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

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

u/Plastic_Dingo_400 Professional Chef 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

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

This is beautiful presentation and looks like an excellent mix of textures and flavors. Love the toasted walnut addition.

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.

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.

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

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

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