18 Times Restaurants Were Apparently Allergic To Using Plates And Served Their Food In The Most Hilarious, Unnecessary Ways

IDK about you, but I have a slight obsession with restaurants that present their dishes in ridiculous, over-the-top ways to seem *cool* and ~different~. Here are some of my recent faves, courtesy of r/WeWantPlates:

1.

“Pizza staircase.”

2.

“Fries or bread in a clog is almost excusable, but ice cream?”

3.

“We ordered a salad…”

4.

“Scrambled egg in an eggshell, on a straw hat, on ice, on a slate!”

5.

“Black skin fried chicken served on driftwood.”

6.

“Yes, I asked, it’s a real bone.”

7.

“Left a trail all the way from the counter to the table.”

8.

“Ordered the ‘Feedbag Shovel’ and got this abomination…”

9.

“Why is this a thing?”

10.

“[Hummus] fresh from the garden.”

11.

“Soba noodles in [an] ice block.”

12.

“A glazed doughnut grilled cheese on a banana hanger (hanging over tomato soup).”

13.

“Wife got plate, but upside down.”

14.

“French restaurant served my [girlfriend] food on a rock.”

15.

“The classic. Straight up shovel (but it was good).”

16.

“I wanted a plate, not a whole tree.”

17.

“Fried asparagus.”

18.

And finally, “Matcha tea chocolate crisp on wire trees and in a squirrel’s mouth.”
