The way food is served has an impact on a customerโs overall experience. This is why restaurants try their best to come up with fun and creative ways to serve their food.
Unfortunately, not everyone succeeds in that. Some people end up using items that arenโt supposed to be on peopleโs plates while others come up with ideas that make their recipes look repulsive.
Whether youโre a restaurant owner or a home cook, take a good look at the 30 photos below. Make sure you donโt commit the same mistakes they did when serving people with ridiculous food.
1. How?
It looks good and it probably tastes good. The problem? How are you going to eat this pie without making a mess?


2. Can you guess?
In case youโre curious, this oneโs supposed to be a type of salad. Itโs just hard to determine the exact type because of how it looks. Everything is terrible.


3. No, thanks.
Thereโs nothing wrong with being creative when making a dish. Just make sure youโre using safe materials and ingredients. You wouldnโt want your customers to end up needing tetanus shots after eating your dish, right?


4. The rubber ducky
Although the rubber ducky makes the cocktail drink look unhygienic, it still looks adorable. It can make you order one ASAP.


5. Sustainable and environmentally friendly- not
The shop was telling the truth when they said their dishes are environmentally friendly and sustainable. They just didnโt mention anything about the polystyrene block they use when serving the dishes.


6. Nasty nachos
It feels like the restaurant ran out of plates and just grabbed the closest thing they have in the kitchen. If I were the customer, Iโd feel more than just โdisappointedโ.


7. Unnecessary
Thereโs no reason to put the cocktail inside a cage. Thereโs no way it could fly and escape.


8. Not what you think it is
The โforkโ was unnecessary. It made the chocolate truffles look like horse turd.


9. Hub caps arenโt plates.
Upcycling is good. Just donโt do it when serving food. Hub caps arenโt made for that.


10. A huge mess
This doesnโt look appetizing at all. Itโs like several cats threw up at once.


11. An orthodontic mold
Itโs hard to understand why people would do this kind of thing. Do they think orthodontic molds look nice when used for plating food?


12. Gravy, anyone?
This person probably hasnโt seen a urinal in her entire life. Otherwise, why was she alright with using one for her food? Itโs just gross.


13. On a deer antler
Usually, people hang deer antlers on their walls. They donโt put them on tables to serve food.


14. On a ceramic decorative pillow
They tried hard to make their corndogs look presentable. Unfortunately, despite their best effort, it didnโt work.


15. Take one and have a seat.
This doesnโt look hideous at all. Apart from the fact that the back of the clipboard is touching the front of the food- itโs forgivable.


16. One espresso to go, please.
Itโs kinda cute but itโs not something that can make people crave espresso. They may even find this repulsive.


17. A big no.
Chocolates are great to eat with your hands. Just make sure you donโt do it while itโs in liquid form. You may end up looking like youโre eating something youโre not supposed to.


18. Is that even edible?
What is that meat? And more importantly, why was it served with a piece of wire? This food comes with a lot of questions and I donโt think weโre all prepared for the answers.


19. In Japan
Bento boxes are quite popular in the country. However, this oneโs a bit weird. Iโm pretty sure phone boxes arenโt made to be used to hold food.


20. In a rock
Making those cuts isnโt easy. This probably required a lot of effort.


21. Biryani?
Itโs actually a very simple dish. Thatโs why people are confused as to how the chef managed to ruin this one.


22. On a shovel
These people probably ran out of ideas and picked the next thing they could find in their yard. The shovel ruined everything.


23. On paper
This restaurant could have used paper plates if they wanted to save money and reduce waste. Putting fish and chips on paper isnโt really hygienic.


24. A tower of onion rings
Onion rings are usually served as appetizers. This one, however, is a totally different story.


25. In a box
How do you even drink this one? Letโs hope it comes with a straw or an instruction so people wonโt end up getting wet from their own drinks.


26. Just stop.
Kids may find this amusing. But adults? Itโs probably a hard no.


27. In a jar
Putting breakfasts in a jar doesnโt seem like a good idea. Everything will turn soggy in just minutes.


28. Just no.
This is probably the most absurd way of serving food on this list. Your footwear shouldnโt hold your food- period.


29. Hanginโ bacon
Thereโs nothing wrong with serving bacon strips on a plate. Someone should tell that to the chef.


30. Is that a tree?
At first glance, you wouldnโt even think that itโs food. It looks more like an accent piece for the restaurant.
