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

A Plate Is a Plate

We’ve never really thought about it before, but the word “plate” is surprisingly ambiguous. Think about it—there are so many things called plates, from dinner plates to license plates! This restaurant decided to lean into that ambiguity by serving all their food on folded license plates. While it’s a creative twist, it raises a few questions

First and foremost, were these license plates properly cleaned before they became serving dishes? Hygiene is a big deal, especially when it comes to food. Second, why go this route in the first place? Traditional plates have worked perfectly fine for decades, and nobody’s had issues with them. As the saying goes, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” Sure, the idea is quirky and might attract attention, but is it practical? Would you feel comfortable eating off something originally designed for a car? It’s a bold move, but sometimes sticking with the classics is the smarter choice.
