Why does Veeky Forums hate Jiro Ono?

These. It's only a small number of people who even care.

Jesus Christ, how empty must their life be...

Jiro > McChicken

The Jiro shill gets a lot hate because Americans can't stand the fact that a Japanese Yoda is beating them at their own capitalist game.

For me it's the win.

Because he literally just slaps rice and fish together and claims it's something fantastic

nah, it's a bunch of /tv/ autists who spill over

People pay for it tho. Makes you feel for worthless for trying so hard and failing while this guy does so little and succeeds. Rite?

America, wifely regarded as the 'land of excess' is learning that sometimes less is more.
And learning hurts their head.

Americans can't grasp nuance and skill. Something that's actually special, like an Antonio Stradivari could be sitting in front of them, and it would just be a fiddle to those callow, boorish people. They're coarse, horrible people that know next to nothing, and that's how they judge their world.

Was he always so autistic or did he just have an ordinary shop in the old days where you could get a beer and order what you wanted?

You've never met anyone at the height of their profession, have you?

A stradivarius is just a fiddle to the majority of people, even people who consider themselves musicians have a hard time telling the difference in sound.

ressentiment

no, no they don't. That's why laboratories have been dedicated to the analysis of Strads for decades. They've gone so far as dipped the spruce in apple pecin (which actually worked a bit).

If you actually spend any time in music, you can hear a strad across the room. Not that Guarneri del gesu would sound that much different.

This virtuoso youtube.com/watch?v=o1dBg__wsuo&list=RDkFaq9kTlcaY&index=4 uses a en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-Baptiste_Vuillaume

I actually owned one back in the late 80s. But you can hear how bright it is, how thick the wood is.

One is a $10,000 dollar instrument, the other is, by now, 2 million at least.

People can easily appreciate nuance when they know what they're listening to or tasting. It's the reason these people can charge what they do and why you have wait half a year for the privilege.

give me money GIVE ME MOENY

people overexaggerate how much he asks for it.
the tasting menu(which consists of 20 pieces) is about $300 which is pretty much standard for a tasting menu in a restaurant with 3 michelin stars.

plus you don't spend extra money on expensive wine pairings.

food documentaries are a blessing and a curse

These fucking rag wearing homeless assholes don't know anything about fine dining. They're just dumb kids headed for prison that want to tease like grade schoolers.

the michelin guide agrees that it's fantastic

>They're coarse, horrible people that know next to nothing, and that's how they judge their world.

Such an absurd sweeping generalization, you must be an extremely bitter person which is why you project.

>Was he always so autistic or did he just have an ordinary shop in the old days where you could get a beer and order what you wanted?
I'm sure he didn't have months of reservation wait time, $300 minimum prices, and rules about how to eat when he first started.
But he also wouldn't have hardly any non-Japanese customers so he wouldn't have the same need to try to correct people from not acting in Japanese socially normal ways in the context of a sushi stall.
And the money / reservation wait time isn't really his fault, it would be stupid for him to lower the price or try to service more customers sooner since the demand's already way too high as it is. It would mean deciding to make less money for way more work while also making the excessive demand problem even worse so that he'd be forced to do a less thorough job or to start having a bunch of other sushi chefs handling the business instead of doing it himself.
