I work as a chef and this looks tiring to eat, having to move around the plate for each morsel of sauce. There is a time and a place for squeeze bottles of puree and tweezers but this is not it.

When something is plated like this, are you expected to “clean” the plate? Or is all of the stuff on the rim mainly for decoration?

It depends on the chef but most of the time it's meant to be eaten. That's why i said this is exhaling to eat having to work around the dish

Totally agreed. This looks like a chore. Truly believe it shouldn't be on the plate if you're not supposed to eat it; if this is all meant to go together, maybe move it a little closer. I am all for beauty in food, but this really feels like someone who's trying too hard to be cool.

I don't understand how you could possibly try all those sauces with what looks like 1 bite of fish

Well let me comment about that. The cod is approximately one bite of fish. The rest can be scooped up in a spoonful. I bet this dish was at least 25$ for a single bit of food.

As a chef I think everything on the plate should be edible but also tasty. Fck most flowers and microherbs.

Ohhhhhhhhhh that's what I'm looking at? I literally thought the plate was some kind of...messed of pie smoothie thing with chunks of things sticking out and was trying to figure out how any of the title was part of it

Couldn’t agree more. When the aesthetics of the plate seem to be more of a focus than the actual food it’s a turnoff. Don’t make me work so hard to enjoy my meal.

Not even just that, but there is so much sauce for such a sorry portion of black cod. Utterly careless dish from the chef.
