    I like this concept A LOT!! I think the use of bone is super sexy, but you got to get that thing pearl white dude. wash it, boil it, leave it in the sun, maybe slightly bleach it/hydrogen peroxide it( though it does affect structural integrity a little bit). it’ll make the dish look so good you won’t need Instagram filters.

    I’d be jacked if I got this as a tasting course. It’s a dominating and masculine dish, but I think adding a little refinement will enhance it’s appeal.

    edit: I need to acknowledge the big mac vibes and how playful it is too. It was not lost on me, just got caught up on the esthetic vibe this dish throws out. Any dish that makes someone think this hard is 99/100 times, pure fire. nice work.

  2. That’s beautiful plating. Very original idea. Don’t agree that the bone needs to be white, I think it gives it a rustic feel against the elegance of the tartare and veggies and fat. Great work.

  3. Maybe some more actual tartare, even it’s for a one biter. Have an intention for components rather than trying to showcase an idea

  4. 100% customer is gonna drop pieces on to pebble. I think that bone does more harm than good when it comes to composing a bite. I would rather build it and plate it on the bone as a an amuse bite. Then u could have two pieces on there for the first shared bites

  5. I like it for a complementary amuse or parts of a multi course. I’d be peeved if I paid extra for it. It’s pretty though!

  6. Disclaimer not a chef: it looks great but I’d like at least twice the serving size even if it is multi course affair.

    Sound interesting but one pointer: if your photography subject is predominantly brown (i.e. this dish) don’t take it on a brown background.

    So very mixed feedback. Let me preface with the fact that this is the first bite of a 10 course $250 tasting menu. Intended to be small and a one-two biter. Guests are given a spoon and instructed use the cracker and the spoon to meet in the middle, no one had any issues eating it. The bone was bleached repeatedly and is pearl white in the middle, ends we’re torched to give it a more organic look, lighting was weird. Again this is in a fine dining setting where we often use inedible “not plates” I know this is a polarizing thing but the reality is it is part of an experience and not just going out to dinner.
