It is easy to make a delicious-looking vegetable burger at home. But would thisburger still look delicious after it sat on your kitchen table under very brightlights for six or seven hours? If someone took a picture or made a video of thisburger after the seventh hour, would anyone want to eat it? More importantly, doyou think you could get millions of people to pay money for this burger? Theseare the questions that fast food companies worry about when they producecommercials or print ads for their products.Video and photo shoots often last many hours. The lights that thephotographers use can be extremely hot. These conditions can cause the food tolook quite unappealing to potential consumers. Because of this, the menu itemsthat you see in fast food commercials are probably not actually edible. Let’s usethe vegetable burger as an example. The first step towards building the perfectcommercial burger is the bun. The food stylist—a person employed by thecompany to make sure the products look perfect—sorts through hundreds ofbuns until he or she finds one with no wrinkles. Next, the stylist carefullyrearranges the sesame seeds on the bun using glue and tweezers for maximumvisual appeal. The bun is then sprayed with a waterproofing solution so that itwill not get soggy from contact with other ingredients, the lights, or thehumidity in the room. Next, the food stylist shapes a vegetable patty into aperfect circle. Only the outside of the patty gets cooked—the inside is left raw sothat the vegetables remain moist. The food stylist then paints the outside of thevegetable patty with a mixture of oil, molasses, and brown food coloring. Grillmarks are painted on.Finally, the food stylist searches through dozens of tomatoes and heads oflettuce to find the best-looking produce. One leaf of the freshest lettuce and onecenter slice of the reddest tomato are selected and then sprayed with glycerin tokeep them looking fresh. So, the next time you see a delectable hamburger in afast food commercial, remember: you’re actually looking at glue, paint, rawvegetables, and glycerin!
