But IDK, seems like they're doing something anyone can get good at without much practice.
They may be experts in their field, but that makes no difference in what I like or dislike, an expert in making vinagar may say "this is the best vinagar in the world" but that won't change the fact that I don't like vinagar!
BINGO!
You hit the nail on the head!
With food, it does not matter about price or presentation, if you don't like it, it does not matter that others do like it. It is just food. I care only about liking it, not price or presentation.
One can only argue taste and presentation if it is something they like. But nobody is obligated to like something as if food is a script.
I hate anchovies, others like anchovies. I hate olives, but others like olives. I like pineapple on pizza, others hate it.
There is no right or wrong to food.
I just watched a food show in which a pizza joint put kiwi on their pizzas. It looks weird for sure, but knowing how I like pineapple on pizza myself, I saw that and looked at it willing to give it a try.
