So, it’s actually not just Asian restaurants that offer cruddy photo representation of their dishes next to a number and description on the menu. I stumbled upon this little breakfast cafe called Cafe Mason in San Francisco’s Mission neighborhood, where every menu item had a relatively appetizing photo next to the description. Rather than turn me off, the semi-decent food photography actually helped me decide between eggs benedict with spinach and the bay shrimp and avocado omelette with tomatoes (I went with the omelette). Not a bad idea for more restaurants to include a photo of the dish for the indecisive orderer (like myself) or those into playing 20 questions with their server.

I think menu food photos can be fun but I’m an even bigger fan of the plastic food found at some Japanese restaurants.
