Description

This prompt is useful for creating high-end restaurant menu mockups, recipe book spreads, and gourmet advertisement visuals. The combination of 'soft directional lighting' with the specified elements like 'melted yellow American cheese dripping' ensures that the meat and bread textures are emphasized by defined shadows rather than appearing flat, which is crucial for making the food look immediately appetizing.
