I hope they're effective in this context! I think the concepts are similar, but I feel weird because I don't want to connote the same importance about salads that artists do about artistic things.
Mm. Yeah, there's a line, but it's very fuzzy and hard to pin down, and your mileage will vary for any given example. I tend to find reading chain restaurant menus an exercise in pretension (fancy language dressing up far-less amazing food items), but just describing the sensory qualities of food in artsy language is often the best way to say what you actually mean -- aesthetics can totally cross disciplines like that.
Food is at least as important as art. Art only nourishes your mind, but food nourishes both mind and body.
