Be Italian

Why do Americans do this?

>muh heritage

I prefer my pasta served in a sandal, and it must be deconstructed, cost 40 dollars per serving and have a required tip of at least 40% for the college kid serving the dish to pad his patrion.

Americans. Stop. Doing. This.

Crab boils are awesome, but that's the lowest common denominator way to go about it (also awesome if you happen to be in the middle of nowhere or a huge outdoor event and do not give a fuck). A restaurant doing it like that is like the BBQ places that spend a lot on atmosphere while keeping mason jars as glassware to make it seem more authentic. It comes off as campy.

I don't understand why anyone would want to eat like this.. are you supposed to drag a portion to the edge and eat it or are you supposed to try and balance a fork full of pasta and sauce from the middle.

I can accept this, shellfish is messy to eat regardless and you aren't going to be sticking your saliva covered fork into shared food.

Because the USA is degenerate

You're supposed to grab a handful of spaghetti and shove it in your fat face

how do i eat it if my face isn't fat?

You don't, the American next to you eats you instead.

>no shared trough for the butter
They fucked up.

Putting a tray under it would have been bad because ?

can that shit even be considered sanitary?

I can see a pate there. Absolutely unacceptable.

Whiny bitches

Not much else to say /i see plates feel free to use them kek

>be American
>visit Italy
>nobody works
>the women are hairy
>the guys all hate fags but still blow each other on weekends
>everyone smells bad
>streets all look like this
Mamma mia Italy?

>silly ass "plating" stunts are America's fault

That's some sissy pansy-ass euroshit and you know it. I can smell the French talent for pretentiousness wafting off of it, sort of a garlicky skunky smell.

Hahahahah
The face of the guy in the blue shirt in the last picture is hilarious! You can see he is all like "WTF, are you kidding me?!?" inside.

>this is what flyovers ACTUALLY believe
The idea that quantity = quality is a distinctly American notion. In particular, it is the #1 iron law of food within the culture void between the Diablo Range and the Hudson River. All other notions of enjoyment are derived from the quantity principle

>restaurant uses gimmick I disagree with
>should I not go to the restaurant and move on
>or should I pretend I went to this restaurant and use them to farm (You)s, giving them some of the publicity and notoriety they crave
Hmmmmmmm...

>I've never actually left the NY/NJ area besides going to DC a couple of times but I feel completely entitled to judge it based on some leftist bubble-world horseshit I read in The Atlantic and/or Vox about how Dem Murricans are lolfat

Okay honey, I know your tampon is just dripping with the blood of white men's severed penises but we were having a conversation about plating. No matter how much food there is I think we can agree it should, at the very least, be on an actual plate? But you're right in one way, I was mocking the impracticality of excessively artistic plating in that it's something only a leftist queer with 37 genders would bother with.

Do you, like, eat? Do you get your 2,000 calories a day from photosynthesis or something? Here, you can eat one of your plant friends, this dish is probably called Twigs with Flowers and Unidentifiable Debris.

I lived in the midwest for 6 years, but thank you for your delicious butthurt. It's the main reason why I love shitting on flyover food '''''culture'''''

>responding to a post about spectacle plating
>NUH UH! AMERICANS EAT TOO MUCH!

This is false.

>european hipster restaurants
>innovative combinations, local food, michelin stars

>american hipster restaurants
>"it's a pile of food but instead of plates, it's slapped on the middle of the table!"

...

Yeah, I don't know what it is, but Europeans have no sense of personal hygiene. Everybody fucking reeks.

Did the fugg?

Not even true.
Everyone in my country at least showers once every day or every other day. They always put on deodorant.
Your people literally shits themselves while shopping and don't even notice.

>that image
Why do people still flock to AnCap when shit like this proves the 'free market' is a myth?

>showering every other day
>bragging about this
LMAO

Well it's not as hot in your shit country as it is in the north

I'll believe that when I see it.

Heat doesn't mater. You're still dirty after 24 hours of no shower, let alone 48, thanks to skin shedding and your metabolism alone.

