I hope the “messy seafood served directly on the table” trope is still popular

Ive been to a ton of boils like this and prefer it than digging around in a pot.
This allows everyone to grab 1 of the 6 varieties of items in it

It’s funny how much these stupid methods are often filming a person who can’t do something as basic as dump food by tipping a pan

Good luck OP.

It’s boiled seafood. This is normal. I don’t see an issue.

ImGoingBackToMonke

IFeedSquirrelsAMA

This is normal not stupid
TemporaryClemency22
Stupid food or stupid people?
Spritebubblegum

i always wonde rif this is a cost saving measure. since you have to wash the tablecloth anyways you save on the cleaning of plates
DiverseVoltron
Their attempt to contain the butter with the tablecloth is admirable but pathetic.
DistractionCitron
This is how you eat a seafood boil.

Nothing inherently wrong with a seafood boil but maybe have someone actually capable of flipping the pot over and not…
Mostly_Maui_Wowie
Why the hell did that take so long?

The only stupid part of this is that they dumped the melted butter on the table, otherwise it would be normal for a seafood boil.

Idgaf how or where anyone eats their seafood boil but whoever is holding that bowl is really pissing me off
EticketJedi
I realize it’s traditional and there are reasons for it, but I have never understood the whole eat off the table part of seafood boils. I think it’s just an aesthetic thing with me.
I’d still eat it regardless.

Why not just leave it on the platter? Nothing nore than a gimmicky presentation.

Hot melted butter on your lap completes the experience.

The only positive thing I could say about this is at least it looks like it was cooked and seasoned.

This isn’t stupid for a seafood boil; it’s a very long-standing tradition in a whole lot of places. What is stupid is spaghetti, salads, and potato salads… I have watched someone do it with ice cream, others with fries and chicken nuggets. Just blegh.

Might as well serve with style; try hitting the pan into your customer who is the “head of the table”, be sure to make more tips. Or if you tried pouring out the food from a ladder? That way you are ensured and guaranteed that everyone sitting in the table gets the splash damage, of course don’t forget to throw your pan at someone deserving. Don’t forget to execute the best customer service, elbow drop from the top of the ladder. More tips if you can break the table and win the employee of the month.

Well it’s not directly on the table

Mmmm tastes like plastic.

I’m pretty sure you still eat paella in the pan.

Why did someone vomit on this pan?
zorggalacticus
They put the paper down for specifically this purpose. Most seafood boils do this. It’s gonna get eaten with your hands anyway. This way they can spread it out more and everybody can grab something without touching everything else too. The dud just sucks at dumping the food out for some reason.
