  1. Plate sounds delicious. Cannot help but think that the elements are somewhat disconnect.

    Maybe my solution is a bit boring, but I think I would have plated the sauce in the middle, ravioli on top, and then set the pearls on top of it. Cutting the octopus in little chunks and speading it around the plate. Then sprinkle the red oil over the whole thing.

    Just my two cents.

    I like it, generally. I don’t know that you need to swirl the chili oil, but I get it.

    Only gripe is a lack of garnish for the ravioli. I think it just needs an element or two.

    Sounds awesome but I agree with the other person that it seems a bit disconnected. It looks like a very nicely plated octopus, and then also a ravioli and seaweed pearls added after. Maybe the pearls could follow the shape of the octopus somehow?

  4. All sounds amazing and elements look really clean, can’t help but feel the puffed ravioli looks a little clumsy for this style of plating though

  5. That is one freaking beautiful plate honey! Not sure how I feel about octopus, but that’s just a personal thing. Excellent artistic creativity!

    Maybe curl the octopus arm around the puck of pearls and then combine the sauce with the ravioli so it comes together more? I do like the original as well. Looks great!

    I’ve wanted to try grilled octopus for about 7 years. This makes me want it right now. Kudos

  8. I like your dish but the bare ravioli is killing the overall aesthetic, I would suggest garnishing the ravioli with its own complementary flavours.

    I don’t like this plate.

    -Messy/halfassed sauce work (that’s an ugly “swirl”) E: ALTHOUGH, I do like the arm itself and the way it curls around the sauce, it’s a pretty piece and looks perfectly cooked

    -Elements are too disparate visually (and flavor wise imo)

    -Solo seaweed pearls why? Am I just supposed to spoon them up alone? Same with the ravioli-cracker thing. There’s zero interplay, and that makes for a boring composition.

    -This is not elegant, nothing looks intentional here. It looks like you had one plate left with three taste courses to go.

    Good photo though!! Sincere. Food lighting is hard but you nailed it here.

  10. Not gonna lie this looks good but you’d probably get charged like $200 for this at a fancy restaurant that has 2.5 star rate and bad reviews on yelp

    The octopus looks fantastic. I thought the side was caviar and wasn’t sure what the square was. Looked like a “crouton”. Wish I could try this dish it looks very interesting and I’m sure it was excellent.

  12. So you gotta pay $100 for that and afterwords your still just as hungry as before you came in.

  13. It is so damn near perfect. I really really love this dish.

    Maybe I wish there was a little something on top of the ravioli? A piece of herb or a small pickled vegetable or something? But I’m honestly just looking for something to critique.

    Really great work Chef
