Guilty here of posting food photos on-line, but only before eating: none of the nasty, half-chowed stuff. However, I do have a few friends who own restaurants and they have noticed that if I post a dish on-line, sales of that item do go up for a few days. At a hotel where I worked in Florida, I showed the chef a variant of his Moroccan chicken I ate in San Francisco (this was saffroned skewered chicken in a cream soup with croutons, his was plain saffron skewered chicken): he added it to the menu for the winter and it became quite popular. Irony here is, I am a horrible cook: for dinner, I make reservations.
The phone goes away during the meal. Rude to my dining partner and especially to the server and restaurant owner who need to turn over a table, as well as the person with a reservation waiting for my table. There was a study on this (cannot find the article in my archives) about how people are complaining it takes forever to get a table, to order a meal, and their food is cold: turns out people are on their cell phones, ignoring life around them, (’we’re not ready to order yet’ paying more attention to their phones than the menu, meal arrives and they are still texting, lingering over a cold cup of coffee post-meal and texting). Me – one shot with the camera, and yum.
Why get so bent out of shape over what other people do?Assaulting someone for taking a selfie is still assault and deserves full prosecution under law.
