Comment: Talking with the restaurant to get some higher quality photos than are in the article now. They tend to be visually interesting so I'd like to put this nomination on hold for a few days to see if I can make that happen. I will update here soon. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 06:56, 2 February 2018 (UTC)

Length and newness fine, both hooks sourced, cited and interesting though I prefer the first. Passed a check for copyvio; QPQ completed. Gatoclass (talk) 09:17, 6 February 2018 (UTC)

Thanks. I would still prefer to wait a few days for a better image. We do have File:Dirt candy portobello mousse (3505768667).jpg, which may work for DYK, but the restaurant tried to send some good images to me -- they just hadn't been licensed properly. Hoping to get that worked out, since the quality of the images is better. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 01:53, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

@Rhododendrites: it's been 3 weeks; do you have an answer yet? Yoninah (talk) 23:28, 20 February 2018 (UTC)

@Yoninah: thanks for the ping. I just sent them one last message saying that we'll be moving forward if they can't release the better/newer images by Saturday. Since they did try to send some (by Facebook), it seems they want to do so, but I agree a lot of time has gone by. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 01:58, 21 February 2018 (UTC)

@Yoninah and Gatoclass: Saturday has come and gone and I haven't heard anything. No sense holding this any longer. We do have these two images already: File:Dirt candy portobello mousse (3505768667).jpg, File:Dirt candy popcorn pudding (3505768525).jpg. Think either merits inclusion here? — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 14:38, 28 February 2018 (UTC)

@Rhododendrites: thanks for your efforts. I agree with Gatoclass that the first hook is the best, so I'm moving it to a quirky slot. Yoninah (talk) 18:14, 28 February 2018 (UTC)
