First time trying The Grove with my besties turned out to be a great disappointment. Not that the food was bad--- actually, it was tasty--- but the fact that we encountered a very unpleasant person next table. She was making statement by asking her friend why "Asians" always take photos of our food before we eat it? "Just for a plate of food?" ---that's a quote straight from her mouth. That's racist. And She IS an Asian, FYI.  

Of course we were pissed off. We starting to take more photos for the sake of showing her the action. And then, like we always do, we started to have a logical discussion over this matter. But I was really upset about how disgusting people can be when they are being self-conscious. It's ok to disagree with what we do, but you don't have to put other people down in order to show you're special or higher than everybody else. 

Enough rant, I just wanted to say, I appreciate every meal I have. It is not merely a meal, it documents who I'm with and what happened. It's the same reason of sightseeing photos, and has deeper meaning  than your selfies on your iPhone.
