I don’t know what I hate more, that they smashed the one ice cream upside down in front of the one dude or that the other one was unceremoniously thrown on the table to roll around.
There was a study published recently that said all participants had microplastics in their ejaculate. I don’t know any other details besides that finding.
Ohhh damn. Ok thanks. I'd seen a lot of references to plastic in balls and was like is this some thing like 6/7?
Someone resently said something about Bronze Age, Iron Age, Industrial Age and Plastics Age and I thought... that's it. It's not the information age, it's the plastics age.
We're going to have so much of this shit world wide it will just be in the soil strata - the fossil record will look back and along with our fossilized bones will be a layer of plastic encased with us.
I think at some level it must be. This has to be one of those places where "sass the customers" is the whole bit, like Dick's Last Resort, if you know it.
There's just too much showy clumsiness for me to think this is meant in true sincerity.
So I think it's an earnest performance, but the thing it's performing is sass.
I don’t like the concept at all but Alinea’s is still more polished and engaging than any videos I’ve seen of the imitators.
(At alinea they clear the table and line it with a “silicone tablecloth”. At one point they impregnated the silicone with a hydrophobic material in the shape of a square and proceeded to pour a sauce in it (they had some mark to know where it is, the square was the same color as the rest of the mat) and as the sauce pooled on the table it formed a square. Very visually engaging, looks like the physics engine broke).
I've been to a couple Michelin star restaurants that served innovative, exceptional food on normal fucking plates.
The gimmicks some of these places pull seem so tawdry to me. Despite the auspices of opulence, it strikes me as gimmicky. Like disneyfied luxury, like a tasteless person's idea of good taste.
Mostly agree. A few, and I mean like 20 globally, actually pull off these kind of stunts. They have the money and staff to spend the time to dial it in and make it a fun experience (in theory). Then for each one that does it well you get a few dozen copycats that don’t put the work in, watch a few videos, and you get the clunky and far from fun experience.
Keeping eye contact with a black dude while planting his ice cream ckne upside down on the table 100% happened in a tastee freeze somewhere in Kentucky in the 90s
Not sure why you immediately just say oh if this was the south it would be because theyre racist. Pretty fucked up of you as someone who grew up in the south and hates racists.

if the answer isn’t the one rolling around on the dirty table then idk what to tell you
Theres a clear sheet covering the table
Microplastics, they’re what balls crave
Lol, why are there so many references to plastic filled balls? Was there a reddit moment I missed?

It will be our dinosaur meteor.
Most of the table. The cone stopped just short of the edge of the plastic.
And what manky old rag are they wiping that clean with each time then? I'll wager it's far from sterile.
I’m surprised the customer didn’t receive a slap in the face
And a kiss on the mouth?
looks like the aftermath of a 10yo's bday party. Wouldn't blame anyone for getting up and leaving halfway through this
This is a joke, right?

They’re not doing a great rendition of a dessert trend that, I believe, started at Alinea in Chicago.
Alinea tabletop dessert

God, high-end dining gets so weird.

Isn’t that just all of France?
Not in my experience. I've found the French to be quite lovely! Despite my... ahh... deficiencies with the language.
No, it's alinea (3 star michelin) at home.
Not this year…

You have to be preeeeeetty confident in the cleanliness of your table if you're going to have people eat sauces and ice cream off it. ffs
Confident in the cleanliness, or you simply don't care about the customers health.
Very fair.
There is a plastic sheet, but still...
No way it's clean, apparently people are sleeping on those tables
Dude looked so annoyed
No kidding ... if that happened in the South (U.S.), I'd be wondering if that wasn't outright racism!

Not sure why? Oh ... maybe because the majority of people who hold on to things like the "Confederate Flag" are from the South...
You can just see the look on that dude's face like - wtf is happening bro?
Stop giving these fuckers money, people.
That W is the same one we had to draw in mustard on the Wendy's burgers.
Most slept on? I'm gonna keep sleeping then.
Time to knock the table over and walk out.
Disgusting. Someone could have had their dick on that table
That is a random thing to think about.
He's correct, it was my cocknballs!
How many times is this going to be posted?
They cut out the ending where the waiter slaps them
Right after he spits on the table.
Seriously. I read every gesture from the waiter to be utterly sarcastic. "Here you go you stupid tourist!".
Why even bother putting paper on the table if you're gonna chuck the other person's ice cream on the table next to it??
Just so EW!
Disgusting
I have to know the name of this place now
Title on point.
Well I hope that restaurant stays slept on, because nobody should be receiving food in this manner. Makes me so mad.
No but we really do have that at home
Another day, another most slept on restaurant in Paris post
I like his pretzel cardigan
The “We’re all out of ideas” restaurant.
This is satire, right?
Right?
What horrors Achatz has welcomed to the plane of men..
When Restaurants do that shit and demand high prices, they deserve to be sued
His face is our face. I couldn’t believe what I was watching either, dude.
This feels like a visual representation of "manager wanted stupid, so we're doing stupid until wnough people complain".
Whenever I see this, I want to eat with a knife and fork, F you and F your table!
Aggressive “plating”
How disgusting! Poor guy!
As Leonardo Cepero would say, NO THANK YOU.
As Denzel Washington would say GET THIS MF SNAKES OFF MY MF PLANE
Wrong and Wrong
No spit to the face?
Not fancy at all.
Posting Alinea is cheating.
"We have Alinea at home."
Is this in Paris or is it Alinea?
It's Mamamia in Paris. 1.6 stars on Trip Advisor.
Issayoke.
