One of my close friends was a professional photographer in the 90s and did a shoot for a restaurant menu. He told me they used a soldering iron to get the perfect grill marks on the steak.
they use engine oil instead of maple syrup for pancake and waffle comercials
And glue for milk in cereal ads or on the boxes
And they scoop lard instead of vanilla ice cream
so creamy
it’s the donald cut. overpriced and nothing but lies.
Side of ketchup included
Cooked to oblivion too.

How could they have failed?
Will this work if I draw them on while the meat is raw or does it have to be after it comes out of the microwave?
After 1 minute 700 Watts for medium/rare it’s the best to draw them, I suppose?
I was all about grill marks until just last month when I watched an Alton Brown and Guga video. Apparently grill marks are a sign that the meat wasn’t flipped enough for even cooking and browning.
But without burn marks how can you tell you if the meat was burned or not!? /S
Guga’s got me wanting a charcoal grill ASAP.
There still is some phycology behind seeing the marks that probably influences the person’s experience.
Why people don’t like strawberry drinks that would be clear without the red dye or probably don’t enjoy them as much.
If you think something will taste good by appearance you can slightly trick yourself into the thing actually tasting better. Grill marks don’t make the steak better, but people expect them.
We are weird animals. Probably part of that primitive brain that categorizes items that could kill you if you eat them using sight or smell that is being hijacked.
Well good joke if only OP didn’t use AI to make it…
What do you mean it’s literally a photo, not everything is slop.
Not too far off from how frozen meat gets “grill marks”.
Obvious AI slop is obviously AI slop.
