Obvious there's a lot of thoughtful advice and good-faith critique here, but man, this is one of the subs that annoys me on a regular basis. Some commenters here act like they're some big-shot fine dining mentor, ego-tripping on their own preferred plating and suggesting needless changes to every component.
I recall seeing people here who demanded a perfectly lovely Peruvian ceviche be 1) not on a floral plate (what?), not have a "lake" of leche de tigre (being generous with this is not a flaw…), and not have sweet potato curls because it's confusing (literally a traditional ingredient in this style.)
That's not "feedback." It's just random people acting like they know better, without asking a single damn question to OP!

Came here to say that the scallop dish had strong borsch vibes…then read the ingredients
Try not posting to public forums if you can’t handle the negative comments.
It sounds like you are upset about other people’s opinions when they don’t coincide with your own. The ones you do agree with are thoughtful and in good faith. The ones you don’t agree with are ego-tripping.
Scallop dish needs work, seems overly wet? The borscht puree has split and started to seep.
More sauerkraut, don’t slice the scallop but place it on the sauerkraut, and do the borscht as a gel, few dots along with a few dots of a thicker emulsified shallot cream.
Also the huge sprig of dill just annoying.
Edit to add, sear on the scallop is bang on.
Take it with a pinch of salt, or don’t, I don’t care.
Don’t post here if you don’t care for feedback/praise/constructive criticism. If you just want to showcase your food, start a vlog, insta or TikTok. The kitchen is brutal and thin skin doesn’t last long.
Gorgeous plating! Maybe the puree and cream in the second plate could be shaped differently?
There’s a reason there are a million parody subs on Reddit with circlejerk in the name.
There are way too many people who just want to see their own words posted for everyone else to see. Too many off them end up sounding like a parrot repeating something it heard once without really understanding it.
It’s not that a lot of the posts here don’t need some constructive criticism. It’s that some of the constructive criticism just sucks.
