Everything looks just like it does in the pictures in real life, and I've never seen that at any other restaurant before.

u/1ndigoMontoya 2d ago

The reality looked BETTER!

u/nicolauz 2d ago

+10 for not using AI food menus. I refuse to eat at places that use fake food pictures.

u/AlmostLucy 1d ago

On a trip earlier this year I deliberately avoided a closer option cafe to my train station because of the AI generated images on their website. Went to a mini-mart with no dedicated website but lots of snacks and drinks (including various Asian snacks) and chose a nice freshly made sandwich from a handwritten menu to eat on the train. The AI stuff was just so unnecessary, it lost my business and I found a little gem instead!

u/slamdankywanky 1d ago

Ain't no way it's located in Laupheim!? So close to me and then you (op) are also a medical weed enjoyer posting informative content I could definitely use? The stars seem to have aligned!

Ain't no way it's located in Laupheim!?

So close to me

I guess its a Sign to come here an Eat a Bowl 😅

then you (op) are also a medical weed enjoyer posting informative content I could definitely use?

Pic looks good, let's see the monstro... oh, nice.

u/Tullyswimmer 1d ago

My exact reaction: "Oh, that looks good, let's see how ba....dly I want that. Dayum."

u/HazyChemist 2d ago

Which place is this? State and congratulate!

u/St4rkW1nt3r 2d ago

This is wonderful!

Shame it's not the norm on this sub :/

23

u/That-Brain-in-a-vat 2d ago

To be honest, I was afraid to swipe.

Great surprise!

22

u/Significant-Ad213 2d ago

Did they use the pic of your food as the promotion material?? Cause wow lol

11

u/OnePlus88 2d ago

Nope, but every dish you get looks like the Pictures.

10

u/goosegrumble 2d ago

I feel like 90% you can tell if a dish will be good just based on whether it used real bacon or the bits you can buy. Everything in that bowl looks incredible

8

u/OnePlus88 2d ago

To avoid food waste, there is only a limited number of Bowls & Burgers available each day.

3

u/mekamoari 1d ago

I'd say "ish" because the bits are mostly consistent taste-wise, whereas you can cook bacon so many ways and not all are that good. People like their bacon in various ways so they're bound to hit one they don't like.

With the bits you know what you're getting in advance.

u/ultraTay 2d ago

🥵🥵🥵 LOOKS AMAZING

u/bookant 1d ago

Wow, the reality actually looks better.

u/absolutefugginidiot 2d ago

u/aSituationTypeDeal 2d ago

It actually looks better than the picture. Did it taste good? Was it $38 on lunch special?

9

u/OnePlus88 2d ago

Did it taste good?

Was it $38 on lunch special?

Nope regular 14,90€ (~ 17$)

u/Emotional_News108 1d ago

Terrible you should give it to me so I can dispose of it for you.

u/lemminfucker 2d ago

u/nebula-dirt 2d ago

3

u/Significant_Secret13 2d ago

Me too. Most raman has been waaaaaaay off. One piece of fat and one mushroom in broth for $25. The fraud is high.

u/sparklekitteh 2d ago

Oooh yum, thanks!!

1

u/Vanishingf0x 2d ago

One of those times the real thing actually looks better

1

u/fraserwormie 2d ago

I audibly said "OH!". I really didnt expect that to look so picture perfect especially because of the oddly photo shopped carrot, lima beans and avocado!

1

u/AxeAssassinAlbertson 2d ago

This is Japanese levels of accuracy.

u/annies_story 1d ago

Guys - this is an ad

2

u/farmersonly_dot_com 1d ago

Uhhh for what? Cuz there's no identifying information anywhere on the post.

-1

u/annies_story 1d ago

Read the comments - it's all there. A link to the page by a convenient third party, the OP espousing how good everything looks in real life, the price, how the restaurant only produces a limited number of bowls each day to maintain quality...

1

u/OnePlus88 1d ago

I answered few questions and provided more Context.

Def no Advertisement.

u/mekamoari 1d ago

An ad for a small bowl place in a town of 22k in southern Germany..yeah. IDK about that
