You're sitting at the bar at Francie, sipping a drink and waiting for your table. A striking Asian woman in designer heels clicks past you, camera equipment in hand, heading to a nearby table. She's dressed impeccably - Prada, Louis Vuitton, the works.

After you get your table near her, over the next hour, you watch her meticulously photograph each dish: the foie gras, the Colorado lamb, adjusting her lighting setup between bites. She seems completely in her element, confident and professional-looking.

Then things shift. You notice the manager Tony approaching her table, his expression serious. Voices are raised slightly - something about payment, about "agreeing beforehand," about declined cards. She's gesturing, explaining something about trading photos for the meal.
