In a recent interview, chef Ina Garten expressed her aversion to the TikTok butter board trend, comparing it unfavorably to food served on the floor. Despite its popularity, including origins from culinary works and social media influence, Garten’s perspective highlights concerns about communal eating and food being handled by others. Although she acknowledges that she hasn’t tried the butter board herself, her sentiments resonate with many who find the trend unappealing due to hygiene aspects and a general disdain for the presentation style.
I'm not a big fan of the butter board. I don't know why. Butter on wood, it just feels like it's on the floor. I just can't get past it.
But I haven't tried it, so I shouldn't knock it.
Many people agree with Garten that this trend is a little much, especially if you aren't into the idea of other people touching your food.
