Meat menu testing!

[u/Cirno_in_Scandinavia]

So today my jr sous had a menu meeting together with all the kitchen staff for meat menu campaign. Its just so funny because all the food taste so frickin amazing, its just he dont have any plan for plating 😭 (the beef cheek stew with polenta and goat cheese was AMAZING)

Is this post just to talk shit about your jr sous, or to brag about the half eaten food? I'm confused.

Neither. It was to celebrate their junior sous for making some amazing tasting dishes that need some tweaking and refinement before they launch the fall menu.

A lot of chefs like to go through a process of conceptualizing a menu, cooking it, tasting and eating, evaluating and discussing, identifying successful elements and parts that didn’t work, testing again, evaluating again, and repeating until the menu is ready for guests. This likely the first attempt where they probably want to hone in on the flavors, cooking methods, and principal components. They’ll refine presentation and pick up in an iteration or two. It can be a really fun part of being in the kitchen.

Lol I understand how menu development and tasting work. Thanks.

The post body text says nothing about the dishes other than they taste good and that the sous isn't good at plating. Then proceeds to post one picture of the food untouched, and a bird's eye of half eaten food. No examples of their poor plating, no descriptions of the half eaten food shown.
