/ck/ - Food & Cooking

I thought all Italians just ate off the table with their hands. Did it taste good?

>madison, wi

Well, you made the right choice of a destination if your only reason for visiting America was to confirm your stereotypes about 'murrican cuisine and shitposting about it on /ck/.

>>9307616
>implying American food has taste

>>9307579
Lol, that's actually pretty dope. You know you wish you were the person who owns that restaurant.

>>9307579
> tfw this motherfucker's face

I'm well aware that businesses will go to extreme lengths for publicity but there is something just plain retarded about serving food directly off the tablecloth instead of a plate for literally no reason.

>>9307684
>mfw I'm forced to visit a flyover state

>>9307579
Shitposts aside, I'm curious where this is done.
>patrons not obese
>everyone drinking red wine
This is clearly not USA.

>>9307719
Silly anon it's all about the experience like how you experience intense disgust and existential dread over the fact that someone would ask money for doing this to you and your friends, it's a educational.

Why do Americans do this?

>>9307958

>muh heritage

I prefer my pasta served in a sandal, and it must be deconstructed, cost 40 dollars per serving and have a required tip of at least 40% for the college kid serving the dish to pad his patrion.

Americans. Stop. Doing. This.

>>9307958
Crab boils are awesome, but that's the lowest common denominator way to go about it (also awesome if you happen to be in the middle of nowhere or a huge outdoor event and do not give a fuck). A restaurant doing it like that is like the BBQ places that spend a lot on atmosphere while keeping mason jars as glassware to make it seem more authentic. It comes off as campy.

>>9307579
I don't understand why anyone would want to eat like this.. are you supposed to drag a portion to the edge and eat it or are you supposed to try and balance a fork full of pasta and sauce from the middle.

>>9307958
I can accept this, shellfish is messy to eat regardless and you aren't going to be sticking your saliva covered fork into shared food.

Because the USA is degenerate

>>9308051
You're supposed to grab a handful of spaghetti and shove it in your fat face

>>9308059
how do i eat it if my face isn't fat?

>>9308068
You don't, the American next to you eats you instead.

>>9307958
>no shared trough for the butter
They fucked up.

>>9307958
Putting a tray under it would have been bad because ?

>>9307976
can that shit even be considered sanitary?

>>9307976
I can see a pate there. Absolutely unacceptable.

>>9307579
Whiny bitches

Not much else to say /i see plates feel free to use them kek

>>9307579
>be American
>visit Italy
>nobody works
>the women are hairy
>the guys all hate fags but still blow each other on weekends
>everyone smells bad
>streets all look like this
Mamma mia Italy?

>silly ass "plating" stunts are America's fault

That's some sissy pansy-ass euroshit and you know it. I can smell the French talent for pretentiousness wafting off of it, sort of a garlicky skunky smell.

>>9307579
Hahahahah
The face of the guy in the blue shirt in the last picture is hilarious! You can see he is all like "WTF, are you kidding me?!?" inside.

>>9308150
>this is what flyovers ACTUALLY believe
The idea that quantity = quality is a distinctly American notion. In particular, it is the #1 iron law of food within the culture void between the Diablo Range and the Hudson River. All other notions of enjoyment are derived from the quantity principle

>restaurant uses gimmick I disagree with
>should I not go to the restaurant and move on
>or should I pretend I went to this restaurant and use them to farm (You)s, giving them some of the publicity and notoriety they crave
Hmmmmmmm...

>>9308280
>I've never actually left the NY/NJ area besides going to DC a couple of times but I feel completely entitled to judge it based on some leftist bubble-world horseshit I read in The Atlantic and/or Vox about how Dem Murricans are lolfat

Okay honey, I know your tampon is just dripping with the blood of white men's severed penises but we were having a conversation about plating. No matter how much food there is I think we can agree it should, at the very least, be on an actual plate? But you're right in one way, I was mocking the impracticality of excessively artistic plating in that it's something only a leftist queer with 37 genders would bother with.

Do you, like, eat? Do you get your 2,000 calories a day from photosynthesis or something? Here, you can eat one of your plant friends, this dish is probably called Twigs with Flowers and Unidentifiable Debris.

>>9308356
I lived in the midwest for 6 years, but thank you for your delicious butthurt. It's the main reason why I love shitting on flyover food '''''culture'''''

>>9308280
>responding to a post about spectacle plating
>NUH UH! AMERICANS EAT TOO MUCH!

