does 'nicer' have to equal cost? I took the OP's definition of 'nicer' to mean higher quality, not cost, it seems that most folks are discussing cost/high end cuisine.
If 'nicer' equals higher quality, then yes, my travels and desire to keep trying new items has made my palette crave quality.

You must be an ex or current chef with quite a repertoire of ablilities or your tastes are limited and you cook 'in this limited range' well, I'm guessing the latter. I too consider myself a good cook but I wouldn't think that I can cook on the same level as (insert your chef of haute cusiine) or as well as the chef in some of the 'down n dirty' ethnic hole in the wall type places we go.
