It's so beautifully arranged on the plate - you know someone's fingers have been all over it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I like to have my hand on every single plate that goes out. It's really a good feeling when someone compliments your meal, and you had everything to do with making it. It's very rewarding.
At home, I never plate. Things go in the middle of the table, and you serve yourself. In the restaurant, every day I plate things, but at home, I want to enjoy my company.
Great cooking favors the prepared hands.
I don't like food that's too carefully arranged; it makes me think that the chef is spending too much time arranging and not enough time cooking. If I wanted a picture I'd buy a painting.
Sandwiches are wonderful. You don't need a spoon or a plate!
Writing has been handed to me on a plate.
Everyone is going to have to step up to the plate.
You get to the plate and nothing is going through your mind. You see the ball, you see the seams.
I never pile a plate to the point where it overflows. I'd rather have a small plate with small portions and then get up for more if I'm still hungry.
Unfortunately, I cook for two boys, and they don't care what it looks like on the plate, and neither do I.
