In the age of Instagrammable dining, restaurants have taken food presentation to a whole new (and often bizarre) level. Enter r/WeWantPlates, a subreddit dedicated to calling out eateries that serve food on anything but a proper plate.
From burgers on shovels to nachos in dog bowls, these creative (or just plain confusing) choices are sure to make you question if we’ve gone too far in the name of aesthetics.
