In a recent food photography photoshoot, I was introduced to Muse Restaurants. There are now two in Bentonville and the food is delicious!!! Everything is made FRESH, the french fries are cut from fresh potatoes and nothing is frozen, rather brought in fresh several times a week and refrigerated, no freezers on site. In the photos below you'll see they have an engraved potato cutter that cuts them into fries quickly, they have boxes of fresh potatoes on hand each day.
With the help of Ashley Robinson (food stylist), Heidi Gawanda and staff the photo project went very smooth and the images are amazing! It's aways sad, to me, to go through the food without being able to enjoy it, from milk shakes, burgers, fries etc. The reason is that things are added to the food to make them look better, from food coloring, glycerine, toothpicks, hair and the list goes on. Making the food look photogenic, but also inedible. We were able to enjoy lunch there, good thing too, after photographing all that food, I was starving! I had a burger and a large shake, both were awesome!!
We had a few fun shots, my favorite was the waterfall of french fries. This was not as easy as you might think, 4-5 images were combined to make all those fries in mid air. The other was the water splashing over the potato being cut, Heidi had a huge smile on her face after that one, she knew her boss would be thrilled with that one.
Check out their locations in Bentonville on Walton and Hwy 62 / I-49 and look for some of these images on billboards soon!
