I can certainly appreciate an artfully plated dish, but this is going a bit far maybe. There are literally only four tiny pieces of beets on this plate. I understand that there are many components here, but give me some more damn beets! LOL, I’m only slightly joking… The beets were delicious, and so were the pickled cherries. I think that was a beet gelee too, but don’t quote me on that.

It’s a beautiful clutter on a plate. Glad it tasted good too.
That is one gorgeous plate of beets! Very sexy plating but where’s the beets?! Ha!
The plate doubles as a scavenger hunt! đ
It looks like there is a geletee…
Beets, cherries, black olives, fig branches? YUM. đ
Luce uses lots of interesting flavor combinations! Very exciting.
Very nice!
