There's a fine line between being creative and ridiculous, and even some of the best restaurants have passed it. I get it, competition in the food service is high. You need to think outside the box to attract more customers than that Turkish Kebab joint with questionable sanitary conditions around the corner. But that doesn't mean you have to embellish your dining sets with cocktails served in an actual umbrella. Or fried chicken on a sunbathing chair with kitchenware sticking out. Bored Panda has already shown you the 10+ Times Restaurants Went Too Far With Food Serving, but we've found so many more absurdly funny fails encountered while eating out, we just couldn't resist from making a successor list. Continue scrolling, check out the most hipster things that food has ever been served on, and upvote your favorites!

Competition in the food service industry often leads restaurants to take their creativity to the next level, much like the art of science-based charm. When trying to stand out, whether in dining experiences or romantic encounters, a touch of humor and originality goes a long way. Just like a playful science quip can break the ice, experimenting with unconventional food presentations can captivate curious diners.
Explore how creatively using science-themed pick-up lines can similarly enchant someone special by visiting Bored Panda's collection of flirty scientific messages.

This is disgraceful, food is supposed to be a joy, and eating out an experience. Food presentation should not have you cringing, fearful or reminded of the bathroom. This is complete lack of respect for customers, and the c**p that they are pushing more and more to see how far they can push, if your food and service needs such a horrible gimmick, fire your cook/chef.

I agree. If the food is really good, and the price is fair, you won't be needing this c**p to sell it. If this even works as a selling point, at most you'll get people to come one time out of curiosity, but never to actually eat.
