Quote of the Day: Should Restaurants Cite Their Inspirations?

Should menus have footnotes? 

"I see it happening in Spanish and non-Spanish restaurants. What bothers me is when people don't credit where they took it from. When we borrow something, we give credit and name the restaurants we love in the menu...What bothers me is when people get called innovative when they've taken someone else's idea."

-Chef Alex Raij discussing how restaurant operators take an idea from another eatery and end up getting the credit. This sort of cribbing wouldn't really fly in other artistic fields, perhaps there should be a new standard for citing influences? [Eater]
