A bright red tray holds a hearty meal of Southern-style comfort food. On the left, there is a large fried chicken sandwich with a golden-brown crispy chicken fillet, topped with shredded cabbage slaw and a creamy sauce, all inside a shiny toasted bun. Next to the sandwich is a small metal cup of white dipping sauce garnished with chopped green herbs. In the center, a tall vanilla milkshake in a clear plastic cup is topped with crumbled cookie pieces and a red-and-white striped straw. On the right side of the tray, there are several pieces of crunchy fried chicken tenders, each garnished with slices of bright green pickles. Below them is a portion of crinkle-cut French fries. A metal cup filled with extra pickle slices sits in the bottom left corner of the tray. The background shows red chairs and tables outside a restaurant with black and white tiled walls.
