40 Times People Would’ve Rather Got Plates And Glasses Instead Of These Disasters (New Pics)
Dear bars and restaurants, we do genuinely appreciate how hard you try to impress us. After the pandemic hit, it has been a continuous struggle to save your business and attract both workers and clients. So it's only normal to put that extra bit of effort into everything, from the thoughtful playlist to premium Marseille soap in the bathroom.
Some restaurant owners and chefs take the dining experience up to the next level and come up with very ingenious ways to serve their food. Think of starters served straight on the table, croquettes served in an iron mask and no, I am not kidding.
Thanks to the internet's beloved We Want Plates project founded by Ross McGinnes back in 2015, we now have a crazy collection of absurd food servings to scroll through. “It’s the global crusade against serving food on bits of wood and roof slates, chips in mugs and drinks in jam jars,” says its description and hey, thanks for the public service, you guys.
Psst! More hilarious food servings from We Want Plates can be found in our previous posts here, here and here.

Previously Bored Panda spoke with Ross McGinnes, the founder of the ‘We Want Plates’ community. Ross started the campaign in 2015 after a friend posted a picture of an average-sized steak on Facebook, which had been served to him on a large chopping board.
“It was captioned, unironically, 'That is a big meal!' It wasn't a big meal—he'd fallen for all this style-over-content hipster gastropub nonsense,” he recounted. Then, Ross searched Twitter for an account which would allow him to vent his spleen with like-minded people, but he found nothing. That’s how We Want Plates was created. Today, the project has 900,000 followers across Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and Reddit.

McGinnes also noted that some restaurants put food on strange things because they want to try to impress their customers. Sometimes, that turns against them. “My local pub used to do a great Sunday roast: twelve quid, piled high, tasted great and yes, it came on a plate. One weekend they added a quirky offering to the menu: little sandwiches, pies, dainty cakes and mini milkshakes served on a miniature picnic bench. The benches, painted bright pink and yellow, sat on top of tables seating actual grown adults. And what was the first thing these infantilized diners did? It wasn't to try the food—it was to whip out their phones and take a picture.”
So I Went To Alinea This Weekend
That's just pretentious. Am I supposed to lean over the table and risk getting my arms all dirty just for more blueberries lol.
Just imagine someone with wide or puffed sleeves. Yeah, no thank you.

I’m a non-American who can’t afford to buy even a tiny apartment and even I know that Alinea is a super-expensive status symbol restaurant. So anyone who can afford to go there automatically loses my sympathy when they complain about it.
I'm American and I've never heard of this place ever.

Just admit it. The waiter slipped, and dumped everything on the table :D
This is what Alinea is known for so why complain about it if you still willingly went?
If a restaurant resorts to the tactics of Lady Gaga/Bjork/Marylin Manson to make a name for themselves, then they are entertainers more than they are chefs.
You have to PAY in advance?? Seriously? Wow, that's arrogance (by the restaurant)!

Why even pay for this, let alone a decadent amount. Just babysit a couple of two year olds and you get paid to clean up this sort of mess!
I do not wish to mingle my spoon with someone else's saliva-covered spoon in all those sauces, please and no thank you.
WTF? Are you serving a meal or slopping the hogs? If I walked into a restaurant and saw that, I would spin on a dime and walk right out. They better f*****g well wash their tablecloths in scalding hot water and disinfectant soap. F**k!
well it looks nice and it's fun while they set it up. But imma bend over and lick the table and elbow my friends and get my shirt all dirty.
What happens when they’re done this dish and want to order something else? Does each dish get served on its own table? Do they have like a whole dishwasher for tables in the kitchen? Does this get plated in front of the guests or do the servers bring out the table like this? I have so many questions lmao
OK, so the tradition in northern Italy is to serve Polenta (cornmeal) directly on the table so every MEMBER OF THE FAMILY (not guests in a restaurant) eat it right off it. This is something born of poverty and the fact that Polenta on wood gets less soggy. These things in the photo can be served on plates without ruining the experience. Also, that's paper. What kind I don't know, but I am not eating semi-liquid stuff off paper.
This only makes sense to me if the slogan of the place is "Taste disgust"
I would never return to any of these places, just quickly put them out of business!
How the f**k are you supposed to even eat that?? Lick the freaking table??
And you expect me to pay for what the chef/waitress/waiter dropped??
Alina is one of my bucket list places to go. Yes the food (15+ courses in a top notch restaurant) but the experience too.
There's a fascinating episode of "Chef's Tabke" about this restaurant and Grant Achatz, its master chef. He had cancer of the tongue and had to come up with a dining experience that doesn't solely rely on taste. So in that context this makes sort of sense.
What in the fresh hell......I'd totally eat most of it too as my husband eats so slow
Idiotic pretension and paying exorbitant prices makes some people feel special.

Guy on left: Nope. Not even gonna try. At least there's paper underneath, not directly on the table. It better be very tasty if I have to leave so much behind.
Only if they are all licking the same thing. Still gross though

I understand it just fine. Really. I've eaten in many very fine restaurants. For me, the experience is beautiful surroundings, an attentive waitstaff, a luxurious menu and a really good cellar. Having to watch while servers smear stuff all over a rubber sheet doesn't really entertain me, aside from giving me something to tell my friends to avoid. It also scores about a 200 on the pretentious meter. This is really a conceit... assuming that diners would want to spend an hour watching staff smear stuff around while getting a long, and no doubt equally pretentious explanation of what they are doing, and how the stuff that looks like vomit is concocted from only the finest richguy berries gathered in a tiny spot in the mountains above Rio de Janeiro. A large part of fine dining is presentation; this looks like a horrible accident, and not appetizing in the slightest. Most of the food on that table, delicious though it may be, is not actually edible, which is sinful waste.

