    Kevin, I HEART this cover image! Great job! It is so adorable, and yet enticing, and I love how it looks with the words on the cover on the website! Congrats! Cindy

    Yes it is almost worth doing a tutorial on how it was done.
    Originally we tried to shoot it au naturelle but the flame was never right and the shrimp started to burn. We shot it in two views. One for the flame and grille and then the burger and shrimp. Steve did extra flame work and presto a cover shot.
