Colors of Caviar

description

Colors of Caviar : the star restaurant is a space of artistic representation. The chef in a high-class restaurant appears both as a craftsman who controls recipes and as an artist, fanciful, imaginative, inspired, who has to achieve performances every day. The study of the menus of top restaurants is very informative: vocabulary, language patterns and used rhetoric (metaphors, metonymies, hyperboles, etc.) serve to inform us (very few) on what we will eat and to guarantee new and extraordinary and ephemeral foods. The gastronomic restaurant as a whole is a cultural place: its decor (music, painting, architecture), its rites and rhythms (the salvation of the chef, the parade of servers, the simultaneous discovery of the dishes), convince us that eating is an art and the guests are actors.
