When you're the sommelier at a restaurant, as I am, your job is made a lot easier when you're working with a great chef. You don't want to have worked hard pairing wines with a menu and then have the food come out looking awful. Even if that food tastes incredible it can be ruined by poor presentation. I once ordered a steak that ended up tasting great, but was just thrown on the plate with overcooked carrots and lumpy mashed potatoes. I'm not saying you need perfectly placed flowers and dots of coolis, but come on! Make it look decent.
The other night we had a larger party order more than one steak and wanted them sliced, so our chef decided to send them out a little differently...
To say that my mouth started watering is an understatement. I also suddenly wanted a glass of Cab Sauv 🍷💛
Thanks for your support!

It really is all about presentation when it comes to food.
What a great picture.
I love that pause or hesitation when a meal is presented that looks so good I don't want to alter it's appearance.
What's that dish called? It looks so yummy!! It's like the dishes we eat here in Venezuela. <3333 I don't think I've ever had something so nice looking.
Looks yummy! made me hungry!

You're more than a sommelier. You're a leader and an artist @travelingsomm..
You have just made me very very hungry...
Looks very good, nice post
That dish looks amazing!
Sommeliers have a deceptively tough job - pairing wine can be a massive challenge especially at a top restaurant.
The dishes are well presented, they look delicious
That's true, the presentation of the food it is very important. Regards!
It looks delicious!The source is also devised.I want to drink wine while eating it.
Yummy yummy yummy. And yes presentation matters a lot. We eat with our eyes as well. I think that Asian cuisine is an example where you have food effortlessly dropped on a plate but it tastes nothing like ot looks like.
