In restaurants, top sellers, specials, and comps usually go out the best, unless it's the last one in stock, or they're in the shit and they're rushing them out a la minute. The random dish that sells 3 times a week has more of a tendency to come out subpar. Places will probably weigh the marketing of these deals, and, if anything, they'll out better than an everyday item.

Agreed, also the ingredients used for the top sellers should be fresher since they are being consumed at a greater pace. This reminds me of how Krispy Kreme has one item that they are known for, the glazed donut, which brings in customers who they are able to sell milk, coffee, and other assorted donuts.
"Banking on the fact that restaurants can’t take stellar pictures of their own food (food pics are a big deal), it sends out a professional photographer to get the job done."
Professional food photographers can make Wendys look delicious -- what happens when I pay for a delicious looking Kung Pao chicken on the web, and the restaurant delivers a more "everyday" experience, possibly made worse by the increased strain of preparing the same dish over and over again? I'd tend to feel a little ripped off by the site that sold me the deal, not necessarily the restaurant.
