Michelin restaurants are simultaneously the best and worst things to happen to food.

While I have no doubt that the flavors of this dish are fantastically composed, think about the waste that goes into creating courses like this. A fish that could have fed 1 or 2 people now yields maybe two potions for coursed meals.

Plus, they have become exclusive clubs to the wealthy while also creating ridiculous and unreasonable standards that are simply unsustainable. Look at Noma.

This isn't absolute, there are definitely one star/Michelin rec'd restaurants that are much more approachable and environmentally conscious, but on a whole, it's tough for me to not think about everything an operation like that entails. And this is coming from someone who would still love the opportunity to try more of these establishments.

I did something like that on a cruise, but all of that food was prepared to look really cool and almost not food looking. Like these gumball sized and shaped poppable balls filled with pretty much mango juice. Unless this is supposed to be one of those appetizer parts, this is still a bit small for what we had for the "main" course series. I know it's the experience, but this should at least be condensed down to a smaller plate to make it look more the part. IMO of course. I'm no master chef. Just a guy that loves food. ❤️
