'Nday. Nothing, one wakes up and starts thinking, asking a few questions. I'm not talking about us gastroes (you decide what) who in learning from the newspapers that Massimo Bottura is "the greatest cook ever" we struggle like schoolgirls. For us who sleep with the Espresso (and Gambero Rosso and Michelin) guide on the bedside table, this is the most beautiful thing seen in eons but basically also the most normal. The same goes for "the charge of the forty-year-olds" (Massimo, Pino, Niko, Carlo, Davide, Tonino …) No, I am thinking of the gggente, of those who look at things with a certain detachment. And today perhaps we ask:
But is Massimo Bottura really better than Gianfranco Vissani? And Niko Romito is better than Gualtiero Marchesi? But seriously, are Massimiliano Alajmo's dishes better than Heinz Beck's? Better 100 euros spent by Paolo Lopriore of Canto di Maggiano or by Alfonso Iaccarino of Don Alfonso? If I decide to get plucked, do I go to the Trussardi Alla Scala or the Pinchiorri Enoteca? They are equal? Better once in a lifetime at Davide Scabin's Combal. Zero or at the Tamani brothers' Embassy in Quistello (as long as it is possible to go there). But above all, why did we not feel the need to invent a vote (19, 75) for Fulvio Pierangelini?
Nothing, one wakes up and asks a few questions. So, just to pass a few minutes.
