A medium-rare steak is a medium-rare steak is a medium-rare steak. But how much salt does it take for it to be seasoned “perfectly.” You know it when you taste it, but what does your friend think? The person at the next table who binged on potato chips earlier that day? The smoker? And that’s just one dimension of seasoning.
Cooking and eating play on the very thin line between objective execution and wildly speculative matters of personal taste. Wine, nearly independent from matters of nutrition, even more so. Which is why I’m so excited about SOMM, the upcoming documentary about the exhaustive training, exclusive tasting, and grueling testing required to become one of the world’s few Master Sommeliers.
