    Dude, that last statement is so humble. "It's very simple food, but there's a lot to it."
    Sir, this may seem like simple cooking to you but I can guarantee that the majority of the population does not. I, for one, don't think this is simple food.
    This is an incredibly unique amalgamation of flavors and techniques. If you care about something, you will do your due diligence and R&D the hell out of a dish to make it the best version you deem possible.
