30 People Who Got Some Of The Most Ridiculous Food Servings In The Restaurant Business (New Pics)
We Want Plates is a community of both regular people and dedicated foodies who are joining their forces to make restaurants serve food on actual plates, not on bits of wood and roof tiles. To do so, they are shaming all the ridiculous food presentations they are receiving online, and their crusade has made them quite famous.
Founded in 2015 by Ross McGinnes, We Want Plates already has 157K followers on Twitter, 100K on Facebook, and 30K on Instagram. However, the biggest unit of their army is located on Reddit — over 650K troops. I think it's safe to say that the growth of the project is a pretty good indication that restaurants should think twice before serving cured meat on a bone or pouring a cocktail into a baby bottle. At least I hope so.

This is the traditional way to drink Sake. Maybe they're going for a fusion thing. It is a silly thing to do for many drinks, but if woodiness is part of the flavour, it's a great option.

This is definitely smarter than most of the others. Using glass bottles that otherwise will be thrown out to landfill. Some companies clean and reshaped glass bottles to be used as plates, drinking glass or coaster (one of them is instagram.com/ffrash_designs > they're now closed tho).
Technically There Is A Plate...
Excuse me sir I don’t have a napkin. It’s right there. Here? Yeah there. You mean the napkin with a piece of food already sitting on it? Yes. Heard.

The "suitcase" is probably filled with ice to keep it at the proper serving temperature, which is why it's in a steam table pan.

If any restaurant owner / chef is here, I have an idea to serve food. Off the floor. Hear me out. There's no need for tables and chairs, people will be sitting on the floor, maybe on a cushion. It's cozy and homey. Then you take the food and throw it on the floor and people will eat it using their hands (the 5 sec rule obviously doesn't apply - you can take your sweet time). So no need for plates and cutlery, which means no need for dishwashing!! For liquids, you just make your hands like a cup and the waiter serves your beverage there. Awesome and progressive, right? Right??
Sarcasm is really underrated! I laughed a lot with your comment!
Load More Replies...My main concern with this pretentious presentations is the hygiene. Pretty sure that certain objects are not as easily washable as normal dishes.
I believe in most cases, they are ALL single-use. Our urban elites pay indulgences to their phony environmentalist gods, but live like disgusting, planet-killing slobs.
