   A restaurant theme that I'm putting together. There is going to be both a black and a white version.

   What is your body typeface going to be? (The lorem ipsum). Maybe give a bit more presence to the dish title, too. Feels a little small in that large content area, but I guess it fits with the food photography there. :)

   Nice detail on the rope!

   Body typeface was going to be Myriad Web Pro (via Typekit). It is going to be responsive, so I'm trying to use slightly smaller font-sizes so that content all looks natural at many different widths (as opposed to using a media query to change the body font-size every 200 pixel widths or something). Point taken though, I could probably bump it up a little.

   Thanks for the comment!

   Nice detail on the rope indeed!
   Have you tried the "SM: $7 LG: $12" text outside of the image's box? Bellow maybe, with now black background? Just text?

   Oh, and have you tried making the hole where the rope gets through trasparent? Like this -> http://cl.ly/2N111K3u13201x0O0u0n

   Really love this version (as well as the black version). The only little suggestion I have is that while I understand the reason behind the "featured menu item" icon, the icon itself looks more like a dayplanner than a menu. Not sure if the icon serves a functional purpose (add to take-out, for example... which would be awesome :)), but as a standalone indicator I had to read the text below to understand the icon.

   Thanks for the comments, all.

   @Samuel, I would have liked to do that, but it would make this much more difficult to code. We need to make the ropes basically be positioned over the top and bottom of white boxes that scale horizontally. We'd have to use a PNG image to have the holes be transparent where the ropes connect. So, we probably could have made it work in the long run, but what we would have sacrificed to get there probably isn't worth it.

   @Ryan I see what you're saying. We're actually going to rework those icons a little bit. For as prominent as they are, they need to either be easily identified or dropped altogether.

   I figured it was a coding issue. But still, great work ;)
