A valiant yet fruitless attempt to disguise the embarrassment of eating dessert from a tiny bath.

Oh Vienna! Soup in a tin can

If you ask really nicely at Das Loft in Vienna, they give you a can opener with your starter.

Food service can’t get any worse when you’re LITERALLY scraping the bottom of the barrel.

Remember the pints of sweaty chips?

“They’ll never catch on,” we said.

CHIPTANKS ARE HERE.

That moment when everyone else gets plates and your dessert arrives on a porcelain horse head.

Call us cynical, but we don’t believe this skateboard will see the inside of a dishwasher.

If only someone would invent some kind of skewer device for eating corn on the cob…

Chorizo and crackers in a rock, for diners who love meat served in germ-riddled crevices.

THIS IS NOT A DRILL.

WE REPEAT, THIS IS NOT A DRILL.

(Though we do endorse chefs who think serving cream on slate is a good idea having to clean the tables themselves).
