I imagine I'm shooting the food with a shotgun and I try to replicate what the mess might look like.

feng shui

The components of a dish seem to make it obvious how something should be presented, I don't give it much thought.

I try to avoid trendy shit like smears and dots most of the time. It can look nice on a plate that has one course of a seven course meal so there's plenty of space, but most of the time it comes out as tryhard and cluttered, like in that pic where the thought seems to be: 1 smear gud, 7 more better!

He started out so poorly. But if Marcus says his food is a 10, who am I to argue. Marcus is a top boy chef.

>pretentious "chefs" expect you to feel full and satisfied with this and pay 100+ dollars plus tip on it

plating is easy most of the time. that pic you posted is pretty good, i couldnt think of that. i say its the food that inspires someone to make a plating unique.

Just imagine that you're taking a really bad diarrhea shit

I'm a cook not a chef so I cook my food and throw it on the plate.

No, fat tits. You're there to taste and experience, not gorge. Stay at the Golden Corral next time
