The Smaller the Fry, the Bigger the Outcry

In the past, I’ve taken on Rachael Ray, Tommy Tang, Emeril Lagasse, the producers and stars of Iron Chef America, Top Chef, Next Food Network Star, and the like, and rarely heard a word. If anything, readers tended to agree with me.
However, when I remarked on Tuesday that I expected more out of a chef doing a cooking demontration than his aunt’s (no doubt unsurpassed) recipe for macaroni salad, friends of David Livingston, the demonstrating chef, rushed to his defense and to my character assassination.
Fair enough. Opinions are like those noted body parts, the nose and the rear-exit trap (which goes more approrpriately by a vernacular A-word), so my opinions are just as good as anyone else’s and vice versa.
However, expectations are expectations, and if a cook at a demo wants to use his aunt’s recipe, his aunt had better go by the name of Julia Child.
Anyway, all this has led me to come up with another adage: "The smaller the fry, the bigger the outcry."
