Yeah even a deconstructivist restaurant won't give you whole gloves of raw garlic or a separate bowl with a whole lime and then another one with a quartered lime.

Dude, I'm on the West coast. There's not a whole lot of stupid hipster stuff I don't think people will do. Speaking of, use the whole damned plate and put the sauce *on* the food. Giving me a giant plate with two bites of food is not a meal.

I went to a "hot stone" restaurant once, where they bring you a plate of raw steak or chicken and a big slab of granite that has been heated to oven temperature, and you cook the meat yourself at the table on the hot rock. It was actually quite fun and novel, the one time, but I'm sure that sort of thing wouldn't last very long because there would so many people managing to poison themselves with badly-cooked meat.

Eh, most food poisoning is from cross-contamination rather than badly-cooked meat someone does themselves. Okay, trends-- have we talked about bacon everything yet? Yeah bacon is great but it doesn't need to be in every meal plus dessert. Also, gently caress ultra-expensive "artisan" beers.

Also, gently caress ultra-expensive "artisan" beers. Craft beers can be nice but some of them are woeful and the price difference between them and the established brands is a kick in the teeth. There's a certain greediness disguised behind their "artisinal" façade of many hipster brewers. Recently an up and coming craft brewery ran a kickstarter to fund it's expansion. Never mind that they are well established and could raise the money through standard financial methods. They went through crowd-funding whereby a €5 gets you a thank you message, €25 gets you a crappy bottle-opener, €100 gets a t-shirt and €500 gets a vat in the brewery named after you, for all that would entail. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1706233908/rye-river-brewing-company

The worst part about all of these stupid faux fancy restaurants is that they have driven the cost of dining out through the roof. I kind of dread going out to dinner and drinks with friends anymore because it's hard not to spend like $75 a person for some mediocre pretentious food and cocktails or craft beers. I'm honestly a better cook than half of these try hards charging $20 for a burger I have to eat with a fork, that comes with no sides. I just leave feeling so ripped off. But oh hey dave's girlfriend says this place is great and that's where we are meeting so I guess I get to get fleeced for some forgettable meal.

I don't think it's "hipster" but the trend of the past year of individually wrapping produce really bothers me. These aren't loose small things either where it might be a bit annoying to handle. I mean things like how I can't get a red bell pepper that isn't individually cellophane wrapped. peter gabriel posted:Heston Blumenthal is clever but he is the king of this poo poo So often these are neat tricks but taste awful.

I got into an outstanding internet fight with this woman who insisted that this sort of packaging was essential for "accessibility reasons". I pointed out that, from an accessibility standpoint, someone who has issues with opening orange peels wouldn't fare better with a clamshell package, it's probably not intended for a disabled audience, and that if you wanted to be accessible AND stop being a wasteful gently caress, you could sell peeled oranges in soft biodegradable plastic wrapping that is easy to open, like Sun-chip bags. She did not reply. Oh, well. But seriously, if you buy poo poo like this, you are bourgeoisie scum.

cash crab posted:I got into an outstanding internet fight with this woman who insisted that this sort of packaging was essential for "accessibility reasons". I've run into people making this argument before... about infomercials. (For that, the line is, "Those products are really designed for disabled people! Omg how dare you question the noble Slap Chop" or whatever.) It's the weirdest loving thing, and I can't track it back to any actual facts at all. The closest I got was an unsourced tumblr post. Thankfully it's not common, but every now and again I run across someone trying to one-up their opponent by claiming that "[product X] is intended for the disabled, you hateful bigot". And the people making that argument are rarely disabled themselves.

LITERALLY A BIRD posted:I would eat the heck out if this if it weren't for the fact it probably cost like forty dollars. Ted Allen isn't joking when he says that a huge amount of fancy food is how well you can plate it. Considering that's like ~6 dollars of produce at best, very little prep work and a tiny bit of cheese and I bet people willingly pay 25-50 dollars for it. It looks pretty as hell tho.

Omg how dare you question the noble Slap Chop" or whatever.) Yeah, 0.01% of products are earnestly aimed at disabled people. Like, Snuggies are really helpful for people using wheelchairs, but it wasn't aimed at them. I promise you that prepeeled oranges weren't aimed at people with joint issues because I have joint issues and a clamshell package is actually annoying if your fingers hurt all the time. An orange, on the other hand, is easy to open when you have lovely fingers.

NESguerilla posted:Doesn't the oil from the butter just float to the top? it sounds really disgusting. I've heard of people putting eggs in coffee lately too which sounds even worse. Yeah it does.   I've never tried it since I'm not big on butter, but I've heard it gives the coffee a nice rich taste. Also this is like stuff old people do. The only people I've seen drinking butter coffee are old folks. And my granddad used to give his kids milo with raw egg in them.

Bonster posted:I keep looking at these not-plates and wondering how the hell they can be sanitized. The clipboard would have to be pitched after one use, and I can't imagine the matryoshka doll surviving a good hot water wash. Shoes are definitely not made to be washed. How do you clean them for the next customer? To be fair, Id imagine things like the shoes are used to hold bottles or glasses, or are heavily lined with paper or something for things like fries. So in the end nothing really touches the shoe itself. Granted the clipboards and tennis rackets are just disgusting and shouldn't be used more than once, or ever. Granted this is also wishful thinking on my part regarding the sneakers
