this is a thread about Plating

an oft overlooked element that can heighten the visual appeal and price point of your meal

parsely

in

out

then so out it's in

I plate like Jackson Pollack

i feel like Plating this the one exercise where the rules about food hygiene suddenly vanish

chefs are not supposed to manhandle the food about to go in the customers' mouths, i think

but when it comes to Plating

then it's game on to just start artistically sprinkling everything onto the plate, and using your pinky finger to make sure the thing you are placing with the spoon lands just right, and fuck it maybe we just grab a couple of chunks of black sea bass and line them up with a spritzy hand affect as if we are Salvador Dalí blessing their plate with artistry

thus, they can touch the food with their hands, that will soon go into my mouth

splotches
drizzles
it don't care
sprags
sprigs
springs
not spit

It all ends up jumbled in your stomach anyway, so who cares what it looks like

As a Bob's Burgers fan, you would have found it funny. But I can see that someone that didn't know the context would find it offensive. I am a monster.

That's actually the correct pronunciation

It was about serving napkins that have already been used

The idea to place a sprig of parsley on a dish is attributed to Joseph Garnish.
