"At this point I'm starting to think the culinary world as seen on Food Network, Bourdain, etc. doesn't actually exist and is just a myth like Stanley Kubrick filming the moon landing."

"Kubrick would have had final cut of Eyes Wide Shut if he didn't die. Either way, the foundation and story development was good enough for it to stay relevant, in particular it's nearly accurate forecasting of our modern day psychological warfare environment."
