BBQ Menu Image Prompt for Smokehouse

Objective: Create a reusable, structured image prompt that generates a high-detail BBQ menu for a smokehouse, complete with two-column layout, hand-lettered typography, realistic cartoon food illustrations, and clear pricing sections.

The base prompt was formed by breaking the original description into modular sections that control visual hierarchy, food realism, and restaurant branding. Follow these steps:

• Identify the overall scene and vertical menu format first so the AI understands the canvas orientation.
• Define the black chalkboard background and distressed chalk textures to lock in the vintage smokehouse aesthetic.
• Separate text elements (titles, banners, prices, footer) from illustration elements so each can be adjusted independently.
• Group menu items by column and section to preserve the clean two-column layout.
• Keep the column positions and all banner titles fixed for layout stability while making the point-form menu content variable.
• Turn the four illustration descriptions into variables so food visuals can be swapped independently of the menu text.
• Add soft white outlines and vibrant orange accents as consistent rendering cues for food and badges.
