Is it weird for the sauce smear to be outside of the ramekin or am I being judgemental?

    I would think something was missing from the plate. Looks incomplete.

    controversial take but i think the smear should be phased out

    I’d bitch my cooks out! Or I’d tell chef he’s bustin my damn balls here! Food costs dude! Can’t we use a cheaper garnish…a napkin even

    Definitely not a clean presentation. If that’s important to this restaurant.

    I used to go to a pub and get a plowman‘s lunch. They use a dab of honey to hold down the small steel ramekin that held some sauce. Maybe that’s the purpose in this case too?

    I think a sauce schmear is kinda redundant if you’re serving a dessert that’s already in a ramiken. Maybe a fanned strawberry, but I think it’s fine to let a creme brulee stand on its own.

    What really tips their hand is that they use the same plate-up for all three deserts. Bake a cake, or something if you want to do plate art.

    It’s to keep the ramekin from sliding you helmets not for added flavor.

    Mind sharing the name of the place privately? Need to add it to my list of Liverpool FC bars!

    Wait is this just… Ice cream in ramekins?

  10. You are being judgmental.
    But you’re right to judge.
    I think we’re all judging this nonsense pretty harshly.

    you’re telling me a house made this dessert?

  12. It’s mostly so the ramkin doesn’t slide around the plate.

    Anytime a sauce exists they should provide a method for absorbing the sauce so I can put it in my big facehole.

    I think it’s fine, but it’s annoying for the dishie.

    Incredibly silly, you’re not being judgmental.

    Im so sick of the spoon swipe like at this point to me it reads more like “look how fancy we are and how stupid you are for thinking this makes us fancy” like

    My assumption is it holds the ramekin in place, they could just put it on a smaller plate but idk

    It’s not just weird. It’s straight up dumb. Clear case of using random plating techniques with zero notion of why they’re doing them.

  19. blitzkrieg_bunny

    They need something to hold it in place

    Are they trying to show me the dish, or the plating? Cause all three of these look great, but I feel like the angle of capture for the photos could have been better.

    These look like the premade deserts you can buy at Costco

    Is all the censorsip really necessary? Do you think the staff is gonna come after you for having an opinion?
