Deconstructed Classics

Deconstructed Classics charge $20 for a BLT that is literally just bacon, lettuce, and tomato placed separately on a wooden board, with no actual sandwich assembly. Restaurants have seen a 45% surge in returns for deconstructed dishes due to customers claiming the presentation feels incomplete, compared to a 12% return rate for traditional versions at the same price point. Named by its exact title on this list, this trend is even less practical than #3 Extreme Spice Challenges, because at least those stunts provide a physiological reaction, whereas deconstructed plating simply frustrates diners looking for a normal meal.
