Is there something different or special in the idea of food-as-art given that, in order to appreciate the food, it is assumed that the audience will destroy the food (by eating it)? One more thing I wonder -- is food a performing art or a fine art? You are making me hungry!

I always found the presentation of food to be artistic in some way. Food as art is very also interactive- it involves your taste buds, your sense of smell, your sense of touch, and appeals to you visually (the only thing missing here is sound). Sounds very interesting. I love trying interesting food and this sounds like something I would like. I always found the presentation of food to be artistic in some way.
