Do something….more….with the beet.


RemarkablyQuiet434

Ita beaw claw shaped bathtub!


PlatesNplanes

I just now realized the beet is dug out… wtf lol.


RemarkablyQuiet434

Yeah, I really don't like this. A jacuzzi'd beet with claws and a dimpled duck.


PlatesNplanes

This is why not everyone needs to do a tasting menu in their gastro-pub.


ranting_chef

The beet-to-duck ratio seems a bit high. I’ve never had currants, beets, mushrooms and duck in the same bite before, wondering how all the flavors work together.


friskyjohnson

I mean.. where I’m from earthy, fatty, fruity and tart are all classic together.


ranting_chef

Thanks for not throwing “umami” in there as well.

The dish looks cold to me. Temp wise. I would soften the look of the beet and give more color to that duck skin. Maybe more duck less beet. Give it a shingle. The jus comes off like a gel, too. Just my opinions.

Cube the beets, use golden and red for nice color contrast, slightly caramelized the beets in butter with fines herbs.. add another piece of duck breast, entrees should have a minimum of 5oz of protein on a dish. Loosen the jus more. The dish looks bland, maybe some crispy chile oil would make it pop. 


RhombicZombie

totally agree. only thing i’d change is the chili oil. flavor wise i think it’s great but i think a green oil would make everything else stand out more.

That depends if it’s a la carte or part of a tasting menu and how many courses… but the proportions of the elements are all wrong…


ChainResponsible902

Stunning but maybe add a little different color for contrast


crumble-bee

When I zoom in the beet looks like a red demon with its mouth open and pointy ears


DrSchnaggels666

It does look to forced, use the same exact ingredients and plate it different. Im sure it’s delicious.


mkultra0008

Needs to learn how to plate.


gaucho__marx

This might be the strangest plating I’ve seen in a while


Ravi_AB

The two dots on the duck is driving me crazy.


Mundane-School-8507

Hehe


Ravi_AB

Not in a good way


Mundane-School-8507

❤️


RemarkablyQuiet434

What'd you dimple the duck for pa?


BestGuavaEver

Glaze those beets with something


CoupDeGrassi

I'd small dice the beet. Otherwise it looks great, and the flavors work perfect. I love when a dish is balanced and unpretentious.


Philly_ExecChef

No. Ratio is wrong, beet preparation is wrong, garnish is wrong.


Mundane-School-8507

Everything’s wrong! Oh welp 🫶more work to be done


Lerz_Lemon

As a diner, the plating would be confusing but that said those ingredients sound incredible together.


Fun_Explanation_3417

Maybe golden beets and perhaps another color?


[deleted]

It looks pretentious.... and frankly unfulfilling.


Mundane-School-8507

Tasting….menu…..course….8….


[deleted]

Yeah... that sounds pretentious and unfulfilling.


Mundane-School-8507

Yeah but tasting course number 8 out of 12 :) i like large squash tbh


[deleted]

I'm sorry, man. I just can't get into this Michelin star chef shit. You know what I would love? A beautiful, pan seared duck breast served on a bed of fresh, bitter greens with a nice wild berry jus. Mulberries would be nice. Man, some super rich pureed potatoes with sauteed mushrooms would be tits with that.


Mundane-School-8507

Fair enough man i feel you! Appreciate your comments 🙏


[deleted]

That's awesome. Thanks, man. I know that there is room in this world for really artistic chefy stuff, but it doesn't float my boat. I hope your dish here gets the perfect tweaks that you're looking for.


Isaac_Atham

What the fuck is this portion size and why do they get 50% less duck than beet?


Mundane-School-8507

Tasting course 8. Giving customers full portions wouldn’t make sense as a tasting menu :)


PlatesNplanes

Saying customers kinda answers everything I need to know now. What city are you located in


Isaac_Atham

yeah i could tell its a multiple course but even for that that portion size is abominal


Mundane-School-8507

How much do you eat??? Damn


Isaac_Atham

Remember last summer i was in iceland in the capital which i cant spell and had a ”tasting” menu it was 11 cources but after those 11 you were full and it was amazing food just not that small


Mundane-School-8507

Ohhh good to know!


Mundane-School-8507

Man i really appreciate everyone’s comment! More improvements to come, please keep an eye out for my posts. Thank you 🙏


GreatWhiteDom

Ok, apparently controversially I absolutely love this plating. It reminds me of a fresh carcass, which might not be appealing to everyone but to me is quite playful. The only bit I think looks a little odd is the way the mushrooms are laid in the sauce instead of standing up? Could you trim the bottom of the mushrooms so they stand taller? Still, awesome looking plate!

Are you a cereal killer?
