We Want Plates crusades against serving food on bits of wood and roof tiles, chips in mugs and drinks in jam jars.

A Few House Rules

I. Above all, please be civil. This means no personal insults or attacks. You will get one warning only.

II. If posting an image from an external site you must link to that site, and give credit to said site, in your thread title. This includes Twitter, in which case you should also include the original poster's Twitter handle.

III. Submissions must be dishes which were served at a place of business. They needn't have been served to you, but if they were please include the name and location of the establishment.

IV. The purpose of this sub is to showcase cringe-worthy examples of plating. Please bear this in mind when submitting content. There is no need to submit burgers on boards, sushi on sushi boats or traditional types of plating from other cultures.


Things that you found interesting but that may not necessarily fit the We Want Plates mantra of "this should really be on a plate" are allowed. These posts are moderated on a post-by-post basis. Mod decisions are final.


This sub is inspired by the original We Want Plates movement. You can follow them here:

It arrived in a chocolate bowl, which was promptly smashed on the table

At least there’s a sanitary film covering the table

Tasty bacon ‘n Gruyère on Slate

The pastry was good enough. Too flaky for the delivery substrate though

Pot on Plate

Only reason the plate is there was because the pot was hot to the touch. Delicious lasagna

I know that there are technically plates, but can we just agree this counts?

Chicken Parm on a Plank

The classic Chicken Parm served the way "Nonna" always intended—on a Home Depot cutting board, with a side of splinters for that authentic rustic flair.
