I mean this sound like being a dick to me. Like, I don't think that sports stars or actors sneer or look down on their fans for being unable to play professional sports or act, and if they did, that would be totally unreasonable.

>He idolises the head chef whilst minimising the contributions of the other chefs (not asking the other chefs name early on, not recognising the whole menu is a collaborative process with others having input beyond Slowik)

I don't see your point. These are all things that Slowik plays into. He lives apart from the other workers, and is treated differently. He builds a reputation and mystique around himself, and his workers are treated in a dehumanized fashion. A point could be made that people like Tyler bring out the 'worst' in Slowik - their desire for spectacle over craft. But that's not the point that the movie articulates. Tyler is criticized for just being inauthentic, which is boring, because everyone already hates inauthenticity.

Also, like, I've worked in food service before. I never wanted any customer to ask my name.
