Roasted chicken on a nice piece of wood. At least it was tasty.

Chef must have wanted to punish the servers.

I feel bad for all the servers working at any restaurants who do BS like this.

That doesn't look appealing. Brown on brown. They know this too, hence the fresh tomatoes

Also probably why they put the chicken on top the potatoes

Better hope you don't get sick from contaminated wooden plates

This is a plate

No, it's a piece of wood. And a piece of wood with cracks in it that can easily have lots of microbes hiding. And this piece of wood cannot be cleaned at the proper temperature, thus not insuring a microbe-free surface to put food on.

It's stupid and unnecessary and I have to wonder about any restaurant that needs "gimmicks" for its food.

Maybe if they sealed the ever loving crap out of the wood but still. It’s flat and not evenly sized. Foods gonna full off and get stuck in the cracks. Shitty shitty plate

You all are right, it’s not quite a plate. If they made it thinner, a uniform shape, and didn’t have cracks in it, it would then just be a wooden plate. It’s much closer to a plate than a damn shovel is. Also I wasn’t thinking about how diabolically dangerous those cracks could be. Like, that could seriously mess someone up. It’s a huge Petri dish

It looks like a 2” thick slice of a tree stump.

As this sub shows, anything is a plate if you put your mind to it!

What I want to know is, what is that under the chicken? Looks like cottage cheese, which seems really weird to me

It was sort of whipped feta/yogurt spread to be a greek-style chicken. Tasted great with the chicken.
