Foodies How I Hate You

I think it's great that those who eat out have become more educated about the foods they eat and how they get from farm to table and all the processes in between. This knowledge has helped change the landscape of the food industry from farming, shipping, storing and a million other aspects. This is great, it helps improve and provokes the industry to grow and take a more proactive look at itself and how it impacts it's environment and community. That Being said there is something inherently aggravating a know it all customer. First most don't know it all, they know part of it or none of it. What you read in an article makes  you more informed but not an expert. For one there are a million versions of every dish in existence so to tell someone this is not the proper way to make something is asinine. Yes there is a traditional way to make every dish, but if everyone made every dish the traditional way there would be no need for the millions of restaurants. Second guessing the kitchen staff wins you no points and actually can work against you when you want the chef to go out of their way for you. Usually the phrase not able to do it comes to mind. Also just because you just came back from said destination on vacation does not mean the staff wants to hear about how they did this dish this way  or it tasted that way.Good for you. Eat it and enjoy it  or order something else. The people who are working hard to serve you and cook for you don't care about how the indigenous people of wakka newi made what ever it is you are eating. Their only concern is the food you are eating at this very moment.
Now on to those who have no clue but think they do. Stop it, this is not  high school. Trying to make yourself look intelligent with sporadic bits of food knowledge that you have sewn together to form our self inflated culinary knowledge does not make you smart. It makes you a smart ass. We all know you have no clue because usually you can barely pronounce half the things you are talking about or you basically repeat the same things over and over just in a different way. So let me repeat stop it. You are not endearing yourself to anyone. Stop It.
