Chris,
Just a minute... sxe dcrtfvgijmok,pl.[p;/.,plmko hjgf.... I had to wipe th=
e drool off the key board. Say, can I come over for your next photo shoot?=
I'll bring my own fork and spoon.....
My brother-in-law is a commercial photographer in San Francisco. He shot t=
he photos for a couple of high-end recipe books. He hired a Food Stylist t=
o prepare and arrange the food for the pictures. He told me the Food Styli=
st showed up with a blow torch and branding iron in his tool kit. He also =
said that, although the food looked great for the photos, you wouldn't want=
to eat it afterward. So your use of a store bought chicken that could act=
ually be eaten isn't, in my opinion, the "OH NO" that one might think.
