Plating Ideas That Seemed Great At First But Were NOT

A+ A-

Aesthetics and plating are as important a part of any fine dining experience as the food itself. Creativity plays a major role in this, of course, ensuring the colors of each dish are perfectly paired and laid out gloriously for the eater. Unfortunately, a colorful and unique idea does not necessarily make a good plate. Instead of giving customers a wow-worthy meal, you may instead leave them baffled and quite possibly unsure of how to eat, as was the case with these hilarious failed attempts at out-of-the-box plating.
