I had a cheat meal yesterday and went harder than i should have…
Yes, I ate all of this myself. Plating is terrible but this is the type of stuff i want to see all the time…
Palate>Plating, change my mind

11 out of 10. Chef approved.
Plating is like bodybuilding, palate is like powerlifting.
Edit: Your photo and presentation is great - you made me want that for breakfast.

That is a thing of beauty and one of the healthiest “cheat meals” I’ve ever seen. Well played, my friend. Well played.

A sammich I lovingly call “The Big Deg”.
93/7 ground beef, 3 slices of the big pepperoni, 2 slices of provolone. Pepperoni crisped up with the burger, then stacked on top for the cheese melt.
Bread is Cellone’s, a local favorite, with a couple teaspoons of tomato sauce, & a little basil.

Happy Birthday to me! Okay, I just wanted the cake and the sammich. Goodness knows we can’t skip those black eyed peas on New Years Day

This all looks wonderful! I do have to admit that I’m having a hard time figuring out how the gougere and the espresso mousse work together, though each on their own sounds lovely. I’m guessing the mousse isn’t very sweet and you’re going for a bagel/coffee type effect?

Goat cheese also goes well with sweet things
