Not a lot really. I think the idea of the composed plate will never disappear. It takes so
much talent to make it look truly beautiful; I believe that chefs are ever expanding their artistic abilities.
Glasses ('les verres' - in French) filled with layered wonders, are the sort of thing that comes out in the al fresco restaurants more often (perhaps because of climate conditions and serving limitations) and restaurants that need to do some pre-preparation because of volume of guests. At al fresco time, I was always shopping.
They sure are pretty. They were visible but I just didn't notice a special flood of them. Maybe I just wasn't in the right places. I've always wanted to be everywhere at once......eating.
Shall I go back and make sure?
