That totally depends on where you are right now and your currency. The A5 beef for instance is expensive for brazillian standards, but you can pay less than 50 trumps in a round with a lot (and I mean a LOT) of it.
Is the issue that Azami is evil or his actual plans?
Toriko is better than Souma but I won't declare Toriko as a cooking manga since that is misleading. The cooking wasn't the main focus of the series. The focus was hunting the ingredients and eating it. Just seeing the characters eat and explain the taste of the ingredients was done better in Toriko since there was buildup to their reaction and most often it was a good pay off. Which is better than that cheap food reaction that Shokugeki provides via dialogue dumps or most of the time, "cheap fan-service". Both are food mangas and out of the two I'd say Toriko was better written.
Looks like I found an anime to watch over the holidays. I've heard good reviews on the series so I'll get to it eventually. Thanks
Monopolizing an entire industry is not implausible, but to do that all based on some crazy complex about his beloved senpai is what really makes me roll my eyes all the way back. The flashback might not be over yet, but I have a hard time believing it'll explain Azami's motivations neatly.

Yeah, I think it's more appropriate to label them as "food mangas" rather than cooking mangas when comparing the two.
I live in California, most of the ingredients are readily available here save real A5 Wagyu and Satsuma Jidori. (Albeit American Prime Beef and California Chicken are good, cheaper alternatives).

Soma would be like Guy Feiri if he were a celebrity chef. Going around and promoting local diner food. Although Rachel Ray had a series about eating under 40 dollars while traveling around the world.
He himself is just a stereotypical "evil" guy, it's meant to be really obvious. The issue is that his plan is the stupidest thing I have ever read in WSJ or possibly any other magazine for that matter, and I've read early Black Clover.

I'm starting to pity Azami now because there are already 4~5 people saying the same thing. hahaha
That is insanely ridiculous. Its been pretty obvious it would turn out like this for a while, and Haikyuu and Yaiba are the only two series they can really pick up. Now they've waited so long on Yaiba it will be a pain for them to catch up, and after 6 months of Haikyuu releases they're still only 1/4 through the series, so that won't be happening anytime soon either.

You really can't judge the series by the first 3 chapters. It's almost like a completely different series, even.
Yea I know , but my early judgment is positive , if I judged every series by its first chapters I dont think that I would've liked Reborn! , Bleach , Toriko and Psyren .
This looks so awesome

Its not even been a year yet and you can already see how much Gotouge has progressed as an artist by comparing it to the first cover. It looks awesome!
