most of the professors (and graduate students) don't have the funds to buy that Mercedes to show their eliteness, they instead become food snobs and incessantly talk about whatever fancy restaurant they went to the night before.

Actually I notice this is true of many liberals as well. Anyone else see this correlation?
