22 Times Food Plating Made Visitors Want to Forget About the Dishes They Ordered

When a simple plate is not enough to express the creativity behind a culinary masterpiece, some restaurants go too far. We really can expect anything these days, like having our latte come in a toilet seat. A surprising twist is always fun and refreshing, but sometimes seeing how our order is presented can make us reluctant or even scared to dig into the meal no matter how hungry we are.
