My wife and I make okay money in a middle class area, but, due to a combination of good luck, and contrived to circumstances, we recently got to watch a college football game in the stadium's super executive corporate sponsor level suite. It was awesome. Open bar, amazing catered food, and people networking all around me who are clearly in the c-suite of their respective companies. I had a list of crazy things I was going to say if someone asked me what I did, but it never came up.

I ate dinner in NYC at the penthouse fancy restaurant of some five star hotel. I could barely eat I was so intimidated. The food at that time was for some reason having a trend of "foams", which is this weird thing where it was like lobster with a side of foamy stuff. I never understood how that was food, but the restaurant by itself was incredible.

A foam is just another texture of a sauce as a garnish, and typically not the main sauce. It's not as "why was that even food" as people put on. It's just an easy scapegoat for something different.

Cotton candy is air fluff that melts instantly on your tongue and leaves a bubblegum or artificial cherry taste behind. A foam is a similar thing, just with basil or truffle to compliment a piece of lamb sauced with its jus.

It's just lazy commentary.

It wasn't like a sauce. It was like a foam whipped with bits of lobster. Like lobster flavoured foam, it definitely wasn't an accompaniment. I'm not describing it right, but it wasn't like a side. It's been like twenty years.

Also cuisine is art and at times creating new sensations is an excellent way of expressing that art. Other times not so much.
