'This is barbaric': Internet horrified after Martha Stewart shares image of her 'chobster' dinner

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Martha Stewart, the venerable lifestyle guru known for her impeccable taste and culinary prowess, has found herself at the center of a heated online firestorm after sharing images from her recent dining experience at an upscale restaurant in New York City.

In a move that has left the internet collectively aghast, Stewart showcased a culinary fusion so bizarre, so audacious, that it has sparked a tidal wave of outrage and disbelief, as per Daily Mail.

The dish in question? A roasted chicken stuffed with a complete lobster, aptly dubbed the "chobster" – a culinary mashup that has drawn comparisons to everything from a "PETA hate crime" to the twisted imaginings of Sid, the toy-torturing bully from Pixar's classic 'Toy Story.'

Martha Stewart's dining experience at Maison Barnes sparks outrage across social media

During a recent visit to the newly-opened upscale Maison Barnes dining experience in New York City, Stewart indulged in a multi-course feast featuring a delightful assortment of dishes, including a fresh green salad, assorted meats and seafood, an elaborate chocolate cake, and an exquisite puff pastry.

However, it was one particular dish that stole the spotlight and sparked a vehement online reaction.

In Stewart's Instagram slideshow of the food, the initial image displayed a roasted chicken with the claws, head, and tail of a lobster emerging from its body, creating a visual spectacle that left many viewers in a state of disbelief.

The post was flooded with outraged comments, as users expressed their horror and disbelief at the unconventional dish.

One commenter quipped, "Martha, are you dining at the Hunger Games Capitol?" while another remarked, "Not the chobster."

Expressing shock and disapproval, a user wrote, "This is barbaric," while another commenter likened the dish to a "PETA hate crime."

In a more tongue-in-cheek fashion, a user joked, "Immediately back to prison," while a commenter humorously imagined, "If Sid from Toy Story became a chef."

Martha Stewart showered praise on Maison Barnes and its culinary experience

Despite the overwhelming backlash, Stewart remained unfazed, doubling down on her praise for Maison Barnes and the culinary experience it provided.

In her caption, she described it as an "early 20th-century dining experience," and commended the proprietor, Georgette Farkas, for creating an ambiance reminiscent of French sophistication.

The controversial "chobster" dish, officially listed as "roast chicken and lobster with bisque sauce and spring rice," commands a staggering price tag of $250 at Maison Barnes.

Diners are advised to "please allow up to one hour" for the preparation of this extravagant fusion creation.

Maison Barnes, a limited experience at Cafe Boulud on Manhattan's Upper East Side, prides itself on "cultivating the French art de vivre," or "the knowledge of how to enjoy life."
