A Fish Aficionado
I am going to make it through this year if it kills me
It's really standard to do so. I don't the Jimmies being rustled.
Chili's spends $750k/year on egg wash so burger buns will look better on Instagram

I eat there every once in a while and hate the new POS tablets on the tables. They and presumably the previous customers are so nasty since the tablets are always covered with grimy food fingerprints. You're supposed let kids play games on them while you're waiting for your food and also to pay for your food. So gross. I'm going to start instagramming the dirty screens.

They call my generation a whiny generation, but at least I don't throw a shit fit every time I learn a kid I don't know once photographed a shitty hamburger.

Chili's is fine for a chain. They're smart to do this.
Not a big deal.

Why share food from dime a dozen resturants? Awww damn I just upped the ante on narcassistagram.
What a waste. Nobody takes pictures of food at Chili's because it is not a place worth bragging about going to.
"Such a long week at work ! :exhausted: Heading over to Chili's for some drinks and DELICIOUS burgers
So basically you only post stuff to brag about it. Good to know.

I'm seeing a lot of "God help us" posts and other typical GAF overreactions ITT, but of all the things to be angry about in the world today, are you seriously pissed that people snap a pic of their meal at Chili's? Would it be equally unacceptable at chain restaurants like TGI Friday's, Applebees, Ruby Tuesday's, etc?
Because, you know, who gives a shit.

Pretty much.
It's a restaurant and people are taking pictures of food, who cares. And there's nothing wrong with egg wash on baked goods, more power to them. When I was a kid and had a small job at a bakery, egg wash was the shit.
oop. EXPOSE THEM.

Seriously. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if they spent that much per year on napkins in, like, one region.
I'll be honest, I don't really know what the end-game would be for someone posting a picture of their Chili's burger.

Are you guys really complaining that a company is putting actual effort into making its food look nice?
well, that is because whoever created that image spelled it wrong in their search
so did this guy

Yeah, it's pretty ridiculous. Chili's looks at this as an extension of marketing, making the food look good especially when people take photos and post them online.
I'm not about going somewhere and getting food that looks like trash like some of you. And if it looks good, you bet I'm going to take a photo of it and maybe even share it. Mostly via Snapchat.

Plenty of baked items (non-Chili's) have an eggwash such as pastries.
Like if it was a yoga mat chemicals, I'd get the outrage. But it's egg.

One of my favorite foods I shared via social media, triple truffle fries and mac and cheese bacon dog from Frank 'n Dawgs during Lollapalooza last year.
These people get it.
Honestly it's not a big deal at all. Think about the millions the fast food spends to make their food look awesome in commercials and on the web. They are just making their food look good so others will buy from them.
It's the food picture taking that also for some odd reason angers certain people.
One common theory is that they believe taking a few seconds to take a picture of your food means you aren't taking the time to enjoy it. I.. just don't know why people get so angry at everything lol.

lol what the fuck? Chilis is easily one of the best middle-tier chain restaurants. When the hell was the last time you've gone?

Yeah, that's just dumb. I was doing my 3 year anniversary dinner with my boyfriend last weekend at Level 257, which is the Pacman themed restaurant. We had the Godzilla Sushi, which was amazing. I had to take a pic of it, of course.
That Sushi looks super good. Reminds me of the fish tenders I got a while back. They were super tasty.

Went to visit my best buddy in Florida for Spring Break, and while it's not exactly food and just a drink, I had Butter Beer at Universal for the first time. It was great.

I'm mad at Chili's. They took the Chicken Fried Steak and Potato Skins off the menu. But.... they are doing their My Chili's Rewards here and i have enough points to eat free a few times.

Chili's - "We spend money to improve the presentation and plating of our foods like every other restaurant. Somehow, we still get ridiculed for it on NeoGAF"

Oh my god, give me some.
It just Food selfies don't serve a purpose to me other than being hungry so I get pissed off seeing this and the other pic. As long as it doesn't look like trash.
