Doing Dishes (in Mary's Daily Dish)

I recently painted the day away with a friend at The Painted Plate on Market Street. We explored the world of ceramic paint and the many colors, depths (one coat is extremely transparent) and types (speckled, bubble paint or regular) that are available. We dabbled in techniques with sponges, stencils and equipment. The entire time we both were secretly competing to see who would have the better end result. Turns out we are both quite proud of our designs but it’s up to you to tell us… who is the winner?

The Final Dish: Comment below which dish you like the best. No pressure but the loser has to buy dinner for the winner. And then I’ll tell you who made which dish.

Both are cool but I have to say the bowl with the chili peppers on it and the drawing inside is my fav.

I love that green plate - isn’t the painted plate a fun place!
Ted – Jan 29, 2008

The green plate.
Sugendran Ganess – Jan 29, 2008

Clearly the bowl is the winner!

I’d say the green plate it appears there was a little more design that went into it around the edges and the design in the middle is more difficult.

I like the green plate. It’s superior in every way.
Fenwick – Jan 30, 2008

Green Plate. Duh.
CircsusBoy – Jan 31, 2008

Well, I think it’s pretty obvious who did which plate. Usually it ain’t easy being green, but in this case the green wins.

I gotta go with the green plate
ex-coworker – Feb 03, 2008

After much consideration….I will give my vote to the green plate. Both are very good and display a talent for painting…it was a tough choice. But I’ll vote for the green plate because I think the artist is a “poor starving artist” who should be awarded a free dinner !!

Mary - you are always the winner in my book. This plate could hold extra mayo!!

Ok all… UPDATE: I did the green plate (I want to thank my mom for all of her creative influence, I would like to thank the staff at The Painted Plate for their assistance but most of all I’d like to thank…)so I was lucky enough to win dinner from my very good friend (and creator of the yellow bowl) Sugendran Ganess.

Sugendran- Thanks for dinner and sorry you lost : )

Comment Guidelines

Be Respectful. Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?: Although the old saying, "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all," is swell, we encourage constructive feedback (ie, be polite), and recommend backing-up your comments with evidence/witnesses.
Be Honest. Look where it got Abe Lincoln. Well, before the evening at the theater.: We don't recommend complaining just for the sake of it (see number 1), but if you have a legitimate comment, it should be shared. Also, don't hesitate to disagree with other comments, even if your opinion is in the minority. If patrons aren't honest about their experiences, restaurants won't know that there is room for improvement. And there always is.
Be Specific. "The food was good" doesn't cut it.: Each dining experience is unique, so if a dining experience moves you in any way, by all means, share the details. Choose the sensory details that impacted your experience the most and describe them in your postings. Other foodies will gobble it up—literally.
Be Concise. 'Nuf said.: What? We thought it was pretty clear the first time.
Be Helpful. Sort of like how the elves and reindeer help Santa.: Will what you have to say improve the restaurant's ability to provide impeccable service and improve the dining experience for others (again, see number 1)? If so... help away.
Show a Little Pride. No Jane or John Does please.: If you are too embarrassed to put your name as the commenter, you probably should re-evaluate your comments (you know the drill... see number 1). If you have sensitive information that you feel needs to be passed along, please use your best judgment and e-mail it to us to avoid public posting. We don't want you to have any post-post regrets.
Don't Name Names. Let's not get too personal here.: We know you want to share your experiences, both good and bad, but this isn't the place to publicly condemn or praise individual people. Feel free to comment on "the service", "the chef", or "the staff", but any positive or negative mention of specific names will be moderated.
