I guess if you are making average food, using an average picture you find on the internet is just fine. I would rather customers see my actual food and know what they are getting. We work hard to make really spectacular stuff, so I don't think a stock photo would do it justice.

Given the margins in this business, I'd rather see local restaurants grabbing images off Teh Google than paying someone with a camera to take photos for them. Same principle as paying for "restaurant PR." Am I missing something here?

But paying somebody to photograph your dish for your website or menu is not the same as paying for 'restaurant PR.' It's paying for someone's skill. If you don't want to do that, that's cool. Just don't rip images off the web. When people would say they couldn't pay me for my photo but 'would credit the image to me' I'd respond I can't pay my bills that way. 'Hey Duke Energy, I can't pay you for your power but I'll tell everybody how awesome it is!'
