When talking about culinary capital, you can often see that it takes a major role in our daily lives. The concept culinary capital is used to understand how and why certain food-related practices signify the power on those who know about it. I chose to connect the “Gramercy Tavern Restaurant” because many items on this menu are expensive. This connects to culinary capital because it plays a social role that offer a status to individuals. It’s the concept of someone showing off about their knowledge or financial status through the culinary world. For example, if I were to invite a couple of friends out to eat at the “Gramercy Restaurant “they will immediately think I have “money”. Many will utilize culinary capital to create and support their identity so that they will be consider a “good citizen”. Although being a “foodie” is semi normal in this generation this is another way culinary capital affect our life daily. We will continue to see how the food world will have several impacts on our daily lives as the years go by.
This is certainly one important way of thinking about culinary capital. I wonder, though, in this Instagram age if you can’t build culinary capital without spending a lot of the monetary kind.
I agree with your thought about culinary capital. Food is not simply just something we consume to survive on anymore. It also displays our social status. For someone, food shows that they’re noble class. For some people, food is showing a healthy lifestyle. And for some others, food is a tool for earning incomes. Because of that, it leads us (who want to operate a restaurant) to the deeper concern of using the money to run a business. I have a target in future that opening a restaurant. But now, you bring me to another matter that how to attract customers’ attention without spending a lot of money into my future restaurant.
