To me that is part of the beauty of CP. There are enough random experts on any subject that can answer questions. A lot of those people may not go into every sub-forum.
I have been on sites that have a lot of subforums, and it's a bit of a pain to find different conversations. If something isn't the top thread often I won't even go in and might miss something.

Not sure what point we're debating here, as I agree with this totally. I hate subforums, and should be used for very specific things, if at all. I think Food and Entertainment should be in the main OT forum, as well.
My gripe is with the sticky'd thread. Its a half-measure that doesn't really solve a problem well, and makes the UI experience worse for all, while really only helping in very specific cases. The search function works well, you just need to know how to use the forum search function or google properly. (OT only search for example).
I'd say leave it as it was, or make a sub-forum, not some messy bandaid solution in between.
