Keke Palmer Shares Photo Of Fyre Festival-Looking Meal From $35,000-Per-Ticket Met Gala Dinner: 'This Is Why They Don't Show Y'all The Food'

Keke Palmer took us back to the year 2017 with a behind-the-scenes peek at a rather pathetic looking meal at a rather expensive event.

As pop culture fiends recall, Fyre Festival attendees forked over anywhere from $450 to $12,000 for "a uniquely authentic island cuisine experience" that was supposed to feature "local seafood, Bahamian-style sushi and even a pig roast," only to receive two slices of bread, two slices of cheese, a few lettuce leaves and some tomato inside a white Styrofoam container.

As the photo of the sad-looking meal went viral, so did tales of the failed luxury music festival that promised a star-studded weekend getaway on a supermodel-laden island.

And Keke gave all of us mere mortals sitting at home watching the Met Gala from social media those same vibes Monday night.

Taking to her Instagram Story once she was inside the $30,000-to-$35,000-per-ticket event, the 28-year-old actress shared a photo of a plate of food that left something to be desired.

Though the dish itself was beautiful (hand-painted from Tory Burch's Oiseau collection), the contents of it were not. Sitting atop what looked to be bland-colored barley was a few cherry tomatoes cut in half, several kernels of corn, three slices of cucumber and what appeared to be a single mushroom.

Though Palmer had eaten most of her meal prior to photographing it, she did caption the shot, "This [is] why they don't show y'all the food [tongue-out emoji] I'm just playinnnn [eyeballs emoji]."

On Twitter, she wrote, "The menu chile."
