Taking an awful risk, Vader, posting this here again.
Posted this the other day, but corrected for exposure on a different angle and it brought the pork color a little unnaturally pink.
This was just ambient daylight, no correction.
135 for 90 minutes, seared at pickup. Part of a small plate dinner.
Received some feedback last time on slicing, as part of an expectation on upscale dining, which I can’t really argue with, this plating was just mean to be more bold, single pieces in presentation.
Expecting some friction, but thought this represented better what I was going for.

Something about the one two three plating doesn’t turn my crank. Is the pork dry? Sometimes the photos are deceiving. Overall 7/10 with slight room for improvement on the composition and plating. Maybe not underline all three with sauce?
Why the 3 sauces and 2 produce “sides”. I think the pork looks better with this exposure. I can give or take slicing the meat in to shingled slices if this was intentional. But the dish doesn’t read fine dining or professional chef. It looks like a great home cook made an attempt. So not horrible by any means. But it looks disjointed. Trios on plates is a dated concept and I think you could pull this dish together a bit more. However, you seem happy with it and I am not looking to argue with OP. Just not my style.
Much nicer pic. As part of a tasting I think it is perfect.
You can hear the forks screeching on this plate all the way from left field to right field. Bring it together.
This just isn’t a dish. It’s not even a “small tasting dish as part of a menu”. It’s just a collection of things.
I liked the first one and I like this one too! The way the 3 components each echo the same basic theme is pleasing. I can see it’s not for everyone.
Whitespace would be more consistent on a rectangular plate.
Someone really said “they’re too far apart, people will scratch the forks against the plate” – okay… what about literally everything else? This community is insufferable.
Definitely not going to comment this time
What did that broccolini do to deserve this fate
Did you just throw the broccoli into the fire like Frodo?
