Great post!  I think your older platings are really nice.  And would still be "Progressive" today.  You latest platings are more refined though.  I like them both!  The tilted glasses do make me laugh though!  They were awesome!  I love looking back at how I used to cook.  My wife, who is a pastry chef, and I were recently laughing about how we used to cook when we worked in fancy restaurants.  Or more specifically, what was considered "fancy" back then.  When I left working in Michelin starred restaurants and became a private chef I had to learn how to present food in a more casual "family" style.  Now I prefer unrefined presentations or "country" style of serving food in casseroles vs doing plated style.  But I still like to go out to eat in super high end restaurants and seeing what people are doing.  A few months ago we were visiting my wife's family in Bangkok and we ate at [Gaggan](http://eatatgaggan.com).  I was really inspired by his take on modern Indian food and his flavor combinations and plating style.
