I keep wanting larger pictures of these types of meals.(That’s not brightside’s fault, they all look like this) Until then I think some are parodies in someone’s kitchen. I don’t doubt that some restaurants are crazy but I just want some not so zoomed in. People have such beautiful kitchens and tables now it’s hard to tell if someone didn’t just have a dinner party using things found in a shed. Haha sorry, these are still fun to go “oh my gosh” over.

Some restaurants prefer to conquer people’s hearts with tasty dishes, others prefer to focus on extraordinary presentation. However, sometimes the chefs who opted for the second option go a bit too far because the line between sensible creativity and crazy imagination is much thinner than one might think.
Chefs from the Bright Side compilation also did their best to find that line and here are a bunch of “masterpieces” they came up with.
1. “I was served this dish at a 5-star hotel.”
2. “Yes, my food was on a plate, which was served upside down.”
3. “The same tiles were in their bathroom.”
4. “Our appetizer was in a shoe. They refused my request to try it on or take it home.”
5. What happened to the rest of it?
6. “I don’t know what to eat and what not to eat.”
7. Not the best way to serve a Caesar salad
8. “I was served 3 chips on a log.”
9. “My appetizer was served on a goat horn and straw...”
10. Ice cream in half a coconut
11. “My entree was served in a toaster.”
12. “Why would you do that?”
13. “Some of the best burgers I have eaten were served on a bone.”
14. Dessert served on a plastering trowel
15. “This dish is too thin to fit a spoon comfortably.”
16. “These snacks served with stones: some are real stones and some are to eat. You have to guess!”
17. “Cheese served on a mouse trap.. no fingers were harmed.”
18. “Our chips were served in a rock. Not on, IN.”
19. “Excuse me, but what is this?”
20. “Everyone else got a plate. Here is what I got.”
Have you ever visited cafes or restaurants famous for the way they serve dishes? Do you have any photos left from that place?
