Robert Brown Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 I and three of my pals from Turkey have written a substantive essay on the above topic. I think you will like it. It is a co-production of Gastromondiale (www.gastromondiale.com) and my newly-renamed site Restaurant Politics. (www.restaurantpolitics.com). I have also posted on my own an essay that is about two polar opposites: The World's 50 Best Restaurants list and the Slow Food's 'Osterie d'Italia". 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rail Paul Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 That's a thoughtful article, Robert. Thanks for sharing it. The link in Eat Like a Peruvian touches on some of these issues. The need for Peruvian chefs to promote the ingredients, while strengthening the young chefs of tomorrow. Creating value, and a future income for people in the business. The three Lima restaurants mentioned in the article have agreed to leverage their mention in the World's 50 Best list precisely to energize more price, more participation, etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sneakeater Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 I think you're misreading Robert et al.'s article. Their point -- with which I heartily agree -- is that restaurants like Central disregard (and by their success help destroy) Peruvian culture rather than perpetuate it. They're a bad influence, not a good one. And their ostentatious "ethical" projects are sanctimonious at best, hyprocritical at worst -- and an attempt to get attention from the SP "gastronauts" in any event. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
