A black-and-white-style three-panel comic. Panel 1: A dark-haired woman sits beside a woman with glasses and reddish-blonde hair. The dark-haired woman says, "It's called 'The Detroit Rule.' Any food sounds tastier when prefaced by a location. Go ahead. Try it." Panel 2: The woman with glasses, alone, tests it: "Vermont carrots. Ottawa beef. Chilean salmon. Wow. That's weird." Panel 3: The two women appear as white silhouettes facing each other against black. The bespectacled woman asks, "But why's it called the Detroit Rule?" The dark-haired woman answers, "It's named after the one exception" — implying Detroit is the place that makes food sound worse. The other replies, "Ahhhh." Votey (aftercomic): A close-up of the dark-haired woman smiling as she adds, "In China, it's 'The Shenzhen Rule.'"
