Oh, I was totally on board with deconstructed food at first, thought it showed creativity! But my mind changed after ordering a deconstructed Caesar salad that was just whole romaine leaves with anchovy paste dotted on the plate, like, I had to assemble it myself which felt silly. Another time, a deconstructed tiramisu arrived as separate bowls of mascarpone, coffee-soaked biscuits, and cocoa powder, losing all the layered magic. It hit me that unless the flavors are genuinely enhanced, it's just plating theatrics. So now I'm skeptical unless the dish truly offers a new taste experience.
