Review: If you want to take photos of your restaurant food, should you ask permission first?
By Tom Sietsema Tom Sietsema Food critic Email Bio Follow Food critic March 6 at 10:00 AM An occasional look at my communication with readers.
As for myself, I tend to take pictures mostly for the purpose of remembering food presentation; in formal establishments, I generally ask permission and avoid using the flash. Only a few places of my acquaintance ban photography, Komi in Washington being the most prominent. Lifts for food are “definitely expensive to install,” says Brett Carnahan, the general manager at Sababa, especially in buildings that weren’t designed to accommodate them. The 22 steps between the ground floor, where the kitchen is located, and the second-floor dining room are indeed a trek. Carnahan says “I lost eight pounds” in the month and a half he’s been working there. Sobel shouldn’t feel too bad, however.
Still, I sympathized with the workers. “No dumbwaiter?” I asked a server, whom I caught descending from on high. “I’m the dumb waiter!” he shot back, earning every bit of his 20 percent tip. “I’m in the middle, too,” says Masaaki Uchino, Sushi Nakazawa’s chef, who gets his bluefin from between Massachusetts and North Carolina, depending on the season. He says he serves the delicacy, which feeds on sardines, squid and mackerel, primarily because bluefin is “the king of sushi” fish, with an incomparable texture and flavor. For guests spending a minimum of $120 on his omakase, or chef’s choice tasting menu, he wants them to feel the experience was “worth every penny.
