Because of the health inspector, yes. The restaurant critic, now disgraced for having talked up an "unsanitary" restaurant, is eating at the new place, happy as a clam.

The social status and renown that comes with haute cuisine indeed is unimportant, it's the food that's important.

The social status and renown that comes with haute cuisine

In my mind, that was haute cuisine. I never thought of that distinction between social status and all that diminishing returns stuff.

Social status and exclusivity plays into it in practice, for sure, in a right-out fetishistic sense: Like there's chefs who have onions chopped so fine, using a special technique (not the usual chef technique you see) that they melt in the sauce, very labour-intensive. Now, having the onions melt into the sauce is a nice and valid thing, however, why in the everloving fuck aren't you using a blender. Even if there's a difference, which all my experience tells me there isn't, it's going to have such a minimal return on investment it's utterly pointless but as an exercise in exclusivity.

Also I like my potato mash chunky but that's another topic.
