do you take food pics?

Since I love when people include pics of their food (that sounds weird doesn't it? ) in their trip reports - I decided that I would include my food pics too after my trip.

My question is: do you feel weird taking pictures of your food at the restaurants? I've never done it before! Do the servers think it's strange??

Re: do you take food pics?

I've taken food pictures a couple of times and haven't noticed anyone looking at us. Maybe they do but we're too busy to notice.

Re: do you take food pics?

Yes, it feels very awkward to me. I tried to do it at Raglan Road and felt like everyone was watching me, shaking their heads, saying "where she comes from, they must not have food" lol.
I do enjoy looking at everyone's food pictures though

I definitely do! It's all part of the experience. But when DH and I were in CA for our anniversary, we ate at a Japanese restaurant and I ordered a Bento box, I forgot my camera!!! I was so bummbed because it looked amazing! We did take a pic of our favorite pizza at Round Table Pizza. I plan on doing it at Kona Cafe, the Tonga toast that everyone raves about!
And yes, people look at me strangely, but then I just take a picture of them too and they go right back to their business! kidding of course

I love looking at the food pictures too! I never take any though, because I completely forget about it until I'm halfway done with my food!!

Re: do you take food pics?

I wonder if people think you're a spy for another restaurant or something!

I love looking at other people's food pics - it really helped me decide which restaurants to book ADRs at. The only thing that really grosses me out - and I'm not sure why - is when people take pics of food that they've already started to eat. yuk!

I don't like that either. I've had to do a little 'staging' when I've forgotten to take a picture.

I always take food pictures, even before I belonged to MB & did TRs I used to take food pictures and people thought I was crazy.

I always take food pics too, mainly as a lovely reminder of what we are missing.

I hope it isn't weird, because I take food pictures even when I'm not on vacation.
