>>7782807
>>7782810
this is just lazy
>>7782820
I like how it looks. Its much cooler looking than a bigass meringue filled with curd
>>7782798
Looks great OP
>>7782785
I'd spit in your face if you served this to me.
>>7782840
Good thing you could never afford it, poorfag.
Those meals are the kind you pay for and still leave hungry.
>>7782832
its still a pile of mess in the middle of a plate. its got smudges of syrup or some shit all over it and you can tell where the guy touched the meringue with his dirty fingers. They made one of the most boring and simple things they could with a meringue. Then that small pile of raw berries, lol. The curd looks like he tried to quenelle it or some shit but completely failed. Its just funny seeing a tasting menu ending on something so unremarkable.
>>7782853
they probably just made a meringue dome over the curd and broke it with a spoon. it's a popular hipster thing to make something perfect then smash it. personally it annoys me too but it's just a fashion thing, i would only say it's lazy at the conceptual stage.
>>7782853
No quenelle, just a blob of curd down on the plate after the syrup goes down. I stand by the plate, aaaand the berries were tossed in sugar and left to macerate in their own juices at room temp for a couple hours prior to service
Its a tasty dessert, senpai. The meringue/curd are made w duck eggs as well
>>7782846
did you ever stop to consider the fact that the point of the meal isn't to stuff your fat face, but to eat cool shit and also leave feeling sated?
>>7782846
it's this guy again.
>>7782780
This is why i stopped working in fine dining. half of it is stupid pretty plating while boasting what kind of new technique you used for it.
That soup sounds extremly delicious tho. How do you pickle the aspargus? i wouldve roasted it over a flame shortly not pickled it, the smokey flavour wouldve been great in the soup.
>>7782780
>I'm the dude
No one likes you.
>>7783091
for the soup we just cooked off asparagus with the fermented jalapenos and onions, pureed it, finished with salt/lemon juice/sherry vin/maple syrup.
the asparagus was pickled with the standard 3/4 cup apple cider vin, 1/4 cup water, 1/4 cup sugar brought to a boil with aromatics
>>7783092
no u
>>7783160
no u
>>7782843
I can, however, afford a proper full meal for a fraction of the price of this fucking rabbit food.
>>7783246
it's pretentious because it's food people eat for entertainment, not because they're starving
>>7783246
You do know this is a tasting menu, right?
>>7783265
>expecting a flyover lardass to comprehend the concept of a tasting menu
It's a fucking troll you fucking morons
>>7784263
Harsh.
Let's be friendly.

LOL, dude that's just precious
>>7782785
