What is Food about?

Food is necessary for a human to survive in this harsh, often horrific (think Virginia Tech Massacre) world. Hopefully, we eat at least 3x a day, if not more, so why not enjoy it? Indeed, I do delight in gustatory ecstasies. However, an experience that engages all the senses in a harmonic concerto is hard to find.

Think of it this way:

food= solo instrument
presentation, background sound, service, atmosphere, interior, lighting = accompanying instruments

bad company means: you are much more appreciative about suggesting or agreeing to a restaurant with fantastic food and presentation, staring at the food in satisfaction until your plates are taken away

good company means: you've just landed yourself a good time for the next few hours
