  1. This is just perfect. Order in chaos. Lines with imperfect. I probably would do even a little less stuff but man is it gorgeous.

  2. I have very mixed feelings regarding modern/fine dining plating techniques, so I have a morbid fascination with this sub that pulls me in a lot of directions emotionally. This just looks amazing. That said, have you ever tried using Saba in place of balsamic reduction?

  3. Despite me finding out that the dark drops are the balsamic and bull’s blood is actually a vegetable, I really love this plating and I still think it’s absolutely beautiful!

  4. Beautiful, I love the octopus tentacle vibe you created with the sauce and vinegar. The picture is a bit oversaturated and over-sharpened (visible on the bottom right tomato and the dill).

    One of the nicest plates I’ve seen on here. That said, that one loose speck that got away from the ash is kinda bugging me lol

    Nice fucking plate

    How many of these need need to hit the dining room at once? Getting that sweep of the gastrique just-right across several plates must be a PITA. I miss fine dining … well, sometimes.

  7. love the composition and color palette. i’m super not into tomatoes but i would order this just for the instagram photos lol

    The gastric craze is cool to try but it always misses the mark for me. The only thing the DOES stick the landing are the pics. Cool to do tho.

  9. This is one of the nicest platings I’ve seen on here. It would be tough to pull off on anything short of a Michelin line, but it’s a stunning salad course. If I still ran a kitchen I’d be poaching you for sure.

  10. Me: “oh that’s a beautiful plate”

    Me: *reads ingredients*

    Me: “Bulls Blood? That’s gotta be a typo…”

    Me: *goes to comments and discovers no typo occurred.*

    Me: “Wow this salad is METAL!” *Devil horn fingers*

    I think this truly is art. Absolutely beautiful!

    *IF* you are looking for constructive criticism; the last/bottom balsamic drops could be smaller or more varied in size. I don’t think it’s ruining the plate at all, just a very minor suggestion.

    Beautiful dish. Absolutely gorgeous, and great job. My only gripe is that onion ash might as well be cigarette ash. Once you combust an organic material and it becomes ash, all the volatile compounds that give it its unique and desirable flavors/aromas get burnt away, and all you’re left with is… ash. Mostly carbon, with some phosphorus, potassium, etc. Your grandma’s ashes would taste the same.

  13. Beautiful!!
    Saw a preview from a Reddit reccommendation and this completely caught my attention! Good job!

    Looks awesome.

    Ironically I just made some freezer burritos and decided to paint the plate with salsa and use the crispy burnt-ish cheese remnants as a garnish over the sour cream globs and cumin / seasoning sprinkle.

    They ask us how we eat at home?

    Like Gods.
