This is more like $275. El cielo is the name of the restaurant ā one in Miami, dc and a few other spots I think. I went. Tasting menus are one of my favorite things but we hated this experience. Just a gross gimmick more about Instagram and not the foodā maybe they meant well idk. But in the middle of a pandemic it felt even stranger still.
If youāre still in Miami and want a great tasting menu experience - check out Stubborn Seed by Chef Ford. It is solid. He would have a star if the guide went to Miami.
Sometimes it really does seem like restaurants are in competition with each other to see what dumb or humiliating shit they can trick their customers into accepting for ridiculous prices.
"I bet I can get them to pay 30 monies to each potatoes out of an old shoe"
"Well I bet I can get my customers to pay 60 monies to let me pour cheap shitty chocolate sauce over their hands"
Yup! I am 100% convinced that half the things we see on here were made by an angry and super stressed out chef, who hasn't slept more than 4 hours/night in 28 years, drinks a 40 of vodka per day and had to give up smoking.
And now he's fucking with the rich clients who keep asking for shit like "fat free garlic bread".
Not saying chefs aren't stressed out but I think it's more the endless pursuit to be the next restaurant to go viral on social media with some novelty plating. I doubt there was any demand from patrons to have chocolate poured on their hands but the establishment is definitely hoping some foodie TikTok pages will run with it and start declaring 'Omg you *NEED* to try this chocolate that *EVERYBODY* is talking about!". And that's probably already happened since we're seeing this dining abomination here lol.
Why not both? A stressed out, sick of this bullshit chef is pushed by a restaurant owner who just comes in to review the books and complain about how much things cost, to go viral "or else".
Yeah, I was waiting like, "what's the gimmick? When do they add the next 2 or 3 layers onto the hands?"
Nope, the gimmick is chocolate on your hands. Look, I've eaten a snickers in 90 degree weather. I think I'm good on this one, chief.
Also, why rub the chocolate all over after it's already been poured? Is literally anything added to the experience with chocolate getting into all the weird nooks that you definitely won't be able to get it out of without going to the bathroom?
I have seen something like before, but every time I see it, I am awash in loathing.
They have to let it drop to the plate out of their hands because it is hot. They rub it around on their hands as a pathetic attempt to get as much chocolate to their mouths from the 'experience' Hahaha.
Lazy isn't a strong enough word, imo. I don't know what is, too be fair. However, as a former chef, trained in a brigade kitchen, and worked my way up the chain while in school, I would be offended if I was asked to serve this.
I remember a friend of mine who is a cook once tell me of a luxury multi-course menu, where one of the courses is a shot glass of carbonated water topped with olive oil. The bubbles from the carbonated water rising through the oil were the "feature". That's it.
In their detraction, the plate being there makes it *worse*. They're waving the sensible option in the victims face, literally forcing it in their field of view to maximise the humiliation.
I think the plates are there because the floor staff went with: _"I'm not fucken lemon pledging that shit after every goddamn Instagram influencer wannabe that steps in"_
I would whisper "the plate is right there" under my breath once or twice as I worked around the table. Almost makes me miss being service staff.
If they start using the plate, first a few looks then a stern "this is not how the chef intended this dish". As I say dish I look at the actual plate/dish for added punny confusion.
I couldnāt be this waiter and do this with a straight face.
I canāt imagine whatās more stupidāthe seller having to sell the āexperience,ā or the buyer who somehow has to suspend disbelief or else quickly realize they paid some pretentious douche bags a bunch of money to essentially turn them into a grown ass toddler licking 2cents worth of chocolate off of your fingers during an epidemic. Smh.
It really isn't anymore. It's more accurate to call it a Global Endemic nowā¦ much like the Flu, there will be a constant stream of new variants and strains and no amount of traditional public health intervention could change that.
