That's a very good point, Stephen. I do know some chefs, and you are right, they can be pretty egotistical. Nevertheless, one thing that would help the situation at large is photos of meals on the menu, like they have in Chinese places, as a standard. Funny how this is standard for Chinese places, but only them. Going further, such as video clips showing how certain meals are prepared, might work in specialized settings, such as very high end restaurants who can afford (rare) chef/actors. I will stand by the overall observation that entertainment in any/all forms is a growth area for businesses dealing with the general public. Implementation is the trick.
