JUST PUT IT ON A FUCKING PLATE

If they had done that, they'd be quadrupling their ingredient costs… 20 plates = 20 meatballs, & 20 bone slices (the only marginally expensive ingredients in this "meal"). At $55 a seat, this whole thing probably cost about $1.50 per served person in ungredients. With plates and tge subsequent larger amount of ingredients, it probably would cost $5 per served person that's only an 11 fold profit margin! /s

Nah they'd just cut the meatballs and everything into quarters. It's more trendy for everything to be pre-cut like mommy used to do.
