We all know that food doesn't have to be pretty to be good, but of course, it never hurts. Especially in a time when food and drink photos dominate Instagram and other visually-driven platforms, it's become crucial to consider how things look. From the plating of a dish to the atmosphere of a restaurant, design and decor play a huge role in food-world success.