It didn't use to matter until global warming :')

keep your dirty ass out of my country

Don't worry, I'd never dream of going the land of the filth

this is unironically true. midwest people complain about portion size everywhere they go that isn't a denny's

also most of the point being after everything's eaten you can just fold up and throw away the table liner, no mess, no sorting through shells and plates and corn cobbs, Again, this is usually a summertime dinner gathering type deal.

Fat fucks in general are like that, it's not just a midwest thing.

>sauce and pasta separate

Italian-American food is an abomination

>grown men and women wearing bibs because they can't eat
HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAH AMERICAAAAAAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHA

All auto manufacturers and banks paid back their bailouts with interest. It was unironically a good policy decision.

Shower at night only wash my hair every other day master race

Why do Americans keep serving food on the table? Are they no longer white enough to use plates?

Italy doesn't have ice.

I want to put my sauce in her spaghetti

>I'm a retard
Yes, yes you are. If you keep pretending that ragu and bolognese are never separate, maybe one day it will come true.

What fucking hipster restaurants have michelin stars

That is some get up from the table and leave tier shit right there.

more for me, loser

While they're at it, why done they just drop it all on the floor so you can feed in the way you're accustomed to?

>third world country
>not the lank of filth
wew lad

The one I eat my lunches at, has Michelin tires. Or is it Dunlop?

>One restaurant has a gimmick
>Consider it to be reflective of every American restaurant

Fucking idiot.

typical europoor

>do you, like, eat?

You talk like a 16 year old bimbo. Just fucking Neck yourself you homo.

>honey
Stopped there

>go to america
>visit traditional american spaghetti restaurant
>the waiter feeds me by hand

is this normal?

why do americans always put sauce on top of pasta instead of mixing them together in a pan like you should do?

they are all wearing bibs which leaves me to believe this is one of those baby role play fetish things

pasketti make baby messy!!

I'm actually from California, I have eaten your overpriced michelin star crap in San Fagsisco plenty of times and I want you to admit to yourself that it's conspicuous consumption. It's a place to be SEEN in, something to be SEEN doing - that much is clear.

Oh and I drive a T-Bird when I'm not in my work truck. You city boys keep being terrified of bees so I can buy more redneck toys while you get eyeballed by the backstabbers at your office job. Dear Hipster Santa, I have been a good redneck this year so please bring me a boat.

Yep. Jealousy again, we don't eat too much, we just have more food than everyone else.

Indeed, Europhiles are the worst.

I have never seen anyone complain about portion size being too small but hear complaints about it being too big almost every time I go out to eat. It's definitely a marketing thing, nobody really eats like this at home unless they're a hamplanet. I guess you could gripe that Americans waste the most food because it's almost certainly true.

Ah I see what's wrong now, you guys think it's socially acceptable to go inside of a Walmart. It's not and besides most of the shitblobs in there are leftists/niggers on food stamps. If you see a sign on a store that says "WE ACCEPT EBT" just turn around, leave the creepy leftist-run ghetto where they don't punish non-whites for crimes that you're standing in and go back to a safe neighborhood.

I would have the exact same face if I was paying for high buck dishes and some fucker started to throw the food on the table

this is an italian restaurant idiot. it's in Rome

ilveroalfredo.it/en/celebrities/

but I wanna have fun

>the most driving a woman should ever be allowed to do

Madison has a huge variety of amazing restaurants, multiple city-wide culinary events, food truck festivals, cheese tastings out the ass, and more beer everywhere than I've seen anywhere besides MAYBE Brussels.

except this is based

you sound absolutely insufferable

you're like that hillbilly from Utica who has a hissy fit at anyone who says "new york" and means the city (in other words, everyone)

Amerifats have to wear bibs when eating.

>I'm With Her

okay

Personally I'm in favor of a two-state solution.

>eurocooks must confine their food like they are confined by socialism

i've been to one of these with an ex gf and her family.

they ordered a whole variety of stuff including a shit ton of crayfish. was bretty gud but eating it as an adult for the first time i wasnt too impressed.
