The current image doesn't really stand out as an obvious example of a failure - it looks more like Gordon Ramsay just searching through a trash can.

Here's one possible replacement, with the suggested caption "That moment when you serve a very literal lame duck to a husband-and-wife-to-be."

Pull current, but [tup] to the suggestion.

[down]Well from the image, I don’t think that’s supposed to be how a steak or any kind of food should look.

Pull current and [tdown] to suggestion. It's not immediately obvious as to what's supposed the Epic Fail on either.

Sorry but [tdown] to suggestions in 5 as well. Without context, it's unknown as to how it's supposed to be an Epic Fail.

I think the OP's image and caption suggestion work. The duck breast is clearly underwhelming, to put it mildly.

Is it me, or do a lot of examples on the page feel like misuse? I thought EF is supposed to be for failures that are so bizarre that they come across as extraordinary or impossible. A lot of the failures on the page are just dumb but comparatively mundane errors, or the contestants going at a snail's pace and having to deal with the resulting consequences.

OP probably works (pending better suggestions) because duck cooked like that is definitely a first from Ramsay's POV.

We definitely have consensus to pull the current, so that's done and the page is tagged for this thread.
