David Brooks Thinks Class Has More to Do With Where You Eat Than Where You Work

Completely agree, though if I do try food from other countries I want to have it as close as possible to how it's enjoyed by discerning locals ... I'm not sure if that counts as being snobbish?

Some people I work with have literally the same sandwich every day ... Pa Amb Tomaquet is a national dish that invokes pride (if done right) while also being thoroughly working class.

What I've seen of fancy places is the "peasant food" is fancied up with "better" ingredients, or the recipe is changed, which just turns my appetite off ... fortunately that's not a frequent problem for me since I can't afford to spend on eating out, lol
