Yeah, Cyn, there is a "too far" with most things.
I'm reminded of how I read somewhere that most people can't discern differences in quality and nuances with most wines priced above $20... therefore, most people should be spending only $10 or $20 on wine. Unless, of course, they're trying to impress people.
I'm also reminded of a restaurant here somewhere that apparently flies in fresh French bread daily for those who want "authentic French bread." Yes, because no one here knows how to bake bread very well, you know.
And artisan bacon? Wow, who knew?
