That’s Great, But Can I Get My Food On, You Know, An Actual Plate? (42 Pics)

Restaurants are opening back up and you know what that means…

Food on hubcaps. On reclaimed wood. In the skulls your enemies. Anything to be an edgy, tattooed chef.

Look, we want plates. Go nuts with the food, but serve it on a ceramic dish. Your burger isn’t going to be any better because you shot it out of a t-shirt cannon at me.

K.I.S.S. Keep it simple, stupid.


1. First patio since COVID and this is what I get. I told the owner I was going to post on this sub and he said he would bring me the sandwich on a plate next time if this post blows up.
