If it makes the food look or taste better, how is this a bad thing?
lol, nobody posts fucking Chili's on Instagram.
my generation disgusts me. spending all their free time advertising for some faceless corporation instead of doing something meaningful with their lives. ok take a picture of your chemical-laden meal while children starve in foreign countries. tweet how much you love microwaved meat while console exclusives go undefended on internet forums. whatever. so stupid.
I highly doubt anyone puts significant thought into whether something is "shareable" before they do it."They are not going to do things if they don't believe it's shareable," Creed said in describing millennials.
Really? How old are you?
This.The reactions in this thread are hilarious. Chili's spends money to make their food look more attractive. Not a big deal.
IIRC Chili's started the whole french onion/onion ring on every hamburger, right? I think that just sunk in as ''every burger here is greasy and sloppy''. That might be why I never remember eating there. It's like how Applebee's does the same exact thing. Everything has to be smothered or it's just extremely bland.
We also had a Red Robin open up around town and for awhile that replaced both restaurants. Now it's all about going to Five Guys.
I noticed when I was at Five Guys that they get their potatoes catered by a specific person every now and then. They write who that is on their board. I couldn't imagine places like Five Guys doing this. Half the time they just throw your food in a bag and that's it. I don't know why they'd care about food photos or looking great. I prefer Five Guys over a lot of places.
I tried Culver's last year and I didn't get why people loved butter burgers so much. A good burger place is typically your 1,000 calorie meal with more than you can eat on the menu. Everything else is bottom tier restaurants or places you go with a large group of people.
Half of these food photos look like small little portions that probably cost a fortune. I guess I got over elegant looking meals a long time ago. The large sized pieces of meat look more interesting to me.
Oh, so that's why my grandmother put egg wash on her bread and pies! For Instagram!
(Stupid title is fucking stupid.)
Chili's says it's spending about $750,000 a year for an egg wash that gives its burger buns a photogenic glaze. It's part of an effort by the chain to get you to take pictures of its food and post them online.
"It just makes it look great. It glistens, it shines," said Wyman Roberts, CEO of Brinker International, the parent company of Chili's.
In evaluating whether a dish will appeal to New School customers, Chili's now considers whether it's "shareable."
"That doesn't mean just big portions. That means stuff they could take a picture of, because they all like to share," Roberts said.
What are you on about?Oh, so that's why my grandmother put egg wash on her bread and pies! For Instagram!

I really can't understand those who are outraged. As someone who really enjoys baking bread at home, I do the same thing with a lot of the stuff I bake. Bread, no matter how delicious, can look horribly dull and unappetizing if you don't give it a little love. Egg wash on challah or rubbing a stick of butter on plain loaf bread makes both of them look wonderful, and gets people excited about eating it.
So, I guess it can be seen as wasteful, but it really does help presentation overall.

today i learned selfies aren't vanity photography
so they just paint on raw egg white?
gross
Try reading the words under the title.
While I agree with the point you're making, using a post of his from the FaceGAF thread while pointing at his stance on vanity photos is kind of funny. What was the guy supposed to do if not take a selfie for posting in there?
"Sorry guys, I would love to contribute but you see I've got this stance on vanity photography."
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.
The GAF Selfie thread isn't mandatory. If you don't want to post your self it's not required. In fact, I kind of think that thread was made for people who need to post selfies and share how they look.
It's that for some people clearly, but there's also a communal, curiosity satisfying: "I wonder what other members look like, here's what I look like" -aspect.
I guess you've never baked bread, pastries or even some cookies before. This is normal (before putting it in the oven)so they just paint on raw egg white?
gross
People want to see what food I eat, I show them. I got that meal to celebrate a milestone in my life, also.
You're trying real hard to make this a thing. You don't need to be so defensive. Just don't care.
Humans are selfish creatures by nature, they're also hypocritical all the time, even when they dont notice or mean to.
Ive only taken a picture of food once, and that was a waffle, and it was fucking delicious.\
EDIT: Fucking look at this deliciousness.

Who takes pictures of food at Chilli's...
When I am taking pictures of food it's when I feel it is something truly unique (or expensive). Like eating a 125$ set lunch here in India or or International Fist Class Flight cuisine.

Uh, that's what you thought was appetizing?
If you want to eat actual good food you should eat here. http://thecornerofficedenver.com/
Or you can continue eating what you consider "good food."
Edit: I just realized that's what you think are waffles. lol
lol, man, I love how upset old people get about what Millennials do in their spare time.
You're just keen on not getting the point, aren't you?So basically you use it to brag and other people use it to post stuff they like. You're so above them.
Wow....this whole post is making me cringe.
You're just keen on not getting the point, aren't you?
The point is that there is a split between those who only take pics of something special and those who would take a pic of a McDonald's meal.
Interesting vs Not interesting
Adding value vs Seeking likes
Well ok then.Your shit's not any more interesting than a McDonald's meal, hoss, it's all just pictures of food. Expense doesn't make a thing intrinsically more interesting.
