I don’t eat at many expensive restaurants, but that plating reminds me of watching the old Japanese Iron Chef episodes, and how 90’s the food presentation is. Sometimes I look at the (probably delicious) dishes made on that show, and the presentation looks as unappetizing as a 1960’s salad jello. I lack the right words as a culinary critic, but this style seems like “what people 30-40 years ago expected fancy food to look like”.
They aren’t the cheapest, but I really like using GripStics to reseal bags. As long as the bag is not made of a very thick material, you can get an airtight seal (Eg, good for plastic-y foiled bags, not so good for a bag of flour made out of paper). There’s no mechanical movement at all, so they’ll never break.
