These Restaurants Served Food in Unusual Ways, and Diners Weren't Loving It

A Real Cookbook?

For years, we thought a cookbook was simply a collection of written recipes. Turns out, we were wrong—this is a real cookbook! Imagine going to a restaurant and being served your appetizer inside the pages of a menu book. It’s definitely a first for us

But what happens next? Do you eat the pieces separately, or do you build your own appetizer? Either way, it doesn’t seem very sanitary, especially if they do this with every dish. How do they even clean those pages between meals? It’s hard to picture a practical way to keep the book hygienic. Plus, wouldn’t the food stain or damage the pages over time? While the idea is creative, it raises more questions than it answers. Is this a quirky trend or just a one-time gimmick? Either way, it’s something you don’t see every day—and probably for good reason.
