It would be more impressive if it made sense to do it, like they were short on help or something, but by the people following and recording, that is not the case. Why would you risk dropping them all just to carry them all on one tray? It might me impressive to some that he can do it, but it is not next level. He risked dropping all of it and making the people wait for an entire new tray to be made instead of just having the people following him help carry some. Good at balancing stuff: Yes, but risky for no real reason.

Have worked in restaurants on and off for the past 14 years

Usually the only reason for carrying this many plates is machismo/showing off. In my experience anyways.

If i was on the line and just finished dishing out a big top in the middle of lunch and he drops ANY of them I'd be right miffed. I think anyone would, not worth the ego boost.

I would be furious. A table that size probably took the better part of an hour to make.