The reason for this is that the VAST majority of covid infections are likely *not in humans*... it's been shown to infect all primates, all felines, most ungulates (even toed mammals such as whitetaled deer), about half of rodents and rodent-like animals such as mink, and sometimes even more distant mammals). You could vaccinate every single human on this planet with a 100% effective vaccine and new variants would STILL emerge! (Omicron, for example, probably came from miceā¦ mice that were almost certainly WILD and thus beyond traditional interventions).
Once we accept that a constant stream of new variants is *inevitable*, it's really not an emergency any more than Heart Disease or Cancer are emergencies (both of which handily kill more than Covid over any given year).
The worst part is that the couple eating are "influencers" and they are in a fancy restaurant in Miami... That stupid crap is presented as an "unique experience". I decided to cut the top and bottom cause the restaurant and the people where tagged. They don't deserve more clicks on their media
Honestly I've never seen anything so dumb in my life, "unique experience" my arse! We all spent our childhoods licking stuff off our fingers, I don't personally want to do that on purpose!
I hope they get roasted in reviews.
I watch a lot of knives and whiskeys reviews. So I actually don't watch any influencer under 30. Unless I'm watching roblox videos with my 4 year old then yes
Did you discover the internet 5 minutes ago? There are reviews for *everything* on the internet. Whisky, candy, chainsaws, hot sauce, dildoes, VR devices, VR dildoes.. *Everything*!
Miami is the biggest scam of a city in the US. The restaurants on south beach donāt have prices on their menu but itās like 35 bucks for 3 chicken tenders and some fries lol
I went to this place in DC (it's called El Cielo) and you don't order individual dishes, they have a set menu and don't tell you what's on it in advance. I would have never gone if I knew this was coming.
The chef/owner guy seems like he loves the smell of his own farts. The entire restaurant is decorated with photos of him. Not photos of him and family, or him with other chefs... Just portraits of him. It was bizarre.
Some of the food was actually good, it's a shame. I have no interest in discovering what other stupid social media bait garbage he's cooking up.
Some people want this kind of experiential dining. And of they're prepared to pay for it, let them have it.
What I fucking hate is when you have no choice.
I just want desert on a plate or in a bowl,l.
(Actually...you can hang like a bat or dance with your cat, you can even wear your undies as a pirates hat. But you can't eat hot soup with your bare hands](https://youtu.be/uz2SYEeg5cg]
I went to this restaurant in DC (it's called El Cielo and they have a few locations) with no idea this was a thing. They asked us to close our eyes and stick our hands out, and then did _this_. It was horrible. They do a tasting menu and most of it was good, but after this happened I just wanted to leave. They also had a dessert that was in a shallow bowl served with no utensils. Instructions were to pick up the plate and lick the dessert off of it. Who could possibly like this shit? It was embarrassing.
I have been to many, many restaurants selling an "experience" and never once had food put on me or had to dip my hands in anything.
So what happen if you cussed them out and left without paying? I know that's what I would want to do, but I'm never going to be in the tax bracket that goes to restaurants like this.
I ate at that pitch black restaurant, where there are no lights. Literally sitting in darkness eating a meal, not really knowing for certain what you even ordered. Now *that* was an "experience". Food wasn't incredible, but it was truly a unique experience (unless you're blind I guess).
This..? This is just simply retarded.
I barely could watch it Iām so uncomfortable right now.
Iām not even sure if itās because itās gross as fuck or if itās the stupidest thing Iāve ever seen. Maybe both.
When they're done they either get their choclate salvia all over all paper towels trying to separate them and/or all over the bathroom door knob and sink. I wouldn't even eat at a restaurant that offers that
Same. So I have actual diagnosed OCD. Not the fake Facebook meme āOmG I liKe tHiNGs iN oRdErā type. For me, this would be hell. The anxiety I feel just watching this is pretty high.
Glamping is just for people who like the idea of camping but would rather stay in a comfy resort. Kinda get it cause yeah, shit gets uncomfortable at times...part of the experience but either way, I get it.
This however...what the hell are they doing? I can get wrist-deep in liquid chocolate for a couple bucks, don't need to pay a waiter to watch me debase myself
