That is quite interesting. I must depend on the type of restaurant though. I've never seen this at the local family steak house.

In defense of longer seating however I will say service in US restaurants is incredibly rushed. It annoys me immensely to have a waiter at my side asking me if I'm done every second I put my fork down.

Filipinas in particular seem to have to take a picture of everything before they eat it.

Taking pictures of your food strikes me as so sad and desperate.
"A meal like this is such a big deal and rare occurence to me that I have to take pictures and commemorate. Look at what I'm eating!"

Any guy who takes pictures of his food should go ahead and get himself castrated.
It's low class, pathetic, narcissistic to the 9th degree, gay as fuck and mind blowingly retarded that one could think their salad is so important it deserves a fucking photo.
I Selfie Shame people, including girls. If I'm at dinner with a chick and she whips out her phone to take a pic I shame her in a charming but sarcastic tone. Then they put it away.
"OMG LOOK AT MY CRAN-APPLE SALAD AWASH WITH WALNUTS AND DELICATE LITTLE PIECES OF CHEESE!! I MUST TAKE A PHOTO RIGHT NOW AND SHARE IT WITH MY SOCIAL MEDIA CIRCLE JERKING FRIENDS SO WE CAN ALL 'LIKE' EACH OTHER'S PHOTO AND TELL EACH OTHER HOW SMART AND COOL WE ARE!!"

^ A family friend of ours once told me that taking photos of your food is the Asian equivalent of saying Grace. I know people in general are affixed to their smartphones, but don't ask me why they feel a need to document every bloody thing they eat/see/do as if it never would've been -- "photos or it didn't happen" in the literal sense.
That said I only photograph stuff I've cooked and even then it would be something special. Something like takeaway pizza or fruit from home -- that's when I feel a burst of self loathing for my skin colour.

On the flip side - if you owned a restaurant and no one ever stopped to photograph the food, would it make you nervous?

Yeah I could see this.
Like so many things in life, there's an art to being a server, a perfect timing required based on the customers needs. It's why a good server stands out so much and is so appreciated... Man or woman

It isn't just Asians. I have maybe 80 Facebook friends. One of the reasons I rarely log in is due to food pics. Age, class, education, doesn't matter many do this. Most are women though.

Next time you're with an asian girl just playfully take her phone for the duration of the meal and hand it back afterwards. If she doesn't complain much about this and is even good natured about it then chances of a bang are high.
