The Broken Plate Club is an accolade given to restaurants to which no guest or host offered a rating above 2 forks.
It is the inverse of the Golden Plate Club.
The Broken Plate Club was established in episode 306. It was retroactively compiled here.
In episode 434, Mitch comes up with this idea again and calls it the Reverse Tenet Club.
