I cannot imagine what the late, great Julia Child would think of all the science projects that pass for fine dining these days.

My guess is she’d be horrified.

I envision Julia — or Meryl Streep as the cinematic French Chef — bellowing as a hipster waiter placed a plate of foam, gel and smoking liquid nitrogen in front of her: “Yes, it’s pretty, but where is the foooooooood?”

God bless you, Julia. You are missed.
