What the hell is wrong with a plate? You gotta cut and eat that thing on that tiny plank of wood?

There is a subreddit for that, I can’t remember the name, but it’s dedicated to mocking food plated on things that are not plates.

If I'm paying $100pp for a steak dinner, I'm asking them to put that on a plate.

Plates don't soak in all that juicy bacteria like a wooden dish does

So if that piece of wood was just cut into a circle instead you wouldn't have a problem with it?

Some people are so weird about this. It's not a big deal to literally anyone other than the weirdos on that subreddit.

Here's the problem, from a restaurant perspective. Wood is porous and difficult to clean properly. Thats why wood cutting boards aren't allowed under many health codes. Like many of the items used for "plates" these days you have to ask how was this cleaned after the last guy used it?

Same question: if that odd cupped plank shape was ceramic, and still just barely large enough to hold all of those items, would you have a problem with it? It is literally more expensive and less useful than a plate.

The size is one thing. It's too small. Agreed.

The people who see food on non-ceramic/glass and throw a hissy fit like they've been somehow duped are weird and ill never see eye to eye with them.

Yeah the wood has nothing to do with it for me. It is the shape and size. Even a wooden bowl would be better than this.

Not to mention the bacteria that’s ingrained in that plank
