Food for Thought

Emeril Lagasse, all the chefs on TV, a whole channel devoted to cooking and "culinary masterpieces," they show you how to fix these gourmet delights, many with great names. The Food Network, all day and all night, and even QVC cashes in on it by selling all sorts of pots and pans and food preparation items, a billion dollar industry, just to show us what to have for breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner. Fix it at home, no need to eat out. A number of cookbooks even have the recipes that they use in the restaurants, big sellers.

And, the number ONE item those restaurants sell, hamburgers.
