“I Wish I Was Joking”: 50 Times People Were So Stunned By Food Presentation They Had To Take A Pic (New Pics)
Having a nice meal at a fancy restaurant every once in a while is good for your soul. It’s a great way to raise your spirits and remember how awesome life is. The issue with some of the nicer places (aside from the pretentiously small portions) is that some of them serve your food on mind-boggling random items. A lobster on a telephone? Check. Hummus on a canvas? Check!
The epic ‘We Want Plates’ online community gently pokes fun at this trend by showcasing some of the most egregious examples of avoiding normal plates and glasses. We hope you’ve got room for some humor because we’re featuring some of the biggest recent crimes against normality. Scroll down for pics that show you just how bonkers some restaurateurs have become.

Robert Beveridge 4 months ago
Filet of sole, my arch enemy. You'd truly have to be a heel to do this. I hope it's not laced with anything.
Food can and should be aesthetic. However, you should never sacrifice nutrition, taste, texture, and smell for the sake of superficiality. To put it bluntly, if your food looks Instagram-worthy but tastes like drek, you’ll end up pushing your customers away and burning your reputation.
Some restaurant owners are so desperate to stand out from the crowd and to appear unique that they sacrifice good taste for randomness. Not all of their experiments with design and ‘artistic’ plating work, though. Some are so bizarre that they can (and arguably should!) be called out by customers everywhere.

Our Hummus Was Delivered On… An Art Canvas?
We ordered a hummus plate at a very normal hotel bar in the Midwest. This was brought out without context?
The ‘We Want Plates’ online group is one of the most well-known projects on social media and Reddit. Created in mid-July of 2015, over the past decade, the community has grown to become home for a million folks who are fighting “against serving food on bits of wood and roof tiles, chips in mugs and drinks in jam jars.”
The goal of the group is to “showcase cringe-worthy examples of plating.” However, you have to go above and beyond things like burgers on boards, sushi on sushi boats, or traditional types of plating from other cultures.

You have to remember that even though these restaurants are being gently mocked and literally named and shamed, it’s all done for the sake of humor. You have to be civil. There’s absolutely no room for insults or threats on the subreddit.
Posting original content is encouraged. In which case, be sure to share the details of what the establishment is called and where it’s located. Meanwhile, if you’re sharing photos of dishes that you didn’t personally try when eating out, remember to credit the person or organization who originally shared it online.

Thai Basil Chicken Here Always Served With Random Household Wares

Edda Kamphues 4 months ago
Since when are a birdcage, half a jerry can and an umbrella household items? It's still pretty awful.
From McGiness’ perspective, restaurants place food on random things because they’re trying to seem unique, to stand out from the crowd of competitors.
“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,” he said.

“I sat there one Sunday, watching bench after garish bench emerge from the kitchen like a technicolor carnival of idiocy, before my 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,” the creator of ‘We Want Plates’ revealed how the trend quickly went viral.
