Hipsters have popularized a lot of things. Mountain man beards, craft beer, and wearing Warby Parker glasses with fake lenses. All of that is well and good, but now hipster restaurants have gone too far with their attempts to surprise and delight us with their plates. Considering there’s an entire We Want Plates subreddit dedicated to this, we’re starting to think cooking at home might not be that bad. And, if you want even more, there’s a whole book.

We don’t want to know what they consider a “bowl.”
