I don't think it's designed to taste like much of anything. I was a weird kid and tried a few kinds of cat kibble, dog kibble, and milkbone. It all pretty much taste like gritty grains.

I tried nutria (20 lb swamp rat) jerky designed for dogs, and it was similar in that it was too gritty for me. This may not be the actual jerky, but close enough.

Not all restaurateurs are as grateful for the attention, though. “Absolutely couldn’t give a gently caress about We Want Plates,” tweeted Great British Menu contestant Michael O’Hare in response to a follower’s suggestion that serving langoustine tartare inside a giant plastic egg may have left him off McGinnes’s Christmas-card list. Michelin-starred chef Andrew Pern complained about “the sad We Want Plates muppets who need to get a life (or a slate)” – perhaps not surprising, given their comments on his policy of serving bread rolls inside a flat cap. And when we contacted Seth Levine, the executive chef of Hotel Chantelle who likes to dangle mini slivers of jamon from a washing line, he was unfazed by the fact that he’d recently been mocked by Evening Standard food critic Grace Dent – while heavily name-checking We Want Plates. “I’d never in a million years even contemplate changing my style because there’s a small group of people who want to eat off a white china plate,” he says. “It’s fun to upgrade dishes a bit. I ate in a restaurant the other night where something was served to me on burning wood and I thought it was incredible.”

The biggest problem with not serving food on plates is that what they choose is unhygienic and impractical.

Like you are given your food on a flat slate with some sauce. The sauce is going to go everywhere, good luck cleaning that poo poo up.

"Giant plastic egg" man can gently caress off.

The max pretension guys are probably doing $500 prix fix services and buy enough of their gimmick stuff for exactly how many seats there are that season so they use it once and throw it out.

Its the copy cats who are trying to run normal restaurant service with gimmick dishes where they are usually getting bitched at by the inspectors.

Chilis is the first big chain I've seen this at.

They just stared serving a lot of things on these dumb metal trays.

A metal tray isn't necessarily a terrible plate, but the rim has holes all in it so sauces and poo poo can go right through. They also put a piece of parchment paper on it before the food so heaven forbid you use a knife at all you are cutting up paper.


It's really dumb.

And based on your description, you're using a knife on a metal surface. So after your knife has been endlessly dulled after how many services of that, you're trying to not slash up parchment paper as you cut your food. Brilliant.

100% accurate except of course they were poo poo knives to begin with, so no dulling required. Also, steel repeatedly scratching into aluminum will have no health effects whatsoever, I'm sure.

Chow Mein sandwich! It's huge in New Bedford and Fall River (southwestern Massachusetts, on the Rhode Island border). My own theory is that it was created on a ship with a Chinese cook and lots of Portuguese sailors.

Don't eat it, it's just a big pile of salt and starch. Or eat it, if you like big piles of salt and starch. Wash it down with some coffee milk or a Gansett.
