Comment on Robot chefs take over at South Korea’s highway restaurants, to mixed reviews
3abas@lemm.ee 1 day agoThe first paragraph is a fantasy.
In this restaurant, where the chef was replaced by a salad machine, the “chef” was a human salad machine before. There was no time to play with garnish and playing, they weren’t serving Michelin star food. The term “chef” is used very liberally here, you aren’t a chef if the only thing you cook at a restaurant is assemble salad that a machine can do to the same standard.
They were assembling salads, it wasn’t a dream job.

Literally not a fantasy, but my and a lot of cooks reality.

You assemble the same soulless food everyday and you actually feel fulfilled by assembling croutons differently every day?
Hey, I can’t imagine the process not becoming muscle memory and for my brain to not be somewhere else completely, but you sprinkle salt off your elbow if that gives you joy.
