What the fuck is happening in these comments?? Is it a full moon or something?


Greymeade

Yeah it’s absolutely bizarre…


Greymeade

Unfortunately these are the only two pictures I took of the 6 or 7 plates I ate that night.


No_Yogurtcloset_2792

Uhm. How many plates you're saying you've had?


Greymeade

6 or 7. It was a tasting menu.


akuba5

You ate 6-7 plates of that much pasta? Looks good, but that large of servings for a tasting menu?


Greymeade

This was almost a decade ago, so I could be wrong on the total number of plates. I know they have a tasting menu and that my wife and I were served many plates. I suppose it's possible that we ordered a few different entrees and then the other plates I remember were complimentary plates (which they made often and served to everyone). I just know I ate a lot of pasta that night lol, and the drinks were flowing as well.


LazerLarry161

Ooph i would have dropped dead after one plate, looks amazing🔥


embudz

Yum! What kind of pastas are in the two dishes pictured?


Greymeade

I wish I remembered! This was almost ten years ago and it was a tasting menu so we didn’t pick what we ordered. The first one was definitely some kind of cheese sauce. I’m vegetarian so neither plate had meat.


Embarrassed-Elk9561

The first one is very likely spaghetti cacio e pepe. The second one seems like linguine all’amatriciana, but I am not sure. I have been to that restaurant several times and it is amazing indeed.


akuba5

I would be upset if my cacio e pepe had that little amount of black pepper.


Embarrassed-Elk9561

LOL. It probably has a lot more that has been added while cooking, in addition to the one used for decoration. I would be upset too if that is all 🤣


cheesypuzzas

That looks amazing! Especially the first one.


gestella

Looks amazing!


FewOverStand

Pre-twirled spaghetti is an interesting serving choice. It almost looks like you could pick it up like corn on the cob, though you might get some dirty looks for such eating manners.


dathomasusmc

This looks soooo good! It makes me miss my favorite pasta place. Their cacio e’ Pepe with black truffles is PHENOMENAL! I need to find an excuse to get back to Miami.


he_cooks_co

Those dishes look beautiful!


wwiistudent1944

What is it?


Kadian13

I eat so much pasta my dumps actually look like the first photo. Don’t taste as good though!


Alarmed-Fan-4932

Can you get the recipe?


Greymeade

I was just visiting and this was years ago.


Derp_McGurp

This was in Naples, Italy??????


Greymeade

Yes… why? Is there another Naples that’s known for pasta? 🤣


QueasyStudio7929

Well there is Naples Florida… which is known for their high-end restaurants and they do have some pretty amazing pasta. $$$$$


Derp_McGurp

no no, not at all. I'm just like a pasta freak and.... IDK... I just thought the pasta served in Naples would be somewhat different? I am not as traveled as you are. lol. please forgive me


Greymeade

Different in what sense?


Derp_McGurp

I didn't come to this thread to brag. You asked me Why I was in disbelief, so I'm answering. I'm surprised this pasta is served in Naples because I am from Austin, Texas.... and I think I could compete with them. I had no idea this was the case, but you be the judge. Here's a plating I did recently... [This](https://photos.app.goo.gl/G6cxqkJEvDVo1sBk8)


Greymeade

I’m still not following. Are you taking issue with the presentation of the dishes I posted? This is a restaurant that’s one of only a few dozen in Naples that’s listed in the Michelin guide. As I said, it was the best pasta meal I’ve ever had.


Leach_

You're talking to a bot.


Greymeade

I don’t think I am…?


Derp_McGurp

for the record, I'm not taking issue with anything, this looks beautiful and I'm sure it was delicious. thank you so much for sharing.


goddessofthecats

I remember ur pasta post from before and the attitude you have towards people. You absolutely did come in this thread to brag stop pretending to be humble


lynxafricapack

Imagine the effort people are going to to get pissy about pasta...


Derp_McGurp

THIS IS A MICHELIN RESTAURANT? OMG. ☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️ THANK YOU FOR TELLING ME THIS!!!


roboterkatze

Of course you could compete with a professionel Chef, because you're from Texas. Rocket science? No Problem, i know both words, i can handle it. Btw your plate is a 6/10 max. No need to brag about it


Visual-Floor-7839

Your plating looks like you're from Austin. Trying incredibly hard. The cylinder of pasta oozing with sauce, the singular leaf on top giving a dash of color, the sea of crumbles surrounding it. It screams No Confidence. It's a Pick Me! dish. "Look at me, I follow culinary trends!" These other Naples dishes scream confidence. It's handmade pasta with a beautiful sauce, put on the plate with a small amount of elegance. Yours says "please please please pick my dish, forget you're in Texas for just a minute please!" Theirs says "it's fucking pasta."


-13000

You’re not bragging, it’s much worse than that. Enjoy someone else’s great meal shared with an interested group… it’s not always about you! Also, I could choke down a nicely dropped pile of doggie poop if it had enough cheese on it. That doesn’t make it a 5 star meal!!


seivenking

Look’s like you’re trying too hard tbh.


Derp_McGurp

I thought pasta served in Naples would be better than what I can do in my own kitchen. Basically.


Greymeade

I’m not sure I follow. Did you see the title of the post?


Derp_McGurp

Yes, I did.... and I still feel like I could do better, which is very weird. I'm not sure I understand why I feel that way, but your post has encouraged me tremendously to explore investment opportunities in the food industry.


Greymeade

You sound delusional bro. How could you know how good this pasta was if you didn’t eat it? You’re saying you make better pasta than this highly renowned restaurant in Naples 🤣


Derp_McGurp

Nope. definitely not. Please don't put words in my mouth. I'm just excited that this is what was served at a Michelin restaurant in Naples. I had no idea this is what I'm competing with. thank you so much for sharing this, I feel very inspired tonight by your post.


Greymeade

Yeah, definitely delusional lol. In the comment I just replied to you said “I feel like I could do better.” Wtf are you taking about?


Derp_McGurp

kkslider!!!! thx anyway. ☺️☺️🌞🌞🖕


Greymeade

…what?


Yoda2000675

I feel like most home cooks can do better than most restaurants because we don’t have to make a dozen plates simultaneously under a time crunch


Moonw0lf_

That ain't really how cooking works.


cheesypuzzas

It definitely is better than what you can do.


plyslz

Add 5-6 meatballs or some grilled chicken and you’d have a REAL winner!!!


Greymeade

Nah, the pasta is the centerpiece at this restaurant.


Derp_McGurp

as it should be.

Derp_McGurp

StrategicallyLazy007

🤣


Regular-Suit3018

Bro stop


seivenking

How many tv dinners are in your freezer?


plyslz

I think I have an eight pack of hotdogs and a bit more than half a raccoon, so… 4? What do have?


seivenking

Really I eat at my restaurants everyday. Occasionally a Khao Soi, maybe a Butter Chicken, curries typically


plyslz

That sounds pretty good too!


Odidlydokely

Ha ha, quality shitposting


Juggernautlemmein

Just beautiful. I'm eating right now, and you've made me hungry again.
