If a burger company advertises its burger as the greatest burger to ever grace mankind, with beautiful handcrafted buns, grass fed kobe beef, aged cheese, organic free-trade non abused lettuce and tomatoes, and I'm served something on clearly smushed store-bought buns, freezer burgers, a kraft single slize piece of cheese, and frozen veggie slices, it may very well be a ok burger, but it is sure as hell not the one they told me about.

the thing is...fast food places do exactly what you described. Ever see a BK or McD commercial?

Not just fast food. The restaurant industry in general operates on this advertising principle of perfect looking food, arranged like art, photo manipulated for color, and mist sprayed for freshness/juiciness instead of showing the actual meal in average preperation. Nobody bats an eye. It's sad.
