Worst Michelin Meals: Mouth-Shaped Plates and Tongue-Shaped Entrees | Eater
"A one-Michelin-starred Lecce restaurant serving an experimental, marathon tasting menu reportedly spanning 27 courses over nearly five hours, with many dishes described as tiny, often cold, and more like appetizers. Reviewers reported confusing ingredient choices and explanations (phrases like “rancid ricotta” and “we’ve infused these droplets with meat molecules” were mentioned but not clarified), inconsistent allergy handling—one guest received nothing for three courses while another had an allergic reaction after being served something they couldn't eat—and extremely small main courses (the largest course was said to be six noodles). The meal includes a controversial theatrical course in which citrus foam is presented inside a plaster cast of the chef’s mouth and diners are instructed to lick it out of the mold; that same plaster-cast mouth is sold in the restaurant’s gift shop." - Jaya Saxena
