    Way way too much oil but otherwise looks nice. I think this plate likely looks better in person than in the pic – all the colors colors are a little drab

    I’ll disagree with the others about the amount of oil. I think it’s about right and fitting for the dish.

    I’d be very happy to eat this in its entirety

  3. I’m in the too much oil camp. The color contrast is nice, but yeah it’s just too much.

    Maybe it’s just the lighting, but the scallops also look like they’ve been through hell. Looks like the entire thing has dried out rather than just getting a nice hard sear

    Needs something on top. Maybe dressed carrot tops, or nice pieces of herbs that are in the herb oil. I think I’m in the “less oil” camp, too.

    The US is strongly considering invading your plate

    Who cares about the amount of oil? Nobody HAS to eat it all… but those poor scallops tho… 😳

    The amount of herb oil is quite off putting to be completely honest.

    Not loving the sear on those scallops, like everyone else said there’s way too much oil overall. The corn puree and the herb oil are clashing and the overall plating seems a bit sloppy in my opinion. I think this has a lot of potential and probably tastes absolutely superb but tighten it up a little bit next time.

    A more vibrant carrot would probably work better, couldn’t tell what it was on first read and they’re very dull.

    I like the color in the Maque choux though, contrasts with that sea of green.

    I agree with the other commenters that you need less oil on the plate and a better sear on the scallops.

    Looking forward to seeing a refined work if you post it.
