MEDIA INDEPENDANT SUR LA RESTAURATION

WHY WE EXIST
NOT JUST ANOTHER
SEAT AT THE TABLE.
I created Foodnbullshit as a platform to go against the current and the mainstream idea that, in this industry, everything is beautiful under the clear blue sky. To torch the popular belief that there is only one narrative. One way of seeing things.
Because I don’t buy that Instagram-ready version of hospitality that is showcased every day. And mostly, I no longer recognize the industry I spent thirty years in.
Hospitality has become this management fairy tale where everybody suddenly wants to become a brand and thinks they are “visionary,” delivering platitudes about leadership, burnout, fear, addiction, anxiety, understaffing, garbage wages, or the emotional violence of this industry in carefully curated posts written from the comfort of an office.
Everything has become optimized, dull, sanitized, and safe. And to be very honest with you, it bores the fuck out of me.
This is why this website and my pages are not packed with prepackaged slogans or ready-to-cook feeds. I try to make you think, scratch the surface, and strike a nerve.
My blog and my books are far away from digital brochures picturing half-assed truths and praising all these boring postmodern concepts and menus engineered to satisfy everyone and disturb no one.
They are about the reality of the restaurant world. The brilliance, the chaos, the bad decisions, the moments that are worth coming back for.
Not sponsored by political correctness or polished by corporate talking points.
Just the behind-the-scenes and stories from the pit and the trenches that deserve to be told.
Alex Fenot.
