Now you're talking. You are now becoming a real foodie.

Seriously, I always think certain food can only be appreciated at cheap prices, e.g. hot dogs, satay, steamed tofu, fish ball noodles, chilly fried crab, grilled octopus. The simplier the food, the more it is about techniques & freshness. Which means the cook had to have experience doing the same thing day in day out, with very fresh ingredients. You can pay tons of money to eat at Le Bernadin (which is great), but simple seafood is still fresher & a ton more satisfying at that Hong Kong hole in wall dig.