“Over the following months the picnic benches became increasingly popular, coinciding with the specials board becoming progressively smaller, before it eventually disappeared altogether,” Ross told us. He remembered sitting there one Sunday, watching bench after garish bench emerge from the kitchen like a technicolor carnival of idiocy, before his usual roast arrived.

“The meat was cold and the potatoes were burnt. It was once their main Sunday trade, but the traditional roast had died an unpalatable death. But that’s OK because they were doing a roaring trade with the benches, right? Sure, until the pub down the road started doing them too. Then the one around the corner.”
Ross recounted that before you know it, everyone’s doing the same ‘quirky’ thing. “Except it’s not ‘quirky’ anymore because you can’t move for mini picnic benches and now all their roast dinners are rubbish to boot,” he told us.

I've almost never seen well-executed "quirky" serving ideas. If you want to stand out, let the quality of your cuisine speak for itself.
Exactly. The king of quirky cuisine is Heston Blumenthal - he does things like make apple purée in the shape of a pork chop and makes the pork chop look like potato wedges or whatever, and other random taste combinations and "feasts for the eyes", but from what I've seen on the internet, his restaurant serves quirky food on actual *plates*. There are some things served on breadboards, but they appear to have been specifically designed for this use and able to be properly cleaned after, and not some random driftwood. (He did do some weird serving stuff for his TV programs, but that was kinda the point - they were usually experiments and definitely one-offs as part of the wider experience)

As what l’m now guessing is a “boomer” cook (50, don’t do it professionally anymore) every single one of these irritated me immensely, and honestly I quit around #12. I made very good food, presented quite well, served on nice plates. Plates are about the best thing ever for food to be put on, imho.
As a boomer, I say you are too young to be a boomer. We are in our 70s. Baby boom after WWII, 1945-1950.

I would send every one of these back & leave the restaurant. This is stupid.
Two comments: One - if you pay for the meal after you have finished eating, I would send it back (before eating) and ask for a proper portion, properly served; two - why do people go to these places? It is pure pretentiousness.
Most of these are so unhygienic that if I was served them I would leave the restaurant and I wouldn't pay. Most of those "plates" can't be cleaned properly and would be hiding bacteria, fungus/mold and uneaten food from previous uses. The rusty bucket, the nest, the untreated wood, the barbies, the f***ing tire!! All are extremely unsanitary and would be enough for me nope right out of there!
Come on Bored Panda, please remove the picture of the caviar. That is the classic way to have it.
Urm...no thanks. I don't play with my food, and I don't want the restaurant to play with it either.
Aside from the ridiculous, my biggest concern is the hygiene in the accessories they use.
UGH. Hipsters should NOT be allowed to keep opening pretentious restaurants. You're not an iconoclast, you're a moron.
I have this new innovative idea ... let's just make round pieces of ceramic, like, kinda flat, but the outside, kinda bowed up, so that eventually expectable liquids won't spill over ... but, the center part has to be really flat, and make up around 80 % of the diameter or so ... and, you know, for differently sized portionage, differently sized eating flat pieces may be made ... and the upbowed outside, for soups and such, my be upbowed a little more, so that you can, like, fill these ... and then, let's sell them! Although they do not serve any other purpose than being eaten from, I have a feeling that founding a startup to promote and make these might be a bigtime winning operation, hahaha, although it sounds so scary and weird and frightening even, this will totally work out! I even already have a name for these things: Eat bottoms. Or potato coasters. Or ... whatever we name this fanciest of the fancy fancieties, they'll, like, practically sell themselves with any name.

I can hear my father say "Waiter, I think you've made a mistake. I wanted food, you served me your cooks nervous breakdown. If you can't serve me food on a plate like it's been the custom in civilisation for centuries, I well politely decline, step out and find a real restaurant."
I'd be calling the health department on most of these. You can't serve food to the public on "plates" that aren't made from food safe materials, or "plates" that can't be sanitized between uses. Don't even get me started on the rusty, peeling paint vessels.
If someone put this crap in front of me, I would get up and walk away. So many of these are completely unhygienic.
I'm very glad the only two restaurants I can eat in (severe allergies, so don't go out to eat much) serve everything normally, on clean plates and bowls, with flatware, cups, etc. Nothing weird or "quirky."
I love to cook, love to go out to eat. But I'm just old...I want a clean plate that looks like a plate.
We need more of these for influencers! Me? I wouldn't go inside a place like that, or I would it send back to the kitchen to serve properly. Disgusting. Yuk!
This is honestly upsetting. Who would ever go back to a place like this? First of all, I wouldn't just accept it. I'd say I wasn't going to eat it, make them take it back, then I'd go to a real restaurant. I'd go out of my way to find every place I could to give them one star review. They only stay open if there are people who actually accept this nonsense. That there are such people is what is upsetting.
I actually think most of these were really awesome! But even I have to admit some were extremely unpractical and a few even a little disgusting. I happen to like getting weird plates and glasses. It makes the food more memorable. As for eating caviar off your hand: that’s very common! We learned that here too (in the Netherlands)
I really don't understand this modern day pretentious presentation bull s**t! Id rather have my food served on a polystyrene plate rather than any of these dumb ideas!
There's a tv show over here the the UK called 'Great British Menu' and every year they have a theme for the banquet, in the past it's been to celebrate the NHS, The Women's Institute and the celebrate Children's Literature, and the chefs competing have to come up with a menu fitting the brief so they'll often use props to serve the food. They do tie in with whatever the theme of the banquet is, but as it's for a banquet, it's not so bad.
I love that show! As for weird servingware, I reckon Michael O'Hare had the cookiest when he was a contestant.
