Would you call it elitism if other chefs said another chef's cooking tasted bad when it obviously does?

Taste in food is so super subjective.

You can criticize another chef's cooking because it's not up to whatever standards chefs set, which are likely to be based on trends in how people like to eat their food. But of course, you're presumably doing it in situations where it's merited - if one chef asks another for feedback, they're in a competition, etc. You're presumably not going to go to a popular restaurant that lots of people enjoy, order off the menu, and then bitch to everyone who can hear you that the food is objectively terrible, when you knew going in it's not a cuisine you like. Or if you didn't know you wouldn't like it, you still will presumably not bitch to everyone around you because that's super rude - you'll just choose not to eat there again.

Also, what if you're a really experienced chef and the other chef is not? Are you going to be a jackass about how terrible their food is (to you)?

Basically, some peoples' belief that artistic quality is 100% objective isn't a good excuse to be a huge dick to someone else's art that you don't like. It smacks of a superiority complex. Why do you (general you) need to tear others down based on not preferring a style (that lots of people do like, so any claim that it's ~objectively bad~ sort of falls apart) in order to reassure yourself that your art is good?
