What is a good Restaurant

Is it the decor....the ambience....the amount of people.....the hype created.....the amount of alcohol consumed? Most people have no idea about food, they are in essence what there mothers fed them. In an ever fast moving world where there is no time for most people to have a decent meal food has fallen by the wayside. Celebrity chefs have excited people to the idea of trying to scramble an egg...........roasting potatoes. Food is simple...timing is everything.....but cooking food is simple...turning a cheap cut of meat into a fantastic stew or soup is easy.....time is the key. Most people do not seem to have it.

So therefore we go out to eat...most people as they know nothing about cooking equally know nothing about different cultures and their food. If it is chinese, indian, mongolese or whatever they know nothing and their stupidity means they cannot distinguish good chinese food from bad. So what makes a good restaurant.............the food and only the food...................................the restraunteer either has a good chef that loves food or a palooka. I am of the opinion that every restaurant should be forced to have a trained passionate chef in the kitchen...................and then maybe you will begin to notice the differences in good and mediocre food.
