As a cook, it is a huge deal in my restaurant. Iv literally had the head chef yell at me(like, raised angry voice) because i plated something with the entrée resting on the slope of the plate(pic related, in that red area).
Apparently anything touching that edge is a huge no-no... I nudged it a fraction of an inch towards the centre and rolled my eyes at him, and he almost had a breakdown. Some "chefs" are complete assholes.

linecuck signing in, mains could be made 10% quicker and cheaper if we disregarding plating and aesthetics, desserts more so like 25%
having to grate chocolate over the top or do a swizzle of sauce onto the plate before putting the feature of the dish over the top adds next to nothing to the flavour, but i enjoy it anyway
why? humans are basic bitches who eat with their eyes just as much as their mouths, and at the end of the day my primary aim(after getting paid) is to let people enjoy their meal, so its needed for the real life (you)'s
funnily, at home people are way less picky when it comes to aesthetics of the meal, i guess making it themselves and knowing the ingredients is a contrast to restaurant environments where the the quality of the food itself is unknown and largely influenced by how it looks

>And i dont believe for a second you work in a kitchen
god forbid someone on this mcchicken discussion imageboard works in one of the more common professions in the world. and just because all you eat is fast food doesnt mean that you need to project that on to the job market.

In the industry. Ive seen it equally man. My exec right now is a woman. Fucking rules with an iron fist. I wouldnt mind it if she did things rationally but shes just powerdrunk and fucks us over all the time. God i hate her.

Tbh, if it we're my restraunt. I would submerge it in stabilizing resin. Then cover it in a food safe resin. Make the think solid as a rock, preserve it. And make it dishwasher safe.

Im in the same fucking industry. My FOH manager litterally trys to suggest this shit all the time. He makes wooden cutting boards out of discarded gun stocks. Which is pretty cool, but its so impractical man. Especially serving shit in fry baskets. Just think of the god damn dishwasher for half a second. The last place i worked at started serving desert on a wrought iron 3 teir'd plate holder. I know its not insane or anything but it was so fucking stupid. They rusted like crazy. Weighted 13 pounds and took up so much space in an already cramped kitchen. Shit was gay

Chefs eat ramen, scambled eggs and cigarettes. No chef on earth unless they sold their soul to the food network makes quality meals at home unless its their day off. Kitchen staff in general eat like garbage while serving top quality food. The only thing ive eaten today was half a portobello over the trashcan like a fucking rodent.

Well no, you said the show is dedicated to it, and that was a show about failing restaurants, hardly the same. And you said you provided proof, to which your first statement was a trent to serving burgers by HIV fags, but what you showed was Gordon eating at a crappy restaurant with a dumb dish, again hardly the same. So again you literally have done nothing except be a little faggot that's complaining about god knows what. So how about you just log off your computer buddy, you're not mature enough to handle simple conversation.

I'm not trying to convince you of anything at this point. You're too stupid. I'm confident any third party reading this, including the other people who work in the industry and haven't mentioned their own trials with this bs, will acknowledge it is a trend... Because they've seen the proof posted here.
You can continue to think teal coloured plates is as "wild* as it gets. And maybe that is as crazy as it gets in some Boise Idaho low market franchise restaurant that you work at. Everyone else here, including those who watched tv or browsed the internet knows otherwise.
Btw, I'm legit convinced you're autistic, to the fact that you take something mentioned in jest like serving stuff on needles, to be sincere. For most people, the idea of having people with HIV work with their food is ridiculous, and an absurd thing would be taking that one level further. That's lost on you tho, cause of your blatant autism. You literally can't make sense of that type of humor because your brain isn't functioning properly.
