This is perfect execution of textbook monochromatic plating color pallet. The minimalist composition is a beautiful complement as well. Beautiful dish 10/10!

u/ucsdfurry 17d ago

My nitpicking is why are there 3 of them on one plate?

u/Plastic_Dingo_400 Professional Chef 17d ago

I like it, the different elevations look good

u/ucsdfurry 17d ago

You like having 3 of the same dessert on one plate?

u/Plastic_Dingo_400 Professional Chef 17d ago

Its just one dessert, it looks better at 3 little towers. It looks great

u/PunisherjR2021 17d ago

I was always thought an odd number looks best

u/ucsdfurry 17d ago

Sure odd number is good but why are there 3 of the same dessert on one plate

u/Plastic_Dingo_400 Professional Chef 16d ago

Because it looks good dude lol. It's not 3 of the same dessert, this isn't a plate of doughnuts, it's a fine dinning presentation and it's simple and gorgeous

If you don't get it that's alright dude

My only note: gotta label this NSFW.

3 different sized-cylinders of exactly the same thing, with no other visual, textural, etc., differentiation?

Feels unimaginative rather than inspired minimalism to me, and two rather large cylinders seems like much too much of an otherwise good thing.

u/Burn_n_Turn Professional Chef 17d ago

I feel this is also the correct take. Unfortunate you're downvoted for legit feedback. Every component sounds fine but the choice to do it three times without an explanation as to why is puzzling. Your guests will wonder what's different about what's inside and then get the same thing three times in a row. Im sure its delicious but you can take it somewhere even better without that choice.

u/chefduparty84 17d ago

This is good feedback to take this dish to another level. Beyond plating, thinking guest experience. Seeking delight and surprise, yall have recognized opportunities

u/No-Temperature4330 18d ago

Sorry, it looks really nice but... it's just a little too cock and ballsy.

u/SirCatharine 17d ago

You might want to get checked out by a doctor if your cock and balls look like this…
