Need to make something awesome Saturday

[Manton]

That is, it has to look awesome. The philistines for whom I am cooking are not able to taste sawdust from foie so I don't care about that as much. But they think they are great connoisseurs, when in fact they are merely aesthetes obsessed with plating. Would like to stun them with surface brilliance while I silently laugh at them on the inside.

Halp.

This kind of people are far too common these days. Along with Asian girls who bring DSLRs to dinner tables.
