Are These Hipsters Ruining the Restaurant Industry?
Have you ever gone to a restaurant and wondered "What the hell were they thinking?" Well, there's a subreddit for that!
We Want Plates crusades against the serving of food on bits of wood and roof tiles, chips in mugs and drinks in jam jars.
It's good to get creative in the kitchen, of course, but these chefs and restaurant owners have crossed way too many lines. Here are 27 of our favorite ridiculous FML-worthy food and beverage presentations from r/wewantplates!
My food came in a bag from WeWantPlates
Other redditors defended this one as the traditional way to do a "boil" but I don't understand why they wouldn't just dump it into a dish after cooking it.
My pizza came on a floor tile... from WeWantPlates
I'm too worried about calling this thing a pizza to think about what it's sitting on...
Is that thing dishwasher safe? from WeWantPlates
This one actually looks kind of fun... but also pricy.
Enough now from WeWantPlates
Taco in a milkshake cup, a little known Mexican food delicacy from WeWantPlates
I haven't seen anything this unattractive and impractical since my 12-year-old self tried to wear high heels for a middle school chorus concert.
Pasta carbonara in a wax paper bag from WeWantPlates
The limp sprig of thyme really ties it all together.
Strawberry Gelatin served à la carte sur Maxi Pad from WeWantPlates
This is apparently from a restaurant in Tokyo that does all kinds of crazy presentations. Here's another page from their menu:
Appetizers and a whole chicken, over a glass... from WeWantPlates
A whole chicken??? Are you kidding me???
And last, but certainly not least, the pièce de résistance:
All that for A strawberry cut in half. from WeWantPlates
He looks just as confused as we are.
Thanks for reading, guys!

Waiter: “I’m sorry ma’am, we ran out of maxi pads, so I had to use my wife’s old ones. I hope you liked the unique flavor.”
