OMG, I have been doing this since at least a decade ago.
I'd think the restaurants would be grateful, not hateful.
I love to show the colors, the art and design of food, whether in my own place or in a restaurant. :)
I take my photos with a digital camera, not a cell phone!
Sunny, you started this fad!
The big complaint by these restaurants in NYC is people standing on chairs and taking bad photos of half-eaten foods.
That's the bad part. Standing on chairs ? Sounds like a circus to me.
At least the NYC restaurants could bend a little and let patrons take nice photos.
After all is said and done, it's the patrons ( the people ) who paid for their food.
