What did you eat last night for dinner?

Also he complained about getting served poor tomatoes months out of season.

I thought this is the very thing he did, and then matt unhinged his jaw python-style and showed him waht's up.

I saw a few ingredients sitting next to each other in the store...and I knew what I had to do.

I know it needs more color and maybe some scoring to be a real homage....but I've never used a real artichoke before (or had fresh figs for that matter).

Also, I have accomplished some jacked up looking saturation and color curves...but not the same ones produced by mm's shots

That looks like a nice fig.

otc, if you are going to do dots like that, you should always use an odd number. I cannot tell you why this is so, but the frogs insist that it must be so.

I don't doubt that it exists. I just doubt that it works.

Like, really:

CRAB CROQUETAS
JICAMA, MANGO, GREEN APPLE AND MIRIN INFUSED SLAW, ROASTED RED PEPPER RÉMOULADE,
CHILI PONZU DIPPING SAUCE


PAN SEARED AHI TUNA
SERVED RARE WITH CRUNCHY WASABI MASHED POTATOES AND CILANTRO CHIMICHURRI SAUCE


I'll also make note of the fact that wasabi mashed potatoes are the impetus for me starting the "things that ar epissing you off food edition" thread.

Yeah, it was basically a bust creatively, but the food was still fairly decent. I mean, you really can't "spanish up" tartare too much and adding some wonton's and a chili dressing doesn't make a beef carpacio salad "thai". But this is SoBe and people pay for that ****.

That looks like a nice fig.

does it?

not being familiar with figs, I thought it was only ok. I had one that was definitely not ripe, but the other 2 or 3 I ate were fine but I just don't think I like figs very much.

Now I have a whole little box of the damn things.

This never happened. Also, I never confused "Prime" beef with prime rib while I was in school. Never.

I agree, but not just with dots. Try to present things in groups of three or five, and not only with food. It just looks better, in my opinion.

This seems such an odd standard to uphold. Is it like this with other plate "art" as well? I.e. 3 slices of mushroom garnish instead of 4?

Yes. Odd numbers are more appealing to the eye than even, typically.

Is that why you only have one ball?

 

[dfagdfsh]

better than 3

I actually had three but I gave two to charity.

 

[dfagdfsh]

please. as if there's people who would accept 2 of your shrunken, desiccated, shrub like testicles.

 

[kwilkinson]

My testicle is actually really large. But that's a DT comment and not a SLF&DT comment.
