Apparently, this restaurant meal was meant to be a highly artistic experience.  The review is the funniest restaurant review I've ever read.  Check it out.

Omg this is hysterically funny! The citrus froth between the lips of the cook! The meat droplet course!

I had to look up Lecce, and it is in Italy.

Wow. It makes me hungry just reading the review, and not in the usual way a good food review makes me hungry. More like deprived, famished. hah

Yeah, if I was going to a Michelin star restaurant which would be the first one of my life, I wouldn’t eat lunch that day and probably will just have a roll for breakfast. I would be starved when I got there.

He didn’t talk about the wine so it must’ve been OK. Well if you’ve had enough to drink then the lack of food loses urgency after a while.

Edited to correct: this is a one star restaurant, still a rarefied status.

Yeah, aside from the foam in the cast of the chef's mouth, whatstruck me was that the entire party didn't notice being served the main course..

Maybe it’s meant to be enjoyed the same way a masochist enjoys pain.

I think I read commentary on this review that included a response from the chef.

The chef responded that he is bored with making food that people will like and is now making food that challenges his own understanding of what food is, what good is, etc.  He compared himself to a surrealist painter.  He also said they sell the plaster mold of his mouth, and they make one of his business partner, and both are sold out since the review as published.

The food critic who wrote the article thought that was fair, but said there was a hospitality element missing from her experience.

This is a fantastic review, up there with Pete Wells' iconic review of Guy Fieri's restaurant in Times Square (NY Times).

The website for Bros is also disconcertingly sparse and confusing: https://www.pellegrinobrothers.it/en/bros/ (FYI the website has an epilepsy warning).