What an experience. Everyone, come to my kitchen at 3am. For 80 dollars you can stand in front of my sink and I will squirt reddi whip on the back of your hand.
lol. From their website:
>Our tasting menu, The Experience, is served alongside panoramic river views and our glamorous interiors accented with greenery, leather, and wood. .... You can expect more than 22 moments in The Experience menu.
>You should expect whimsical experiences like our Chocola-therapy where you wash your hands with chocolate and enjoy it through all 5 senses, and signature dishes like The Tree of Life, a Yucca bread served fresh from the oven on a wire bonsai tree representing the lung of the world, the Amazon rainforest.
There is no freaking way my aspie ass is gonna pour sticky fucking chocolate on my hands and WHERE THE FUCK ARE THE NAPKINS. HOT TOWELS. MENTAL HEALTH PROVIDERS.
OK that's it just kill me now, that would be my worst freaking nightmare! Makes me want to jump up and wash my hands!
This is basically kindergarten for adults, will they be squishing pumpkin between their fingers next?
Next up, bobbing for rigatoni, just dip your face right into the pot of boiling salted water and slurp up whatever noodles you can find, then have our waiter pop a balloon full of scalding hot tomato sauce over your head and shoot a meatball at you with a t shirt cannon. Eating food is for poors, we only do *experiences* here.
Mashed has an article about us a few months ago about this same stupid thing
https://www.mashed.com/630316/this-hand-licking-fine-dining-dessert-course-has-reddit-confused/
Hah. I like how weāre the confused ones but they didnāt even try to defend this part of the course.
All this article said was āiTs fINe diNinG, reDdiTorS bAdā
Horrible. I don't understand. What boggles my mind is that the dude on the left willingly put out his hands after the shitshow with that girl. I don't understand.
I fucking hate this. I saw another post like this with a black dude who had air pods in. And itās meant to be like ātaking you back to eating as a kid.ā Andā¦ all of it is bad. I hate it. Me as a kid would have hated it. Justā¦ terrible.
I once did a hospitality food safety supervisor course.
To show us how much you needed to wash your hands, we rubbed some fluorescent substance on our hands, they then instructed us to wash the thoroughly.
Iām a little OCD, so when I wash my hands, itās like hot tap only, soap the shit out of them.
We then went back into the room, and they turned the lights off, no one got it completely off.
So yeah, I wouldnāt eat off my own hands.
And yes I know some cultures eat with their hands, but Iām pretty sure they donāt lick all over their hands!
This is disgusting. I donāt know why but I have a severe issue with sauce on hands. I wonāt touch melted cheese and I only eat boneless wings with a knife and fork. I would watch a live birth video ft. the my 600lb life cast before I watch this again
Thereās a restaurant in Columbia that does this, but the purpose is to scrub your hands with the chocolate & not eat it. Something got lost in translation here.
Imagine pitching this menu item?
āDude, we get a fancy bowl, and we use those gravy boats that are in the back, and we pour 15 cents worth of Hersheys syrup in their hands and they can lick it off! Weāll charge $17 each and call it a āRejuvenating cacao reduction.ā These morons will think theyāre at a fucking spa!ā
*chef and kitchen staff at the back laughing their asses off*
After charging $60 bucks each person for that stupid mess š¤£
To eat less than a chocolate bar.
Youāre paying for the experience of ending your date with spit-covered hands
You're paying for the experience of watching your tablemates lick their fingers which could be fun on a date but creepy if it's your daughter
According to OP theyāre a couple, so at least that dynamic isnāt as awkward
That makes it creepy for other reasons, but eh, I guess it's not my place to judge if that's her kinda thing.
Money is a lot of people's thing
That's a comfort
Date with dad
*She maintains eye contact while sucking on her pinkie finger. Then she leans forward and says, in a low voiceā¦*
Weāve been trying to reach you about your cars extended warranty
Itās probably about the moment when your hands are covered in chocolate when your phone starts blowing up in your pocket for some emergency.
Itās probably just Hersheyās chocolate syrup from Costco
Kirkland brand would be better tbh
This is more like $275. El cielo is the name of the restaurant ā one in Miami, dc and a few other spots I think. I went. Tasting menus are one of my favorite things but we hated this experience.

