Considering nobody else has ever done what you have, and this subreddit has had any number of people holding AMAs for simply having jobs, hobbies, medical conditions, etc., or people coming here just to promote their company, why do you think you're the most pointless, uninteresting thing on this subreddit?

It seems like palate has a huge effect on how people experience foods. When designing a menu, how much thought goes into playing to the palates of your likely customers vs what the chef might personally prefer?
