45 Times Restaurants Served Their Food on Anything But Plates

By now, we have seen dozens of variations on chefs trying to show that they are creative by serving food on anything but a plate. From gardening equipment to children’s toys to sporting goods, it seems like literally everything has already been done. So what is the truly creative chef to do to show how creative he is?

Try this idea on for size: perhaps the most creative not-a-plate… is no plate at all! What if you just slopped a pile of spaghetti in the middle of the table, and everyone slid the food they wanted towards them? I bet the diners at your restaurant will never have seen that before! I bet they’ll look at it and think, “Wow, what a mess, I’m never eating here again.”
