Busy, dimly lit restaurants, where I haven't gone ahead and explicitly setup shoots with owners. I'm not just going to walk in with a tripod at a random lunch. I promote food and cocktails for the Western, NY region. Mainly Rochester / Fingerlakes. So I'm out and about trying new places, ultimately deciding if I'm going to promote them before I even meet owners. I don't want preferential treatment, which usually comes when they know who you are. My followers expect that I'm giving them only the best food in the area, and not what someone has given me for free or done up extra special.
