bait plate

when one tries to attract a mate by posting food pics of dishes they’ve cooked

Tom: yes I’m going out with Susan again
George: where are you taking her?
Tom: this high end joint owned by some famous chef
George: is this the one who keeps fishing for a man posting the bait plate pics on her insta?
Tom: yeah man, I’m gonna treat it right and lock it in, Susan gonna be my wife and feed me like a pig the rest of my life
