Out of Style?


Are Souffles officially out of style?
I was working a Chefs dinner recently and while brainstorming the final course we got to talking about Souffles. The Boss wanted the souffle as the final course to 'wow' the guest and have that amazing presentation factor. As Chefs we were all sort of burnt out on the fact of having to put this super sweet egg-white creation as the final course to our amazing tasting. We felt that souffles were awesome in the early nineties and to bring it back to finish this degustation would be a disservice...

Chefs are stubborn, there is no doubt about that. We'll keep something on a menu forever even though it doesn't sell only because we created it and we think its great. We also will refuse to put something on a menu because we think its lame even though it would sell like crazy. So I ask the question does anything ever really go 'out of style' in food? There is a reason things hang around for such a long time, if they're really really good is it even possible for them to go 'out of style'? Or is it all personal preference?
