Uh.

If someone can't tell the difference between Frozen Food and chef-prepared cuisine that says more about the patron not the food.

People who can't pick up on that difference got no business paying $100+ a plate for food.

So I was somewhat wrong. They were fed borderline expired, lower quality grocery store items advertised as fine cuisine and they were food critics. They thought the meal was wonderful because the ambience, waiter, etc.

It's somewhat related I guess idk. Go shop there if you want. I can't tell the difference between Nature's Promise and Bell and Evans, and frankly I'm happy I can't if there is one.

What you said - ingredients are barely anything in good cooking. It's all technique and prep. Freshness and a natural state (eg: not processed, raw ingredients) makes most of the difference.

There is actually a tangible diff between air chilled and washed chicken. If Nature's Promise did air chilled, there'd be no difference.

You know that Guga guy on YouTube? He's got a video of taste testing chicken and Bell & Evans is one of them.
