Unlike "organic", there's no standard of identity
for "artisan". McDonald's could call their burgers
"artisan" if it wouldn't seem so ridiculous.

how much more do they cost than 'regular'? how much you want to bet
it's the same manufacturing process but a different label so they can
charge more.....

They add tomatoes and other seasonings.

The word "artisan" has been hijacked by advertising and promotions
executives and now can be relied upon to mean absolutely nothing.

Wendy's has gone even further, using the term without actually attaching the
word artisan to anything other than the title of a breakfast sandwich.

"Artisan Egg Sandwich: Start your morning with a freshly cracked Grade A egg
(maybe the cracking of the egg is the artisan part because they have to hire
up to get someone who won't screw it up), melted Asiago cheese, rich
hollandaise sauce, and your choice of thick-cut Applewood Smoked Bacon or
all natural grilled saussate - all on a toasted honey-wheat muffin. $1.99."

RIP "artisan". We hardly knew ye.

Along that same lines, I always thought "Artesian" was underused. It
has a nice ring to it, looks and sounds more sophisticated than
"artisan", and many people don't know for sure what the hell it means.
I could set up shop in Artesian, South Dakota where land and labor is
cheap and imply that all my products are "Artesian" or "Artesinal".
Name it "Artesian Gourmet" or something like that.

Shucks, somebody already beat me to that name. How about "Artisianal
Artisan Gastrique Gourmet"?

Judging from Google results, I suspect that "Artesian Gourmet" is a typo.

Artesian is French, meaning from Artois. It is a type of well. It used
to be the big selling point of Olympia Beer, back before it got bought
out by Hamms. We toured the brewery on our honeymoon. How romantic!
