I'm struck by how many of the pictures of food show (a) fried chicken and (b) fries.

Props to the Somalian place that just has coffee and popcorn though!

One place only shows people. I guess it’s a humanitarian* place.

*If vegetarians eat vegetables what do humanitarians eat?

That’s because the best restaurants serve fried chicken and fries, and fried chicken and fries is the best thing on their menus.
And both foods are not a hot dog!
Interesting. Isn’t there a selection bias on the level of which pictures, of which restaurant, of which food by what type of people are actually taken and shared… I think this might skew what we see, away from an unbiased random selection of food impressions from the entire menu from each of all the (web-listed) restaurants, even with a perfect random selection of available images?
It is random but not a uniform distribution.
Those are two foods that never get old for me, though I prefer my fried chicken spicy and my fries salty.
