/ck/ - Food & Cooking

yes anon, putting food on plates is incredibly douchy and pretentious

>>13511131
They're trying to create an art piece and not something edible.
So fuck em, I want something presented simply that is delicious.

>>13511131
Nope. It's just you.

>>13511131
Something visually appetising will enhance the flavour so a little forethought
and effort into the presentation of a dish I do not find douchy. Considering the amount of time researching recipes, sourcing ingredients, prepping ingredients and actual cooking, a few minutes at the end to present something presentable is relatively speaking very little effort, failure todo so I'd say very lazy.

However "food art" like OPs tomato salad is fucking stupid. Wtf is that yellow black shit to the side, vinaigrette? Do I eat it? Why why why. And idgaf how well dressed the snazzy city queer restaurant manager is, I want be paying your exorbitant prices.

Idk, it makes it look more appetizing to me. I know its just looks but it looks like it would taste better than if you had just just shoved tomatoes on a plate.

It can be, but to call all plating douchy and pretentious is silly. Even short order cooks plate their dishes. The only time a dish is not plated is when it is served buffet or family style, and then it is still presented in some way (even if unceremoniously dumped into a hotel pan).

Plating is okay and pretty much part of the food process, but the muh empty space shit is cancer.

>>13511201
this, food comes through your eyes first but OP's image is just over the top pretentious shit

>>13511131
if its just plating on an actual plate not really. i appreciate the extra care they took and its likely that the chef actually gives a fuck

>>13511131

>plating

why u englishspeakers always need to invent weird words on useless concept does it hurt your fat ass to say something like *not a made word* and let us rest our mind

yes OP, there are indeed a few people other than you who lead hateful and angry lives

>>13511131
You are poor or dumb or both and seethe when you se etchings you can’t have or don’t understand. The only reason you consider it pretentious is because it is beyond your reach

>>13511131
its mega cringe, but I actively keep myself away from faggots who do this so it doesn't bother me.

>>13511482
yeah
really what people mean when they say "i hate plating" is "i hate the style of plating common in high cuisine"

there is also a element of cope from people who can afford/wouldn't fit in at places that plate in that style

>>13511828
oh fuck off lmao, anyone with $50 can get into one of these restaurants, its pretentious shit.

>>13511828
>paying an extra $15 for some illegal beaner to smear sauce on your plate

kek

I think that the dipping areas so attractive that instead of having 4 dipping areas for dipping the mousse into, you should have 6. Because, and I find that this happens more often on Thursday nights than any other night of the week, people seem to be running out of dipping areas before they run out of mousse.

oh jeez is it flyover-a-clock already? dont worry, we still love you guys, even if you lack the taste for higher arts. i for example have never one hunted bullfrogs and i am deeply ashamed by that.

>>13511915
nah im from vancouver m8, I am well versed in the art of overpriced shit.

>>13511928
it is up to you to worry about how you spend your money
there will always be markup but lots of people dont seem to mind

>>13511928
It sucks that Vancouver had to pay such high prices when the city has nearly zero culture.

>>13512543
It has culture, chink culture

>>13512854
wow such impress

>>13512854
you can't deny that we've got very good sushi though

>>13512990
>Canadians bragging about what great sushi they have

The memes write themselves

>>13511131
yes so you paid $40 for chef to slop food into your trough

>>13511146
then don't go to places that do this? i don't see the problem here lmao

>>13512995
>t. amerimutt that doesn't eat anything but burgers

>>13512990

>>13513175

>>13513245
>this level of mutt

>>13513259
