We talk a bit about making the meat shine. I'll agree, to a degree,
a little glisten/shine looks more appetizing (to me) than just a flat
finish. However, question:
Can it be too shiny?
I saw a few pictures (haven't seen this come across the table yet)
a little while back where the meat was so shiny it looked... fake is
the only word I know. Honestly, to me, it wasn't appetizing. The
shine, in this case, if it came across the table like that, would've
actually taken away a point. It really looked.... I'm trying to find
the words... It didn't look like BBQ. There. I dont know what it
did look like, but the look wasn't BBQ. To me, not judging the "what
looks like BBQ", but taking simply "is it appetizing", the answer in
my mind was that "it was a turn-off; Unappetizing". For that matter,
it was IMHO gross; maybe 2 points off.
