NO ONE in LA cooks.

No one.

In part, it's related to millennials moving into food deserts. In part, it's related to being on-call for our employers. In part it's related to all the bullshit you need in order to cook and the fact that if you have roommates the kitchen dishes will be the thing you fight about the most.

But yes. This is not new. Or, it's new, but it's not "new new."

It's illustrative to watch any cooking show of your choice and then cue up an old episode of The French Chef. Julia Child cooked for instruction. These days it's all about spectation.

As soon as I realized that every restaurant in LA is cooking for Instagram it all made sense.
