it is vegan, though

They couldn't even find some other salad or veg items to go with it? Or some bread or rice or pasta and make a quick rice salad or pasta salad when making all the other options!? People panic when they hear the word vegan (not as much thankfully anymore in the UK at least, last night I had a wonderful vegan meal in a pub that the rest of my family had meat/ fish options- banana blossom 'fish' and chips, and waffle with caramelised banana and raspberry ice cream. Amazing and creative!)

That looks like a vegan option from a kitchen that doesn't have a vegan option. And also maybe PETA stole the chef's dog and he's still salty about it.

Not even a dressing? Or something to add color like a roasted beet?

As long as there's dressing too, I'm good.

This is an insult to every decent catering company. Having worked for many years in restaurants and catering halls, I know how easy it is to fix a veggie/vegan meal fast (in case no notice was given). Take that lettuce add some raw veggies and a handful of canned beans, fast, simple vinaigrette ... boom! Beautiful plate, and appreciative client. How hard is that?

Unless it houses a bug, of course

I requested a vegetarian lunch on a flight once, I got a slice of white bread, and a banana.

Tell me you don't have a single vegan dish on the menu without words

ohmyGOD

If it’s a conference (even though it’s a joke clearly) then management or whoever organised it didn’t even mention it’s vegan employees, so it’s on the workplace not the caterers on that one 😝

Shame on them for serving that as high end

Iceberg lettuce is typically served with blue cheese dressing and sprinkled with diced bacon. Vegans won't eat that, so the only logical choice is just a plain quarter head of lettuce.

They should start a bring-your-own-lettuce rule.

“Excuse me, my salad appears to be missing…salad.”

We had sweets that looked like pebbles when I was a kid. You could eat them all though. No real pebbles in the bag.

For those of you wondering what those foods are, OP says: Something, Pea Soup, scallop n bread, 1/7th of a cauliflower, some sort of meat, a light (I believe) lemon dessert, and a special chocolate cake dessert for our anniversary. It was incredible.

So, roasted colon and brick cheese with fried worms then

What fresh hell is this?

Yes, you literally have to eat it off your hands and it costs a ridiculous amounth.

Do you get to keep the hat???

So they just plop the food onto the dirt?

I was distracted by the $650 bourbon on the menu.

Is that a Pringle?

No drinking while on duty chef.

Well it was free after all

I think I can be a fancy chef

I’d send it back and walk out.

To torture the minimum wage workers who have to make them

Am I supposed to lick the plate?

Amuse bouche. Meant to be bite size.

Hey, I do that with peeps at Easter.

Seeing a lot of rocks here. My back yard must be very chic.

Chef Grant Achatz makes beautiful food and portions looks decent. This one seems ok and very creative.

What’s the obsession with rocks at these places, Possibly the local dentist pays them to do it?

so *thats* where my trowel disappeared to! 😂

If there are 44 courses these portion sizes are correct.

Extra cheese 🤢

Better for the diner’s experience and the planet if they just used glass.

paradise for doggos - or are the bones coated with epoxy?

Those croquettes look delicious though

Some very beautiful, others not so much.

Chef in back- Nailed it.
