/ck/ - Food & Cooking

It's just a stupid gimmick to appeal to people who are more interested in Instagramming their food than eating it.

I don't feel like digging a mini-burger out of a brandy snifter.

I really like how it's a glass that closes up at the top. A big martini glass would be a lot more reasonable

>trend
Apparently something 5-10 years old is on the rise now.
At least use a more recent picture.

>>10132478
That image isn't even that old, you faggot

>>10132458
these are great
and yeah it's all for instagram i'm pretty sure

>>10132478
I mean I got served food on a stone back in 05 but that's not nearly as weird as what passes now

>>10132458
Don't really give two shits as long as the food is good.

I mean it made me smile at least. I sort of think that’s the point, food isn’t normally art. So when a chef gets total freedom sometimes they just like to make jokes and have fun. And let’s face it, Instagram and stupid shit like this is good for business.

This is from Jose Andres' restaurant Jaleo. If it's good enough for him I guess

looks soggy

Gives me vibes of those big ass novelty margarita glasses that held like half a swimming pool.

I don't mind the whole trend as long as it is more things like >>10132534 and less like >>10132458. Burgers in a snifter seems like they would be a hassle to get out and actually eat.

Posts cherry-picked pictures from a Google search for “dumb food plating” or similar search terms

Calm down. Breathe

>>10133067
I guess I am.
That looks like that fucked up way of leaving the tip in a glass of water upturned on the table. In short trying way too damn hard.

For some reason I like this, >>10133073 probably for the sheer absurdity of it. Also it does not impair your ability to actually eat the food.

I went to a restaurant in Chattanooga, TN who's idea of fancy plating a shrimp dish was to turn wine classes upside down and hang the shrimp off the edge of the base in a circle. Eating off the bottom of a drinking glass didn't appeal to me.

This one made me laugh

>>10132534
that totally seems like a gag. I'm like 95% sure the shtick is that it's trash food plated all "postmodern"

When will this meme go full circle and go back to putting food on a normal plate?
Will hipsters implode?

ive never heard of this before. must be something you mystery meat mutt millenials trapped in the big cities with niggers and muslims do at your restaurants.

Indifference.

>I want to play a game

>>10134400
at least the japanese toilet restaurant commits to their theme and the plating isn't physically difficult to use

Looks like somebody DID, bro. Now all you need is guys in uniforms screaming

>"JUDEN!!! JUDEN!!!"

And barking German Shepards on leashes as you try to eat it.
