Where did 10-course meal come from? Are we implying that because it's artisanal, it's going to be a feast? It being "art" doesn't mean there's going to be more of it, as you yourself explained, you're paying for a person who has honed their craft, it doesn't at all mean there's going to be more food.
I certainly doubt I've dined at any restaurant where there's 20 people preparing my food, even 10 seems like a stretch. But you're right, the handful of people who are preparing it probably aren't being paid what they should be. That being said, I'm certainly not paid enough to pay the wages of the whole restaurant. That $20 a head limit that I impose on myself is because that's what I can afford, on the occasion that I go to a restaurant.
absolutely. yes, I think a distinction needs to be made between what a meal can/should cost in a society where everyone is being paid fairly vs a society where most people aren't.
