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:

Chicken breast on a hot plate
Got served this delight in Ulm Germany today. An unseasoned raw thick chicken breast served on a hot "rock" only given one set of cutlery so when you attempt to cook it you have raw chicken juice all over your utensils. To make it worse the rock wasnt hot enough to cook it through and the bottom rock was cold so that just stayed covered in goop. When complained chef came and said it wasn't a chicken that had salmonella.
First meal in my life I have refused to pay for. Shocking really...

Great idea: Curry in a rolling pin
Key question… wouldn’t it just roll away?

Staircase pizza, because serving it on a tray makes no sense.
