Runners pass by a small green building with a large red circular sign that reads "Jo's" at the top. The building has a red stripe along the roofline and is located at the corner of South Congress Avenue. A small crowd of people stands on the sidewalk, watching and cheering the runners as they go by. In the background, there are trees with bare branches and a street sign indicating Congress Avenue.

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.
