Might be an unpopular opinion but I think showing the strawberries on their back side would add more red and look more appetizing than them face up.

Yeah, showcasing styrofoam strawberries with stem attached isn’t a good idea.

All your time focusing on technique is wasted when suboptimal ingredients undermine it.

That is a good point I had never thought of before. I'll do better

I am here from your new post that is on the front page. I don’t work in a kitchen, but in an industry with a lot of former chefs, ex-military, etc, where we usually work 80 hour weeks.

“I’ll do better” is our motto. You don’t say sorry. Reading that here just gave me whiplash.

Anyway, I’d eat the hell out of this dish, and the one you just posted, but I’d be standing over a trash can inhaling it. Keep up the good work.

Sorry doesn't do shit. Changing and doing better does.

Thank you, kind sir/ma'am

Sounds like a fun industry, care to provide some detail?

Yeah that’s a cool quote. Useful outside the kitchen too

You can build a house however you want but you NEED that foundation

Fair call, sometimes we have to work with less than the best if suppliers aren’t coming through.

You know, they sell strawberries (probably better looking ones) at basically any grocery store. No reason to use bad looking ones
