Typographic / no-photo: a marigold page-border frame, a mixed-type poster headline (script + serif + slab caps), and a coral line-art bowl instead of a photo. Retro-deli, ownable, green woven in. Borrows Rose Foods (16).

Modular tile-grid: an airy line-art intro with an ink badge, then a bento mosaic of colored nav tiles interleaved with photo tiles — navigation IS the grid. Graphic, bilingual, culturally apt. Borrows Yang's (28).

Illustration-led / mascot: a custom water-buffalo illustration is the hero centerpiece, a chunky rounded-serif vibe-list headline is the pitch, and the kitchen's own dish illustrations carry the favorites. Playful, ownable. Borrows Loro (27).

Illustration-led / mascot in the classic navy-coral-gold palette: the custom water-buffalo illustration (ox-mascot.jpg) is the hero centerpiece over a lighter photo strip, a chunky rounded-serif vibe-list headline, dish illustrations for favorites. Navy sibling of 03. Borrows Loro (27).

Bold & punchy on a light sage page (mirrors 06): ultra-condensed slab headline over a photo hero, terracotta + green accents, a Bowie/Laurel location picker, dark-forest footer. Portions-forward — borrows Bennett's (10) + Maono (21).

Sage-paper magazine: centered masthead, giant serif headline with a photo woven into the type, thin-rule stat strip, numbered story + favorites sections. Green carried by the canvas, editorial devices carry the polish.

Light sage / herb-paper editorial (mirrors 06): serif headline about the overnight simmer, olive accents, arched photo frame, herb ticker, dish cards, brand pull-quote band, dark-forest footer.

Palette exploration: olive promoted to primary surface (AA-hardened), rounded hero panel, forest ticker band, circular specialties row. Off the warm baseline on purpose.

Photography-led hero with dark scrim; the headline carries the pitch, stats strip (12h+ / 0 MSG / 1lb+) below. Moody, immersive — inspiration 05.