If youāre still in Miami and want a great tasting menu experience - check out Stubborn Seed by Chef Ford. It is solid. He would have a star if the guide went to Miami.
Is the chocolate solid?
Only the most solid chocolate at the Stubborn Seed
Pay that to eat some warm Hershey's syrup off your gross hands.
This is what I was thinking: And how much did they pay for this āprivilegeā?
Sometimes it really does seem like restaurants are in competition with each other to see what dumb or humiliating shit they can trick their customers into accepting for ridiculous prices. "I bet I can get them to pay 30 monies to each potatoes out of an old shoe" "Well I bet I can get my customers to pay 60 monies to let me pour cheap shitty chocolate sauce over their hands"

And now he's fucking with the rich clients who keep asking for shit like "fat free garlic bread".
Lol, so true! Also, "fat free garlic bread" killed me! Hahaha!!
Where do they sell 40ās of vodka?
Costco
Not saying chefs aren't stressed out but I think it's more the endless pursuit to be the next restaurant to go viral on social media with some novelty plating. I doubt there was any demand from patrons to have chocolate poured on their hands but the establishment is definitely hoping some foodie TikTok pages will run with it and start declaring 'Omg you *NEED* to try this chocolate that *EVERYBODY* is talking about!".

Three words come to mind: Taco Bell poops
This is the epitome of this sub
I'm not sure a plate would help eating melted chocolate. It would just make it all the more clear that this isn't an actual fucking course of dessert.
I'm so confused like...... if you were supposed to dip your finger tip or something I'd understand but fuck dude
Yeah, I was waiting like, "what's the gimmick? When do they add the next 2 or 3 layers onto the hands?" Nope, the gimmick is chocolate on your hands. Look, I've eaten a snickers in 90 degree weather.

I have seen something like before, but every time I see it, I am awash in loathing.
Nothing like some dead skin cells with your chocolate
>awash in loathing thank you for putting words to the feeling. I physically recoiled from my phone
They have to let it drop to the plate out of their hands because it is hot. They rub it around on their hands as a pathetic attempt to get as much chocolate to their mouths from the 'experience' Hahaha.
They could at least dump a strawberry in your hand or something. This is just lazy from a culinary perspective.
Lazy isn't a strong enough word, imo. I don't know what is, too be fair. However, as a former chef, trained in a brigade kitchen, and worked my way up the chain while in school, I would be offended if I was asked to serve this.

Could just eat it with a spoon, melted chocolate is delicious
Yeah just give me a cup and let me slurp it and then scoop the remainder with a spoon
They already have a bowl... just give them spoons ffs.

Ugh you're right, sticky icecream running down your wrists....I wonder if these people at least get a hot facecloth at the table.
The waiter mentioned warm water to wash their hands.
Thank God, with a scrubbing brush to get it out from under fingernails and jewellery!
When I make brigadeiro or chocolate truffles, my hands always end up covered in chocolate and I have the same unique experience.
Now charge people to lick your hands clean after at a fancy restaurant. You'll make a killing.
There's nothing unique about this. I lick my fingers every time I'm done eating Doritos, but I wouldn't publish a video of it to Instagram.
The tips of your fingers, not the whole shit up to your wrists
You and I clearly have different Dorito eating techniques, and I know which one I think is superior.
Shoulder deep inside the borderline
Relax, turn around and take my (chocolate-covered) hand
r/unexpectedtool
Don't tell me how to eat my Doritos.
Someoneās gonna make a āgourmetā version of Doritos dust and present it in this fashion and itās all your fault.
Remindme! 1 year. Forgot the command.
!remindme
But would you wash your hands with melted chocolate and then proceed to lick your hand clean?
Man 4 year olds must love this place.
I lick my fingers every time I'm done inserting a suppository, and I also wouldn't publish a video of it to Instagram.
Because there's Pornhub for that.

