Just ate at a place in Austin that served a deconstructed chicken pot pie

It was at a spot called The Copper Hen, and the dish came as a bowl of broth with the filling, a separate plate of puff pastry, and the veggies on the side. The flavors were good, but it felt more like soup with bread than a pot pie. Has anyone else run into this kind of plating trend, and do you think it works?

What if the deconstructed style is just a way for kitchens to prep things faster? Wright.dakota is right about the extra steps, but maybe it's easier for them.

Nah, the extra steps are the whole point lol. It lets you control how much pastry you get in each bite, which is way better than a soggy bottom crust.

That just sounds like soup with extra steps.
