Rhone1998 Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 I recently got a carry-out order from a fairly well-respected place. My order included a "charcuterie board" ($14). This is what I saw when I opened the box: Needless to say I was not happy. Hopefully I'm not violating the rules of this thread by not naming names, but I was curious what others would have thought/done in this situation. I actually don't think it's an absurdly small amount of meat if it's good quality, which it was, but I don't think any self-respecting restaurant should present their food this way, and honestly just how it looked put me off from ever going back there. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasonc Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 but how can you pack up a charcuterie board to go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 but how can you pack up a charcuterie board to go? This is the question I would have too. Usually a board also comes with little accompaniments and sliced bread, etc. Seeing just a bunch of meats that have been tossed around inside a box is unappealing. If they get many requests for it to go, you'd think they would develop a little prettier packaging system--with items wrapped in individual butcher paper or even deli paper. For $14, I think I'd like some pickles or something similar in there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weezy Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 I'd forward that photo to the restaurant so they see what their customer sees on a take-out order and have a chance to re-do the packaging/presentation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a wretched little container of food if ever there was one. You can tell it's high-quality charcuterie, and I suspect this will make its way back to the restaurant (they'll know if it's theirs). One thing I'll mention is that it looks like the box tipped onto it's side - you can see that not only are the meats in the top-left corner, but there are stains on the wall that are indicative of a clustering tilt. Still, I'd be pretty ticked off if I paid $14 for this thing. There's also a little *hair* on the ... oh, wait, that's my computer screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
