I'm curious: do establishments always/often know who you are when you eat there? Or do they think you're just some guy who likes to take pictures of his food? Or, do you eat anonymously and THEN take photos of food?

I know...I'm nosy.

Me too....lay it on the table.

The trick to good food photography is to "light" the food from behind or from the back. Not above or from the front. Look at how food is photographed in mags. Look what direction the shadows cast . Michael's just a good photographer. Try taking photos of food yourself. You'll see it ain't that easy to make it look like something you'd eat!

Yummmmm !!!

Five minutes until lunchtime and I want that fish. Alas, I am stuck with a turkey bagel sandwich.

That is one tasty looking picture !!!!

I'm living for lunchtime too !!!

I seldom bother to explain. Most places just think I'm a nut who photographs everything he eats. Besides, 9 out of 10 Roadfood restaurants wouldn't be too impressed if I walked in arm-in-arm with Jacques Pepin, Julia Child, and the restaurant critic from the New York Times and told them we were writing a feature story about their meat loaf. So even when I do tell them why I'm taking pictures (and eating 3 different entrees), it usually doesn't cause more than an indifferent shrug. And that's the way I like it!

The fried shrimp at Doug's are worth trying as well, also the french fries . They do all fried foods very well. And you gotta have some cole slaw with all that fried seafood.
