Food is great, isn't it? Keeps us all alive, I hear. When you cook it in your own kitchen, it's pretty great, giving you a sense of pride, but there's nothing like going out in your nicest clothes, paying a chef to make your dinner for you. Try it sometime - I wholeheartedly recommend it.
Of course, in this modern age which I like to refer to as the loud death-rattle of capitalism, restaurants want to go above and beyond to make their culinary experience a unique one - often at the expense of sanity, practicality and sometimes, safety. These meals you're about to see are pretty great, but I think they'd be much better if they were served in plates.
1. Serving six olives really doesn't need to be this complicated

Well, there you have it, folks. What's wrong with a plate, you ask? Well, I'm right there with you. These are too crazy for any sane man or woman to consider, and I will bet you a lot of money that all of these meals will be massively overpriced. I might just head to a McDonald's instead.
