Was anyone else rubbed the wrong way by that closing paragraph? It almost seems like in bad attempt to sound 'deep' makes little of everything that went into the meal.

Interestingly Nathan has a recipe for the 'ultimate burger' http://modernistcuisine.com/2011/12/the-ultimate-burger/

Not me. Though the author is gracious to Mhyrvold and recognizes the rare opportunity to join in this meal, he does not seem especially complimentary to the food. Actually, he seems unimpressed. Despite all the technical wizardry, the meal might have simply fallen short of something prepared simply. It's a valid opinion.

Then perhaps he was the wrong person to do the article considering thats quite a contrast to Adria's (who has quite established ethos in tasting/food) seemingly positive opinion of meal.