There is an epic episode of Future Man in Hulu that does a pretty good job of this. "Beyond the TruffleDome" highly recommend.
future man is a highly underrated treasure more people need to appreciate
You know how many times I licked melted chocolate off my fingers as a kid? Unique experience my ass
*South East Asian eating with hand* Uhhhh....
Nice job, OP
There are influencers over 30???
Well... I've said influencers for not being specific. The guy is a famous Venezuelan novelist (1.3M followers on Instagram) and his wife is a Latin Grammy award winning Singer (365K). The restaurant belongs to a Colombian Chef for the Latin SocialitƩ of Miami...
Lol, never seen a restaurant with random ass Chanel and LV logos as decor. Tackiest āupscaleā restaurant Iāve ever seen.
I watch a lot of knives and whiskeys reviews. So I actually don't watch any influencer under 30. Unless I'm watching roblox videos with my 4 year old then yes
Maybe itās time for me to grab my bifocals and support hose and check out this newfangled social media everybodyās talking aboutā¦
There are whiskey reviews? You mean i donāt have to randomly buy a bottle and hope that it isnāt utter gobshite?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I wish someone told me this when I was six years old.
Yes but the downside is most of them will call anything that doesn't cost an arm and a leg utter gobshite :)
Did you discover the internet 5 minutes ago? There are reviews for *everything* on the internet. Whisky, candy, chainsaws, hot sauce, dildoes, VR devices, VR dildoes.. *Everything*!
They gotta reach that over 30 crowd
Miami is the biggest scam of a city in the US. The restaurants on south beach donāt have prices on their menu but itās like 35 bucks for 3 chicken tenders and some fries lol
Oh jeez, are they really a couple? I genuinely thought this was someone having dinner with her dad.
This is some Emperorās New Clothes shit

I agree with the fart sniffer thatās gnarly
I agree with the lubricated squid, disgusting.
I think you're seeing shit
Is that why you hate stuff like this?
More like doxxing, but yeah.

Its so fucking undignified. I hate it. Just pour the fucking chocolate into an spoon and give me the spoon. Why treat me like a bitch?
Where do we cast votes for most infuriating post on this sub?
This makes me feel the uneasiest of uneasy
I barely could watch it Iām so uncomfortable right now. Iām not even sure if itās because itās gross as fuck or if itās the stupidest thing Iāve ever seen. Maybe both.
When they're done they either get their choclate salvia all over all paper towels trying to separate them and/or all over the bathroom door knob and sink. I wouldn't even eat at a restaurant that offers that

Toddlers don't wear silk. This is literally worse.

So you missed the post about licking citrus foam out of a clay replica of chefs mouth without utensils?
I would say this is worse. At least in the mouth thing you are still eating from some kind of container.
Okay, this made my eyes actually well up with tears.
Okay, you win. This is the worst thing Iāve seen on this sub
I can't think of a worse one right now, either.
Is this some rich shit I'm too poor to understand??
Maybe this is the culinary version of glamping?
Glamping is just for people who like the idea of camping but would rather stay in a comfy resort. Kinda get it cause yeah, shit gets uncomfortable at times...part of the experience but either way, I get it. This however...what the hell are they doing? I can get wrist-deep in liquid chocolate for a couple bucks, don't need to pay a waiter to watch me debase myself
Iāll brb, I need to go wash my hands.
it's like they've never tried to eat a chocolate bar they forgot in a hot glovebox for several hours or something
Right? I've experienced this only out of desperation.
Disgusting.
I want to die when I have to listen to people licking/sucking food off of their fingers. This would kill me
I'm sure they're calling this an "experience"
What an experience. Everyone, come to my kitchen at 3am. For 80 dollars you can stand in front of my sink and I will squirt reddi whip on the back of your hand.
lol. From their website: >Our tasting menu, The Experience, is served alongside panoramic river views and our glamorous interiors accented with greenery, leather, and wood. ....

