        I think you’re looking for the difference between fine dining and nouvelle cuisine / haute cuisine. Think of it like the difference between a nice steakhouse where the server essentially takes your order and gives you a plate, and one of those Instagram dinners where they serve your dessert in hollow chocolate balls and serving is a more involved and delicate process because of the nature of the food you’re serving

          I have a place down the road that makes guacamole in a molcajete at the table.

          That is way harder and more impressive than pouring a little hot chocolate.

          If you can scam them into paying it then more power to you though.
