A group of runners jogs down a sunlit street. Most of the runners are wearing athletic gear such as tank tops, shorts, and running shoes. Some hold water bottles, and a few are smiling as they run. In the background, there is a white building with a sign that reads "Better Half Coffee Bar & Café" partially visible behind the trees and other runners.

A unique culinary creation with an artistic presentation. A small, round base, possibly a bread or pastry, is topped with a creamy, lightly toasted layer of sauce or cheese. Skewered on top are succulent, charred pieces of meat or mushroom, stacked and crowned with a tiny figurine of a skull in a top hat. The background is softly blurred, with hints of other elegantly plated dishes.
