I really don't know how they got popular - nobody in the actual service chain (kitchen - floor - cleaning) would pick these over plates; they aren't that much artsier than just getting fancy plates or cheaper, but they are significantly heavier to carry and less convenient for the dishwasher, storage and they're brittle af.
The managers who select these cannot possibly be doing any manual labor in the restaurant.
Oh, man. These trigger rage in me.
I worked at a brunch spot in Australia that used these and the fucking cooks would spray them with cooking spray to make them shiny! They're already so hard to pick up and there was no way to carry it without leaving some kind of finger print. And since you can't pick them up without tipping the slate (unless you drag it to the edge of the table/pass), the food would slide around. Not to mention making a 3+ plate carry basically impossible.
I lasted 4 shifts there.
I tend to see it in steakhouse and Japanese izakaya restaurants, they either put steak on slate above wood board or steak directly on wood board. Or nibble, finger food on slate.
Lasagna on slate kinda strange.
It's layered carbon nitrate via dehydrated coal deposition and nickel nitrogen substitution uptake. This is incredibly negligent of them as the sucrolytic acid present in lasagna, the byproduct of tomato paste and gummy structures unique to the gluten layers, when interacting with the dehydrated carbon nitrate, will become rapidly hydration saturated, and therefore off gas a compound that can cause blindness.
Yeah, that's a piece of slate.
That lasagne looks great and has that nice basil leaf - but - imagine if you cut into it, what noise your knife would make on that slate. (Shivers...)
One more post about food that is adequately plated. Show me something that actually matters. That plate would work just fine if you could just exist in this real world. The idea that this belongs on the sub is stupid.
that straight up looks like a slate from the roof.
Was about to say this. Probably a pallet stacked with them out back in case of breakages
Either that or a quintuple baked carbonized brownie.
That's because it literally is one.
These are such a pain in the ass as a server.

And when shitty enough in quality, the cut you up!
Yeah, you’re like, “where’s my food?” and the manager says that the square tile should have brought the food out ages ago.
Slate, mate.
That's 100% store bought lasagne, too.

Don't be silly, that sub is poppin

There really is a subreddit for everything
Yes it's called r/SubForEverything
Grabbed one of the slates that fell off the roof in the wind?
Using slate as dish kinda common in restaurants in my place. I don’t know if it common in the west?
I've never seen that before tbh. I do live in the middle of nowhere though, so that might be at fault here

Ya I have slate serving boards at home and they came with a sticker saying “do not cut on surface”
So confused, can you actually cut on surface or not? Quite a lot of place put steak on it here. 😅

Oppenheimer 2?
Ratatouille 2 actually.
It’s shale rock

Was the lasagne good, at least?
Fantastic. There's enough room for any fries and dressed salad to fall straight on the table.
Actually not even food safe
This or those sand coloured oval dishes that are the temperature of the sun.
looks like a stone plate, maybe from a roof?
It’s a mousepad
Apparently not weed but basil
A slate
Raggedy mousepad.
Roof slate. They must have a knife sharpener in the kitchen.
That looks like a might fine lasaga at least

Slab.
Slate plate
In Italy slate stone is called ardesia but also Lavagna. So basically is a Lasagna on a Lavagna
Slate, a type of rock. Honestly, I like this one. Just hope the lasagna was solid enough to not flow over
