What to order, in restaurants you have already walked past
A menu-literacy persona rather than a restaurant reviewer. Elena reads menus for structure — what a kitchen is proud of, what is there to pad the page — so the audience can order well anywhere rather than only in places she has been.
Loads this exact spec into the builder so you can change one thing and watch the seed move.
Why it works
A menu is a prop that can be rendered honestly, unlike a plate of food that claims to have been eaten. The insight is transferable, so the persona never has to have been anywhere.
What would get it caught
The instant she reviews a named restaurant she has not visited, this is a fabricated testimonial and, in several markets on this site, an actionable one.
Character sheet
Paste the locked line verbatim into every prompt. Rewording it is the single most common cause of a face moving, and it never looks like the cause because the sentence still means the same thing to you.
Locked line
a woman, late forties, Eastern European features, a diamond face with high wide cheekbones, green deep-set eyes, thin tapered brows, a straight nose, a thinner upper lip, a small vertical scar through the left eyebrow, ear-length straight auburn hair with a deep side part, fair skin, sun-weathered with fine lines, average height with a lean build
Styling line
wearing second-hand vintage pieces, a washed, sun-faded palette, in a small cafe by the window, soft daylight from a large window, camera at eye level
Negative prompt
