If I wanted something with your thumb in it I’d eat the inside of your ear.

This is from Alinea in Chicago, they’ve been doing this for years. The sauces and garnishes change but the final item is always the liquid nitrogen “cake” that they shatter. OPs title made it seem like this is a trend, it is not… I believe Alinea is the only place doing it like this.
FWIW the “tablecloth” is actually a custom made mat they place over the table that has a little grid like texture to it that you can’t see in the video, it helps keep the sauces from running all over the place.
Dumb question, but as a customer gong there, you have fair warning this is what they do, correct?
Like you don’t order something expensive for food, and they just show up dropping shit on your table, then get a bill for $500?

I have hated everything about this since I first saw it. Just no. The table looks like a toddler’s high chair tray afterward.

To be fair, this was a restaurant in Miami (?) and the chef is an Alinea alumni that was doing an Alinea throwback night with a tribute to a bunch of their famous dishes through the years.
Generally, yeah, this shouldn’t be done by just anyone. But in this case I think it’s acceptable considering the circumstances.

I’m more offended by the “Billionaire’s Club” handle of the social account that posted this.
