Its super easy to use your phone! Look! This took like 5 seconds to shoot this delicious dish I made! Yummy!
That looks a little too spicy for me
I was just talking with someone about the old restaurants and cafes that would have the faded pictures of the food up in the light boxes.
No professionally staged, meticulously lit promo shots of impossibly perfect burgers. No AI slop. No looping video screens of people tearing and squeezing food in weird ways. Just a faded old photo that someone snapped exactly as it comes from the kitchen.
Stopped partway doing dishes?
This thin gruel could have presentation & sugar added to it and be sold as a $14 aperitif
I was at a restaurant that was doing a professional photo shoot for their food, it looked incredible.
When will restaurants realize the ideal restaurant doesn’t even have pictures of their food. A crinkled laminated text only paper menu, torn upholstery, and faded window paint is what the ideal restaurant looks like
Nah I definitely want the pictures, I just ask that they be real
Saw a guy do a presentation on how appearances shape people’s perception, and one of the slides had two pictures of restaurant dining rooms: one run down with cracks in the wall, the other sterile and modern with Pier One style decor. He asked “Now which of these restaurants would you rather eat at?”, and I don’t think he was expecting the general consensus to be that the shabby looking restaurant’s food would probably be way better.
Is this wanton soup?
