TL;DR
What did @tristanbob use ChatGPT for?
Faced with menu names they didn't recognize at a new German restaurant, a diner photographed the menu and asked ChatGPT to make images of the dishes; it produced 9 images covering all 37 items. In "Less than 4 minutes" it had generated 9 images that together showed all 37 menu items.
What they did
At a new German restaurant where they didn't know many of the dish names, they gave ChatGPT the menu and asked it to make images of the things on it.
How it went
In "Less than 4 minutes" it had generated 9 images that together showed all 37 menu items.
Worth knowing
- The images are AI guesses at what a dish usually looks like, not photos of what this kitchen serves. Ask the server about allergens and ingredients.
- Price check: ChatGPT: free plan; Go: US$8/month (checked Nov 1, 2026).

Try it yourself
Paste this into a chatbot, then add your own details underneath.
Here is a photo of a restaurant menu. For each dish, give a one-line plain-English description of what it is. Then make images showing what each dish typically looks like, grouping several dishes per image and labeling each one with its menu name.
