Reduce food photo file size without flattening the dish
A single phone photo of a plate is 3-6MB, and a real menu or recipe shoot needs fifteen to forty of them. That is hundreds of megabytes for photography that ends up displayed at thumbnail size in a grid. Most of that weight is invisible: excess resolution, camera metadata, and an encoding chosen for safety rather than efficiency. Reducing file size properly means dealing with those three things in order, before touching the quality setting at all.

The bytes in a food photo come from three places
Use these before you upload or share the page.
Resolution first. Cropping a food shot to the frame and then cutting it to the size the layout renders removes more bytes than any quality slider will.
Metadata second. Camera EXIF, GPS, and embedded thumbnails ride along invisibly — stripping them is free weight loss with zero quality cost.
Quality last, and only as far as needed. Step down until the file fits, then stop. Past that point food photos go flat, and food is judged on colour.
