Wanky dots

The tiny, overly fancy sauce dots or decorative smears chefs put on a plate to make food look “fine dining” - when really it’s just trying too hard.
Commonly used to call out pretentious plating on cooking shows or at restaurants.

Coined on My Kitchen Rules (Australia, 2025) when contestant Lara Doherty joked about “wanky dots” during judging, instantly resonating with viewers who prefer flavour over fuss.

“Forget the wanky dots - give me more mash.”
“It looked like an art project, not dinner. Total wanky dots situation.”
