I know this might be a cold take colder than the arctic, but I love how food looks in anime. Something about the lighting, the preparation, and the overall food vibes in anime put me at ease. I'd say that the unique aesthetic of anime shows and movies are some of the driving forces that draw people, particularly Americans, to them. After all, adult animation made in the United States can be so ugly. I mean, have you seen Big Mouth? Oftentimes, American showrunners and animators care a lot less about creating a compelling visual and more about pushing the boundaries about just how inappropriate a cartoon can be. Anime tends to use animation as a visual tool in a more effective and universal way than the likes of Family Guy or South Park. If you've ever wanted to make a delicious bowl of ramen that you see in anime, the following memes might tickle your fancy.
