Will there be something in the middle of the plate too?

So much negative space that you’ve accidentally opened up a gateway to alternative universes.

If that is everything going on the plate, I would recommend smaller plates.

Is this going to the next station for a center piece?

Stop pissing on your plates, bro. You look like you need to hydrate yourself.
NeatWhiskeyPlease
That’s a long walk for a short trip.

10th day? I assume this is somebody else’s plating vision.

I have two questionants:
Does the plate come with a side of food?
And why waste time with big plate when little plate do trick?

At this point the blank space is the actual the dish

Did you actually cut a raspberry in half? Goes good with the half plate of air.

If it is the 10 th day, shouldn’t they have shown you how it should be plated

What was supposed to go in the middle? I’m getting a plate of smells, but nothing to chew on
ChefArtorias
Keep it the same but reposition the cake to be more center and it looks good.

Love that there’s enough room on the plate for me to lay down next to it before consuming.

If you told the plate in half and eat it like a taco, you won’t notice the open sea in the middle.

looks like somebody already ate the rest of it

Roast, I don’t see any roast? Where’s the beef?

Tighten it up, it’s as spaced out as…. like outer space or something. Nice form though, if you’re into planetariums, space head.

Im confused. Its only your 10th day in a kitchen and the chef is giving you complete control.over plating? I’ve never heard of that before.

does anything else go on the plate

Is the open space in the middle where my dessert will go?
SamFeuerstelle
Please tell me something goes in that *massive negative space* you’ve left in the middle.

Why’s the plate so big?

This looks kinda nice…..BOOM ROASTED

Bring the cakey thing down a little. That might balance it out or go for a more center of the plate approach.

I’d say you’re doing too many plates to grade because your consistency shifts. Plate 4 in middle is missing the green dusting … pistachios(?).
Set an optimal plate at the left, aim to do four plates in a minute that match this plate. Put them in series. I’d also recommend replating this dish, as there will be technical challenges getting the droplets to settle in desired place.
Put the pistachios(?) under the golden … tiny egg yolk droplets caramel(?). Even when you put them directly on the cake icing, as they should help to contain the droplets and keep them from adventuring into the middle of the plate. When you place the green crumbs press the spoon tip into them so that you can make a home for the droplets.
No one wants a homeless droplet.
Let the sauce be the final topping. Maybe only do one stripe of sauce instead of trying to do a crescent moon and never landing that.
Throw some ice cream in the middle of the plate to make the children on Reddit happy about not having anything in the middle of the plate. Or maybe some extra berries with a dusting of light brown or raw sugar—we recently picked up a bag of “Florida Crystal” that works great on strawberries. Shipped it in a cute container for food truck service to put on in front of the customers—the sheet says “not salt bae overconfidence, just to bring a special touch.”
So to summarize: the single sauce stripe on the cake in plate 12 is good. The neatness of the cake topping on 9 looks fine. Don’t cut the raspberry unless you also want to do that with the blackberry. The green crumbs on 7 and 12 really announce that you have no idea what you’re trying to do on that side of the plate.

Gotta play hockey to get more than a drop of sauce, yike.

Can you get some bigger plates?

Missed the urinal there, bud.

Too much negative space
Fluid_Examination_45
No consistency

I feel like we’ve all been here. Watching someone else plate something in a way we find pleasing, later trying to replicate it and getting negative feedback. Trends in how we plate food are so fleeting and it doesn’t take long before everything is we do is eye-rolled into balsamic glaze and squash purée territory. At least some of us make the effort to explore what works and what doesn’t.

Oh dear

I could wipe my ass with one of those plates and it would look better!
bluntcrumb
this just got recommended in my feed so no experience in here but i feel a scoop of green tea ice cream in the middle would be kinda bonkers (if thats a lemon bar or cake)