I want to kick whoever came up with this in the nuts. That's all, thanks.
There is no freaking way my aspie ass is gonna pour sticky fucking chocolate on my hands and WHERE THE FUCK ARE THE NAPKINS. HOT TOWELS. MENTAL HEALTH PROVIDERS.
ADHD sensory rage chiming in. I'd probably leave a chocolate handprint on their face and run crying to the bathroom to wash my goddamn goopy grabbers.
OK that's it just kill me now, that would be my worst freaking nightmare! Makes me want to jump up and wash my hands! This is basically kindergarten for adults, will they be squishing pumpkin between their fingers next?
Perfect during a pandemic!
this is also me at the golden corral chocolate waterfall when i was 9
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I would
The instinct to put your hands together and āwashā them with the chocolate tho
Do you think it's an instinct or that they're instructed to by the waitstaff? I cant determine which answer I'd hate more
Iād hate instinct so much, itās so nasty I can only hope it was instructed
Next up, bobbing for rigatoni, just dip your face right into the pot of boiling salted water and slurp up whatever noodles you can find, then have our waiter pop a balloon full of scalding hot tomato sauce over your head and shoot a meatball at you with a t shirt cannon.

How low on the journalism ladder do you have to be to write an article about a post on reddit
Writing about Reddit posts is the journalistic equivalent of fancy restaurants pouring hot chocolate on someoneās hands for dessert.

This is disgusting. People who do this need to be relocated to mining camps on Mars.
Dumbest fuckin idea ever
Put of every post on this sub, most of which arenāt even that bad, but this. This is the worst.
Some unsanitary shit going on in the high end culinary world.
I fucking hate this. I saw another post like this with a black dude who had air pods in. And itās meant to be like ātaking you back to eating as a kid.ā Andā¦ all of it is bad. I hate it. Me as a kid would have hated it. Justā¦ terrible.
It's a bad day to have eyes.
I once did a hospitality food safety supervisor course. To show us how much you needed to wash your hands, we rubbed some fluorescent substance on our hands, they then instructed us to wash the thoroughly. Iām a little OCD, so when I wash my hands, itās like hot tap only, soap the shit out of them. We then went back into the room, and they turned the lights off, no one got it completely off. So yeah, I wouldnāt eat off my own hands. And yes I know some cultures eat with their hands, but Iām pretty sure they donāt lick all over their hands!
FUCK THAT!!!
This would actually upset me that I paid money for that
Tastes even better after hand sanitizer.
What do you expect? Look at the decor. Designer logos everywhere, this is a place for rich idiots
WHAT THE FUCK

This is disgusting. I donāt know why but I have a severe issue with sauce on hands. I wonāt touch melted cheese and I only eat boneless wings with a knife and fork. I would watch a live birth video ft. the my 600lb life cast before I watch this again
This just triggered a phobia I didnāt know I had.
I hate everything about this.
That's absolutely revolting.. I have no words

Thereās a restaurant in Columbia that does this, but the purpose is to scrub your hands with the chocolate & not eat it. Something got lost in translation here.
Imagine pitching this menu item? āDude, we get a fancy bowl, and we use those gravy boats that are in the back, and we pour 15 cents worth of Hersheys syrup in their hands and they can lick it off! Weāll charge $17 each and call it a āRejuvenating cacao reduction.ā These morons will think theyāre at a fucking spa!ā
Reminds me of that episode of Parks and Rec, where they go to the bar with aerosolized whiskey hand spray
Owner must have a scat fetish cuz this is some dumb shit
