When your spaghetti bolognese gets served in separate jars that are supposed to represent the restaurant’s own deconstructed version of the meal, you can’t help but feel confused. After all, paying good money for a dish that looks like something you’d find in your grandma’s pantry is far from anyone’s idea of an ideal dining experience. But the food industry is brutal, and establishments will do everything in their power to impress you.

Thanks to the internet’s beloved corner of Reddit called ‘Stupid Food,’ we get to see just how far they’re willing to go. This online community successfully calls our restaurant owners and chefs who come up with pretentious ways to serve their dishes, overwhelming and repulsing their customers along the way.

“A place to lambast idiotic methods of serving food, or any other epicurean inanity worthy of ridicule,” says its description, and you know it’s gonna be good. Scroll down below to devour this crazy collection of absurd food creations we’ve gathered from the group, upvote the best of the worst, and let us know what you think in the comments.

Psst! For more arrogant dishes that ever left a restaurant kitchen, check out our earlier pieces of this feature here and here.