>>9308280
This is false.

>european hipster restaurants
>innovative combinations, local food, michelin stars

>american hipster restaurants
>"it's a pile of food but instead of plates, it's slapped on the middle of the table!"

>>9308401

>>9308119
Yeah, I don't know what it is, but Europeans have no sense of personal hygiene. Everybody fucking reeks.

Did the fugg?

>>9308508
Not even true.
Everyone in my country at least showers once every day or every other day. They always put on deodorant.
Your people literally shits themselves while shopping and don't even notice.

>>9308360
>that image
Why do people still flock to AnCap when shit like this proves the 'free market' is a myth?

>>9308517
>showering every other day
>bragging about this
LMAO

>>9308525
Well it's not as hot in your shit country as it is in the north

>>9308517
I'll believe that when I see it.

>>9308529
Heat doesn't mater. You're still dirty after 24 hours of no shower, let alone 48, thanks to skin shedding and your metabolism alone.

>>9308536
It didn't use to matter until global warming :')

>>9308561
keep your dirty ass out of my country

>>9308671
Don't worry, I'd never dream of going the land of the filth

>>9308280
this is unironically true. midwest people complain about portion size everywhere they go that isn't a denny's

>>9307958
>>9308094
also most of the point being after everything's eaten you can just fold up and throw away the table liner, no mess, no sorting through shells and plates and corn cobbs, Again, this is usually a summertime dinner gathering type deal.

>>9308675
Fat fucks in general are like that, it's not just a midwest thing.

>>9307579
>sauce and pasta separate

Italian-American food is an abomination

>>9307579
>grown men and women wearing bibs because they can't eat
HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAH AMERICAAAAAAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHA

>>9308524
All auto manufacturers and banks paid back their bailouts with interest. It was unironically a good policy decision.

>>9308517
Shower at night only wash my hair every other day master race

>>9307579
Why do Americans keep serving food on the table? Are they no longer white enough to use plates?

>>9308401
Italy doesn't have ice.

>>9307579
I want to put my sauce in her spaghetti

>>9308771
>I'm a retard
Yes, yes you are. If you keep pretending that ragu and bolognese are never separate, maybe one day it will come true.

>>9308401

What fucking hipster restaurants have michelin stars

>>9307579

That is some get up from the table and leave tier shit right there.

>>9308921
more for me, loser

>>9308923

While they're at it, why done they just drop it all on the floor so you can feed in the way you're accustomed to?

is this normal?

>>9307579
why do americans always put sauce on top of pasta instead of mixing them together in a pan like you should do?

>>9307579
they are all wearing bibs which leaves me to believe this is one of those baby role play fetish things

pasketti make baby messy!!

>>9308360

I'm actually from California, I have eaten your overpriced michelin star crap in San Fagsisco plenty of times and I want you to admit to yourself that it's conspicuous consumption. It's a place to be SEEN in, something to be SEEN doing - that much is clear.

Oh and I drive a T-Bird when I'm not in my work truck. You city boys keep being terrified of bees so I can buy more redneck toys while you get eyeballed by the backstabbers at your office job. Dear Hipster Santa, I have been a good redneck this year so please bring me a boat.

>>9308390

Yep. Jealousy again, we don't eat too much, we just have more food than everyone else.

>>9308401

Indeed, Europhiles are the worst.

>>9308675

I have never seen anyone complain about portion size being too small but hear complaints about it being too big almost every time I go out to eat. It's definitely a marketing thing, nobody really eats like this at home unless they're a hamplanet. I guess you could gripe that Americans waste the most food because it's almost certainly true.

>>9308517

Ah I see what's wrong now, you guys think it's socially acceptable to go inside of a Walmart. It's not and besides most of the shitblobs in there are leftists/niggers on food stamps. If you see a sign on a store that says "WE ACCEPT EBT" just turn around, leave the creepy leftist-run ghetto where they don't punish non-whites for crimes that you're standing in and go back to a safe neighborhood.

Madison has a huge variety of amazing restaurants, multiple city-wide culinary events, food truck festivals, cheese tastings out the ass, and more beer everywhere than I've seen anywhere besides MAYBE Brussels.

>>9307958
except this is based

>>9309362
you sound absolutely insufferable

>>9309362
you're like that hillbilly from Utica who has a hissy fit at anyone who says "new york" and means the city (in other words, everyone)

>>9307579

Amerifats have to wear bibs when eating.
