The days of being served food on a normal plate or in a regular bowl are no longer. These days, normal dishes are becoming obsolete, and they are instead being replaced by odd excuses for dishes. It's a strange phenomenon that seems to be occurring in the more fancy, hipster, and posh restaurants in the world. Restaurants can try to be different all they want, but at some point, enough is enough.

Ridiculous plating methods come in many forms. From slabs of wood with everything from a sandwich to bacon and runny eggs on them, to tacos being hung by clothespins. Restaurants have no limits when it comes to their plating techniques. People just want plates, and these chefs need to realize that.

Here, we have collected 25 photos people have taken of different plating methods and styles they have been served while dining out. Things are getting crazy in the fine-dining community, and these plates are going too far.
