Why Some of Our Recipe Images Are AI-Generated

We believe that a recipe's value is in its flavor, not just its looks. Sometimes, the Major forgets to snap a picture because the food is too good to wait for, or a recipe is simply too old and a photo was never taken. The Major personally verifies all images to insure they accurately represent the dish. Major Grubbage™ is committed to replacing all images with authentic photos as the site grows, but until then, we hope you'll dig in with the same enthusiasm that makes us forget the camera.
