>elk tartare

Isn't that kind of a risk of toxoplasmosis?

>you took the photo
>leave literally one cucumber in focus while the rest of the plate is a sea of blurry pink shit
god damn man

it's called bokeh. I learned about it from /pee/.

if you know wut camera iz gud you'd understand.

I have never gotten pretentious-as-fuck dishes.

Maybe when I make enough money to waste hundreds in a single meal, then I will understand.

>>4720487
i don't think artsy fartsy macro lens shots are a good idea when you're trying to demonstrate food

>>4720489

oh good, here comes the poorfag patrol

OP here, I had like 2 minutes to shoot before the plate went out. I also don't shoot food much. Here's a better photo from the other day...

>>4720484

Not according to the chef...

>>4720493
Maybe one day too, you will learn the meaning of hard work.

>>4720505
again, your choice of focus and framing is really fucking weird, but that's a pretty neato shot

>>4720487
OP here, i chuckled

>implying I don't work hard
>implying it takes more than a lower middle class income to afford a nice meal sometimes

You didn't even like the crockpot.

>>4720523
>implying lower middle class jobs exist

>>4720523
I can get a nice meal for $50 tops and actually be full. That dish looks expensive and meager.

Either way, I'm I don't think I will ever budget to throw away hard earned money unless I can literally throw it away.

It's obviously part of a multi course meal. You'd know this if you ever went anywhere nice.

>>4720528
>>4720533
It was 20 dollars. Not too bad considering the hours and ingredients.

Also, we are a resort, we don't serve multicourse unless by special request.

Looks like cat food.

>>4720533
I have, when being treated by another business we contracted to. It was ridiculously expensive.

>>4720542

Ahhh hurr keep on bein funny /ck/

>>4720545
Just tellin' it like it is.

Doesn't seem very planned out as much as the chef trying to tryhard for pretentiousness.
>delicate, thin arrangement in the middle
>big, bulky cucumber with poke dressing arrangement ontop
Christ, the flow of that dish is ridiculously absurd.

>>4720559

We are line cooks. Chef gave the okay, said net time make the cucumbers smaller. And yes I agree. But damn if Elk ttar tar is not something I thoroughly enjoyed.

it's tartare*, fucking waste of carbon

/p/ here

your photo sucks and rushing is not an excuse

This dish needs more BLUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

>>4720612
Hey /p/ OP here. check my thread on /p/

>>4720477
This looks inviting to try, but gives no indication on what it might taste like.
My two cents anyway...

>>4720477
your bro's poke looks like shit bro...and whats that shit dribbled all over the elk?

also....how do you mix poke and elk? it doesn't sound very natural a combo

>>4720528
Whats your hobby? What do you throw away money on?

>>4720477
So op where do you work what kind of restaurant?

>>4720477

Are those cucumbers hollowed out? If no, then thats a lot of cucumber. Otherwise id eat the shit out of that, I love tartare anything.

What the fuck is that pink shit?
