On The Rich Are Different: They Eat More Money
Gee, Lionel, why'd you buy that lobster roll if it's too pricey?
Claire, thank you for exploring this as an issue of privilege. I know a lot of us [privileged people] do not believe in this, or rather, don't want to be distracted from planning our next meal to think about it, but you're right on.
Why did you leave out the snout-to-tail rockstar pork butcher craze, though? Putting pork belly in every appetizer fits right in with your thesis, further invoking the superiority of old-school resourcefulness.

BTW, I do think there is an ethical component to snout-to-tail eating. Waste not want not. But a crackling is still bad for us even if it was made in the kitchen in Wicker Park rather than a factory.
