[@saturnianali8r]

They're not just plain carrots. Found a article from Plate Online describing the dish- “In cooking the carrots, we found that they had a meaty texture and got the idea to use them instead of beef,” he says. “We cook the carrots sous vide with olive oil and thyme. They are essentially braised so that they’re tender; they can be ground, but in such a way to highlight the natural flavor of the carrots.” Ground tableside in a hand-cranked meat grinder, Humm’s carrot tartare is a mixture of cooked carrots, carrot juice, white balsamic-pickled mustard seeds, Granny Smith apples and a carrot vinaigrette seasoned with caraway seeds and ginger. It’s served with freshly grated horseradish, chives and toasted sunflower seeds, a pickled quail yolk and sour rye crisps

[@gilpetrovic5406]

yeah, you wanna pay mega bucks to watch some hack push a carrot through a meat grinder in front of your wide, ignorant eyes? you got more $$ than brains, bro... and that's ok. but maybe try Grey Canary in Memphis; real ingredients, real food, real respect in presentation

[@radicalraggamuffin]

Thanks. I was baffled by that dish. Carrots are still carrots 😂

[@AP-dd3xp]

[@fairlyadorablepancreas3746]

You know you're in a high end restaurant when your food needs tweezers to assemble lol

[@ajaisingh7575]

Sure the individual courses are small there but there are 11 of them and together they should fill up a normal human being. Also this is not about stuffing ur fat face but experiencing different smells, tastes and textures that are all extremely nice and delicious to have a great meal you will never forget. So while it is expensive if you can afford it, it seems totally worth it. Btw I wish I could afford it but kfc is good enough for me.

Carrot tartare? Raw fucking carrots and rye sounds a lot like student food mash ups reserved for making whatever you got in your fridge into a meal.

[@teni1887]

I won't lie, I'm pretty open minded with trying new things and I'm not one to complain about the "over priced small portions of food" but really...carrot tartare!?!?!? It was just raw carrot through a meat grinder...

[@ivanbult1322]

Teni this is a typical restaurant that tries way too hard to be orriginal and fails at it

[@Guitarfreak931]

look up the video of Daniel Humm explaining this dish. First of all they are from one of the best farmers worldwide, they have been cured and sous vide-ed and all the other toppings around it are super good. Seriously, look it up. Of course, it is a bit ridiculous, but they are not just raw carrots

[@edmontonlivermoore4935]

I'm highly skeptical that a sous vide carrot varies far from a carrot in a crock-pot in terms of both taste and texture. For this I believe you are paying for the experience. $295 is actually affordable for an 11-course tasting, especially at such a renowned restaurant.

[@ParanoidTheMarvin]

First you ask waiter to hold on for a minute. Grab the food, shove it in your mouth, and glare at waiter's eye to establish dominance while chewing of course. Hand him the plate and whisper into his ear 'more'. Repeat and rinse this 11 times. If he give you the 12th dish that means you unlocked the secret menu.
