My meta issue, and I've probably stated this before, is that I don't believe cooking and/or eating well ought be viewed as a challenge.  I think part of the demise of a good food culture was predicated by Iron Chef, and all the shows that followed.

 

I wasn't going to say anything, but eating "cheap" and ignoring quality, isn't that the antithesis of eGullet? I mean, it's great if you can do it, but it seems to be an afterthought. I'd rather read about great food.

 

And I don't feel bad posting this, because OP can post this at any other forum and get lots of participation, but I'd like to see eGullet as Food-Network-Free as possible.
