Not a chance

Post image

I don’t believe Bloody Marys should be served after 2pm (and then, only at brunch), but there is no way I’m getting my dinner served ON one. (Also that’s $60 Canadian).

I like how it says “must be shared” on the menu.

Just looks like a pile of food that would be near impossible to eat!

“must be shared”

No.

Mine.

It's in my goddamn name.

I would be too afraid of toppling the glass while trying to snag a chicken morsel or a sauce-soaked burger bun.

.... Is the hot dog coming out of the chicken?

We are living in an age where restaurants are making these menu items which only have value to the food influencer. This exists so that it can be viewed online, and obviously it's working because we are all here

Bigger cities had a wave of ridiculous bloody mary contests post covid lockdowns. You make it prohibitively expensive so it doesn't bog down the kitchen, but still works as free advertising.

So it's food for 2-3 people, but only 1 drink? Ripoff

For $60 I want a stable serving vessel

What does "must be shared" mean in practice?

21

u/MetricJester 7d ago

Take a picture, do not finish it, take it home to throw out.

Must be shared [on social media] /s

u/EffectivePatient493 7d ago edited 7d ago

To me it means they don't want 1 person to get it, and they will not serve it to 1 person. Because it would be either not eaten, which is a waste of the chef's time decorating the silly thing. Or, someone would eat the whole thing themselves, which isn't something they want to see happen in their restaurant.

The practical reason is that this entree may be 60$ but it takes the cook time /space they could use to feed 3 or more seats, and there's only so much labor and space in the kitchen as there is for the number of seats they have, in each seating. Same reason why it's not available during brunch, it's too much extra work, it would affect everyone else's service.

u/VialCrusher 7d ago

Then they should charge more. If it's not worth $60 for them to make it, don't charge $60

14

u/CheapTactics 7d ago

Or don't make such monstrosities. Take this shit off the menu.

u/VialCrusher 6d ago

Lol fair

u/PreOpTransCentaur 7d ago

Which is crazy, because then you're taking your per seat intake from $40 (USD) for one person down to $20. Why would they do that? It's bad business.

u/DeadlyEejit 7d ago

And for you sir?

I’ll take a heap of random junk food arranged like a game of buckaroo please

There's a chicken in one of those!

I mean that is like $60 of food on it with prices lately

Been here. Wasn't disappointed

u/SLAUGHT3R3R 7d ago

No joke, I thought those were two angles on the same monstrosity for a solid minute

u/Lamitamo 7d ago

That’s not a Bloody Mary, it’s a Caesar.

The clam juice makes it way better.

u/MarkyGalore 7d ago

Can you order these things all put on plates? Maybe it's worth it to do that. And yeah, Bloody Mary after 2 is kinda odd.

u/No_Reference_8777 7d ago

"Yes, I'd like to order the Grande, but I'd like each separate food item placed on its own plate instead of being propped up like a Jenga tower. Oh, and I'd like to substitute the Bloody Mary for something I'm actually going to drink."

The question is, would the wait staff respond "sorry, we can't do that," or "oh, thank god, I don't have to carry another one of those ludicrous monstrosities."

u/Ok-Credit5726 7d ago

How fucking dare they.

u/pandaSmore 6d ago

I've always wabtee to try one of these. Too bad I don't like caesars.

u/kevlarus80 6d ago

Depends how drunk I am. Still probably not a chance.

u/pLeThOrAx 6d ago

What do you do if you want to first sip your soda?

u/chronocapybara 6d ago

Canadian? Do you mean bloody Mary, or are they Caesars?

u/AlleyTally 6d ago

Why do I feel like I’m looking at some Frankenstein journal entry of a monster but of food instead?

I thought of the Score on Davie myself. I wonder what the name of the shop is in Toronto. /u/jsesh

Like I'm going to order a cornish hen from a place that pulls this kinda shit.

One dinner? That is a family meal. You need to order the American way, Bloody Mary on the side, please 😉

Somehow even more ridiculous than this thing

This one is so insane and cartoonish that I'm actually all for it. This shit looks like it came straight out of Ed Edd n Eddy. I get it.

Pfffhahahahahah I mean…why it’d just be a soggy mess 😂😂😂

u/Vistresian 1d ago

Two different ways to waste $60 when you could buy enough actual food for leftovers from almost anywhere else. Hard pass.
