The sous chef at work told me I was over-salting my pasta water

He just said 'hey, think about what that salt is actually doing' and walked off. Started using half as much and my sauces actually taste more balanced now. Has anyone else gotten a weirdly vague piece of kitchen advice that ended up making total sense?

Nah man, food blogs are about recipes not cultural observations.

Yeah that tracks honestly. I've seen the same thing pop up in a few different places lately and it's kind of refreshing to see someone say it outright instead of just dancing around the obvious. Like we've all been there where you read something and it just clicks because someone finally put words to what you were already thinking. Feels good to know other people are noticing the same stuff.
