There’s a reason ad agencies spend so much money on the right cameras and lighting when showing food. There’s a bunch of little tricks they use to make the food look appetizing.
As a sane human and someone who actually eats food to live and stopped playing with it at age six, VERY disappointing. fuck those artsy fartsy sauce dribbles and keep the potato chips coming.
as an experienced student studying this kind of stuff I know what the fuck I talking about. I’m sure it taste awesome but still it needs more work. I see a couple improvements that can be made.
Alright, also a chef here, trying to be constructive:
Coq au vin is a hard dish to make pretty, but a bowl of brown isn’t very appealing. I hate chefs who throw parsley on everything but a little green wouldn’t hurt, consider some tourneed carrots, and I like to serve it over a lightly colored starch (it’s a sauce, not a soup).
Nice sear on your nicoise, I’d personally but the garnish around the stew but that’s a personal taste thing, instead of rough cut greens on the beet salad, consider something like fine brunoise sized carrot, red pepper, etc. As for the canapes, I was surprised the bread didn’t look toasted as that’s color, flavor and texture. I presume that’s tapenade underneath but Provence is also known for it’s bright colors
Those were made in the course of 4 hours, and the last one actually is a joke (repetition of a silly name), its the leftover from our previous 8 weeks. Also they weren’t plated for service as we don’t have those plates in the lab. Pics also taken with shitty cellphone camera, so the top one actually is purplish brown rather than brown. If you want I can post the actual plates we serve at the restaurant and not the lab work.
So you just shat on a plate?
I’m sure they taste great but i think your head chef needs to dress this better to make it more appealing.
This.
The second one looks good, but the rest aren’t aesthetically pleasing.
I am also sure they taste better than anything I’ve eaten in a long time.
Stop dining at gloryholes asswipe.

True. Starting from white balance.
Are those the actual meals or just the leftovers? ‘Cos I’ve seen dwarf hamsters eat more than that…
plating needs some work bud.. mabey?
as a chef and someone who actually knows what the fuck he is talking about:
nice work, VERY nice work. fuck the naysayers and keep going.

fair enough

I’m calling shenanigans. Just because you cook, doesn’t make you a chef.
I’m hungry now.
Keep studying, you`re not there yet.

2nd the comments on the Coq au vin.
Pearl onions and tiny little potatoes go underneath and around and lose about 80% of the sauce.
bowl 1 looks like diahrrea
plate 2 looks damn raw
plate 3 looks like puke
plate 4 looks like bird shit
plate 5 again.. raw.
I don’t cook professionally, but I know what I like to eat
Most of that does not look like food to me.
Maybe you can get $50+/plate for that someplace, but not from me
Looks good, but can you dish up a cheese steak please?
